What are the car numbers the Chief uses (say for train #3)?

I think the sleepers are 0330, 0331 and if there is a third 0332. And Train 4 is 0430, 0431, and 0432.

What numbers do the coaches display? Do any other cars display numbers (like the Dorm, Diner and Lounge)?

I'm interested in this because I'm repainting some Superliners another modeler made for Microsoft Train sim and I'd like to use them for a simulated late 90's early 2000's era Southwest Chief.

Here is a work in progress pic of a sleeper I'm repainting:

How do you build engines and coaches? I never had time to figure that part out. I'm still working on my sunset route.

Building I haven't figured out yet, because if I did I'd make more accurate Superliners. But repainting is fairly easy with TGATool, and an editor....I use Paint Shop Pro.

This link might be helpful if you haven't already found it:
