When looking at AZL`s beautiful brass Daylight E7 A-B-B (AZL-2843), pictures came to my mind of Espee`s oldest name train "The Sunset Limited"www.american-rails.com/sunset.htmlAnd on one of the pictures there you could see the Daylight E7 A-B-B pulling a 13 car Sunset Limited built from LW cars only!!! And more bigger was my surprise when I realized that the "The Sunset Limited" on the picture can be modelled with AZL`s 73004 LW series. However, I would add the daylight LW baggage AZL 73647 (T&NO !!!) and the LW RPO AZL 73947. However, the E7 were not the power of choice from the beginning. When the Southern Pacific began to dieselize its passenger operations in the late 1940’s, Alco’s PA passenger diesel was the motive power of choice. 12 PA-1’s in the 6000 series were acquired for the Pacific lines in mid-1948. Another 12 PA-1’s arrived between June and August 1949 for its T&NO operations. These were numbered 200A,B – 205A,B The Sunset Limited was operated with heavyweight equipment until mid-1950, which allows us to use the olive green AZL 71004 series. Make sure you don't use the SP Lines lettered HW. For the parlour cars pick the T&NO operated ones.
