Notes:

In 2004, the NASG's Special Projects committee commissioned American Models to produce this sleeper car to enhance their line-up of their heavyweight cars. There were several versions released, with this one being painted with the dual-gray paint scheme resembling the NYC's cars. The car arrived unlettered, but NYC decals were included. The reason the car was not factory-lettered is because this paint scheme was also applicable for cars of these railroads: B&M, B&O, C&O, FEC, GM&O, IC, MP, NKP, SAL, and SR.

Bill Winans' model has been slightly modified in that it shows "SLE&P" in the upper right-hand corner, as opposed to "Pullman". The custom decals were produced by Stan Cedarleaf.

This is what the car would look like when the included decals were applied.
