Since this topic keeps getting brought back to life... Here's some questions for you: Colors of objects if possible: Walls, Seats, Floor, Vestibule New York Central Heavyweight interior colors? For the long distance heavyweights, I was told dark gray carpet with light gray seats and a red stripe down the center of the carpet. Walls and vestibules were a beige color. What about the commuter cars? I remember someone telling me the floors were lineoleum(what color is that?) and red seats...but unsure of shade. Southern Two Tone Green Crescent? I was told a dark green floor with a pullmanish/light green seats Pullman (or Nickel Plate Road) Heavyweight Combine and Diner Lounge: I have the interior colors for N&W's Powhattan Arrow at my house. I am currently in my dorm, but when I return I will give you the specs that I have for each type of car that I got from the Purple Norfolk and Western Handbook. A website I just came across tonight had color interior pictures of cars from: Canadian National, CB&Q, Milwaukee Road, and Southern Pacific. [url]http://www.jerryapp.com/arcv_idx.html[/url] I also have some random interior colors I got from a few books that I was trying to research interio colors from at the NCSU Library: -Southern Railway: Coach...outside seat red, inside seat gray, walls a medium jade green -Empire State: colors used...but on what? mullberry, evergreen, brown, and marine blue -20th Century Limited: clublounge car: walls - gray leather, couches blue leather and the shades match the exterior, them being light shades -Southern Pacific Daylight: SP had special names for their colors: Russian Tan, Broken White, Nantes Blue, Cocoa Beige, Jonquil Yellow; each car had six basic colors, darkest on floors, medium at walls, and lighting on cieling -B&O's Royal Blue: light color walls, chromium tublur furntiure and linoleum chairs in lounge: red, brown, and green frieze coach and parlor: rust and red frieze with neutal ivory seats -Santa Fe's Super Chief: observation lounge: turqoise cieling, red chairs w/ blue and white patterns diner: chairs - red -orange leather; carpet was same color but with black accents also each car had its own little theme -M-1000 City of Saline: chairs - golden brown -Pullman (not sure of what car tho...possibly Mainline Coach): beige/yellow walls, maroon floor in vestibules and bathroom, myrtle green seats, white sinks and toilets -L&N's The Georgian: upholstery shades of browns and reds, maroon rugs, ivory walls and cielings diner/parlors #2800-2801:red booths, black counters, blue/grey floor -Clinchfield: obs/lounge: grey floor, walls are beige, blue and maroon seats, white table tops w/ silver sides, white walls Those are just some tidbits I was able to scan from about 10-20 different books. No one really seemed to keep tabs on or care about the interior colors. Thanks for the tips and ideas.
