Paint schemes on Santa Fe passenger cars

Not to my knowledge. Santa Fe heavyweight passenger equipment was dark green (Pullman Green), while the streamline equipment was all polished stainless steel.

The only exception was the Valley Flyer, which ran 1939-1940 during the Golden Gate International Exhibition.  The red/yellow/black stripes ran along the bottom of the cars.

Santa Fe had a Chicago-L.A. budget train the "Scout" that used heayweights painted two tone gray.  Scout service ended in 1948.

Santa Fe also has some smooth sided streamline cars that were either two tone gray or all gray.

No Santa Fe stainless steel Pullman or Budd cars had striping of any kind.

if I remember correctly, and I know someone will correct me if I wrong, the striping scheme started on the MTH El Capitan set, decades ago. MTH used a detailed passenger car with the striping scheme supplied by a local modeler. I know because I gave it to them. You will see the stripes carry forward through on many Santa fe models over the years. In some cases the striping appears on random Santa fe freight cars as well. The intent of the stripes was to replicate the stripes of the F units

You can use two tone gray on the non stainless light weight sleepers. This was an adopted scheme from Pullman, and was very similar to the NYCS 1940 scheme for the Century. Not sure if any other cars got this paint. AT&SF lettered these cars for their ownership after the Pullman sell-off of 1948.  They also used a solid light gray paint for the smooth side sleepers. Caution: there are a TON of Santa Fe fantasy paint schemes out there, and I'll admit- some look pretty decent. One that does not, IMHO, is the Lionel "Midnight Chief" !

Santa Fe ran a Pendulum Car on the San Diegan which was originally painted a two-tone blue. It was later painted silver.  Click the link above for more of the story...
