Thanks all that supported me with information about the EL (Ex Erie) milk
cars.
After a number of iterations between CAD and the resin printer I came up
with the three versions attached in the pictures.

They are now officially declared as "OK"!
I could have made some final adjustments to the 3D print files, but they
are printable.
The saddest part is that the final layer of varnish failed for me, I had an
old paint jar with "matt", shooked and stirred it for a long time but it
came out with white "clouding"... Almost paralyzed I started fiddling with
some of the models and found that the decal solution Microsol did something
and faded out the white clouding, don't know what's in there but happy it
worked!

As always with pictures, there are imperfections but less visible in real
life than in the pics. I also plan to add some dust, wear and tear to the
models before they are considered done. The attached pictures are "as
delivered"...

The cars are:
Erie 6600 in the original paint, all Pullman green with black roofwalk,
imitation gold lettering.
Erie 6627 in TTG paint, black roof
EL 6623 in Pullman green and with "tar" (Grimy black) roof and roofwalk.

From the replies I had, these seem to be the various paint schemes for
these cars...
I have two extra Road# of the EL cars and one extra of the Erie TTG. I
think I will settle with these... But I may print and build a few extra...
Most likely I will move on and try to find another EL model to CAD/print...

Again, thanks for all the help from the list, extremely valuable when you
are based in Sweden and have an ambition to model EL

equipment with a bit higher accuracy than just buying RTR EL stuff on
eBay... ;)
