THE LW SLEEPERS INCLUDED THE "AMERICAN" SERIES (6-6-4), THE "PRESIDENT"
SERIES(10-6) AND LATER THE TWO "YOUNGSTOWN" CARS.

DON'T FORGET THE LW HEAD END CARS (BAGGAGE MODELS AVAILABLE FROM ELHS) FROM
BERWICK [BAGGAGE, BAGGAGE-MAIL, MAIL-DORM).  CARS WERE MORE A PULLMAN (DARK)
GREEN.

THE PAINTED MODEL HAS THE SOLID DOOR.  COLORS ON THE PAINTED MODEL (ALSO ON
THE PA) ARE NOT VERY ACCURATE.  IF YOU GET AN UNDEC VERSION, BOTH DOORS ARE
INCLUDED SO IT CAN BE BUILT W/O THE MARS LIGHT.>
