The Southern Pacific Company wasn't created until 1884, so you are going back to the very earliest period of SP operation. Decals for that time period have always been tough to get as so few models were available and sales would probably have been slow for the decal companies. Champ and Microscale certainly are the places to look for something that will work. One package of decals from Microscale should do several cars. <br /> <br />Early SP lettering is somewhat ornate compared to the more standardized Harriman era lettering that prevailed from the late 1890's onward.
