For future paint jobs, I recommend this:

http://www.micromark.com/MASK-IT-EASY-8-FL-OZ,7596.html

It's a liquid masking tape, you use a knife or sharp object to slice the film, then it comes off with water. So don't use water-based paints. If you do, make sure they are dry, it's less likey to come off.

You did a good job by using a free-handed paint brush.

thank you for the tip i'll be sure to use i was looking for a better way to not get paint one the windows. I'll most like knock out the windows due to the paint plus the shadows of the people tp me make it look toyish.

Yeah, your better off taking out the people shadows and placing a board of styrene over the motors below as a base so you can see inside the trolley.
