If you're looking for accurate models of SP narrow gauge equipment, you're in for a small wait followed by a sizable check. Accucraft is working on an SP 10-wheeler in 1:20.3, which should be available--well--yeah. It's in the works. As for rolling stock, I'm not sure if any of the current AMS (Accucraft) or Bachmann line is based on SP prototypes, or if the flats and box cars are generic enough to be fairly close, but that's where I'd start looking first.

 

LGB (and perhaps Bachmann) made some equipment lettered for SP in 1:22.5, but--again--how close it came to actualy SP prototypes is a bit questionable. The colors are certainly a bit garish compared to the prototype.

 

Later,

 Tha AMS 1:20.3 (Accucraft) SP narrow gauge stock are just re-paints of the D&RGW stock.

Nothing in particular to the SP.

Bachmann also has some repaints in their Spectrum 1:20 line.
