Need help with the SP Daylight color scheme

It’s far from prototype but the windows are un-tinted and I’d like the interior colors to be somewhat close to prototype. I kitbashed a 85’ Bachmann Full Dome to a ¾ dome but it doesn’t look right with my 72’ Athearn cars. I have a lot of pictures of the prototype but all are black & white.

I have finished the shell and have the interior primed ready to paint. The floor plan is reasonably close to the prototype car #3600.

Interior

The Lounge Bar is at the far left, it’s also a lift out 2½ oz. weight. I have a second 2½ oz. weight under the top deck over the trucks on the right end of the car bottom.

I’m going to use 1:100 figures in the dome seating area and 1:87 i

There’s some info on interior colours here:

Apparently, each car used a different clour scheme.

Thanks Wayne

I’m constantly looking for 1950s era SP sites and this is one I missed. Great site with great info and pictures. From riding the Golden State in my teen years those pictures confirm my memories of light yellows & orange interior walls with grey & blue chairs. The SP didn’t run a ¾ dome lounge on the Golden State route but I do.

Thanks again for helping this old ESPEER.
