Suggestions For Wire Load Ties
I would use leftover thread from a Jaeger lumber load. Or you could use Pele's electrician tape idea. Never had luck with that myself. Allen Montgomery wyomingdivision.org

What Is Wet Pulp Service?
All I know is that the C&NW used insulated cars for wet pulp to the paper mills so they didn't freeze in the winter. Going to go with something like that here... Allen Montgomery wyomingdivision.org

Tru-color paint
I'm in Arizona, so lack of humidity is never a problem, unless it's so dry the paint can flash before hitting the surface. But that's only in summer. My compressor has a moisture catch, but I've never
