Sleepers had different window arrangements depending on the types and numbers of rooms they had. Devil's Lake, Bowman Lake, and Medicine Lake were all built by Pullman in May 1924 to plan 3585, as 10 section-1 drawing room-2 compartment cars. (See Tom Madden's excellent Car Construction Record database at http://www.pullmanproject.com for more details). The Branchline Trains models would be a good match. The Scenic series were rebuilt from the Peak series in 1937 as 12 section-1 drawing room-2 bedroom cars (plan 4074). The photos I have seen of Scenic Falls (from George Elwood's site) appear to resemble the Bachman 12-1-2 sleepers, but I have not seen one up close and in person to be sure.
