Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I presume you're referring to Southern Pacific Daylight, Train 98-99 by Richard K. Wright. Be aware that the book was $60 when new in 1980 and prices have risen since then.
Good book, though.
There is a huge book dedicated completely to 98-99 Daylights that has everything you are loooking for and more. The book has exterior and interior shots of all cars, even drawings. My suggestion is find the book.
Any body got shots of the Daylights Triple Diners or Act Chair cars, inside or out (would like to see the inside a lot) or any other articulated passenger cars would be nice to.
Thanks
