There are at least some tunnels on most routes out of California, and that means the cars are covered with soot on nearly every trip. The recommended PFE orange I've seen and used most often is SP Daylight Orange. I've used both Scalecoat and Floquil.
Very interesting old models... Would it be simpler to just duplicate them and keep the original as a collecting item that testify for older technic? (my collector side speaking there).
Good to hear about the color... My cars will probably received a share of dusting and sooting to make them appear better. South sun was probably aging the color a lot too.
