Looking for the Sunset paint scheme on Southern Pacific passenger cars. Can anyone point me in the right direction ???? Tried DLS and no luck....

Do you mean the Stainless Steel ones or the ones like in the Daylight colors?

As far as I know there are no sunset limited cars available, there is a set of Daylight cars on the DLS by Trainboi1 though.
 
There were some reskins available at one time of some Sunset Limited cars by SpeedBumpTrainz01 but the site he had them on was taken down and he hasn't been around for awhile.

I'm still researching but...



It looks like SpeedBumpTrucker was aiming for

A typical consist from the early 1950s included:
An A-B-A Set of Alco PA-1 or an A-B-B Set of EMD E-7 diesel locomotives, both in Daylight colors
Railway Post Office/Baggage
Baggage Dormitory
Partitioned Coach

Coffee Shop Lounge Pride of Texas

10-roomette, 6-double bedroom sleeper

Diner Audubon
Lounge French Quarter
10-roomette, 6-double bedroom sleeper
10-roomette, 6-double bedroom sleeper
10-roomette, 6-double bedroom blunt ended sleeper
(from Wikipedia)

Coach passengers were not allowed into the Sleepers, Diner, or Lounge.

EDIT: one or more sleepers could be transferred at New Orleans to the Crescent Limited for the trip up to New York. In it's heyday you could get a sleeper compartment from San Francisco to New York.
