Jimrice4449 has the correct consist, in the correct order, for the mid-'50's Super Chief. The Santa Fe was very helpful to future researchers by presenting detailed consist information in its public passenger timetables and its entries in the Official Guide of the Railways over the years. My January 1953 issue of the Guide confirms the consist listed above. One of the 10-6 sleepers ran Los Angeles-Kansas City only; the rest of the train ran Los Angeles-Chicago. Note two items in reference to the consists and the Walthers train. First, the 4-4-2 sleeper offered by Walthers is a pre-WWII car. These cars were bumped from the Super Chief by "Regal"-series 4-4-2 cars built by Pullman-Standard and ACF in 1948 and 1950. Second, the "Vista"-series observation cars had their "boat tail" ends squared off in 1956.
