Hello all I have Aquired a set of Athearn Blue Boxe Santa Fe passenger cars and a F7a and F7b unit I'll be detailing the engines and adding sound. I will also be doing Interiors in the passengers cars with lightning effect.

I'am at a point now to get started just need to find a source for some technical info mainly the Interior colors in the cars. Is there anyone here that may have that info and some color pictures?



Thank you in advance.

From old artwork for the Super Cheif seems to be a red seating interior with a light tan interior walls and floor, hope this helps.
 


I've been trying to find info on the turquoise room.
Notice the mix of china. The plates are special for the turquoise room, but the extra dishes salt, pepper, sugar are Mimbreno. I also noticed in the video they were also serving on standard Mimbreno china.
