Hi everyone: Thank you for your replies They are incredibly helpful. Sounds like for say the year 1953, a variety of equipment and colors can be used esp for the SF Overland, including Budd cars (for SP), heavyweights, and "smoothside" streamliners. Most should be UP Armour yellow, but I can have 2 tone gray for some of the SP cars. I also assume, concering modeling, that most of the cars should be 'smoothside" streamliners and not Budd cars w fluted sides. Would most of the cars be streamliners? How many heavywieights would still be around in 1953 -- someone did mention a heavyweight SP coffee shop lounge car. I assume some of the mail and RPO cars (like for the SF Overland) could have been heavyweights. Would some of the heavywieights be pullman green or all 2 tone gray or armour yellow? Given 1953 as the year I am modelling -- no dome cars. No SP cars that are silver w red stripes?? Thanks again!!! John
