The sleepers were redone with all teak and walnut walls (Not both in the same car), room ceilings white, aisle ceilings grey, brown carpet, brown blankets on the beds, and I think a burgandy or maroon color on the seats. Don't remember the coaches too well.

I have an exterior (vestibule) door from the UP Lounge Car #1519. The interior side of the door is beige with gold colored decals noting the initial & number of the car. The exterior is also beige but appears to have been painted gray in the past where the beige paint has been chipped away. The exterior side also has "Lounge" in gold colored decals.

Rode the excursion cars...
as of 1995, the carpet was light brown/tan, short industrial nap.
Seats were covered in cloth, dark green with light green side accents and the UP logo in light green woven into the pattern.

Car interior was painted tan.
