If you plan on modeling the Exposition Flyer, you need to have Pullman on the sides of the sleepers only. Just save up your money and buy the remaining cars from Railway Classics. Then you will have a 100% accurate model of the Exposition Flyer. Since you're willing to site the short commings of model railroading, you're more willing to settle for second best. I mix brass and plastic passenger cars. I buy brass cars that are specific for the railroads that I model and plastic that were accutally on all railroads that I model. For example, my coaches are brass (ATSF Budd 52 seat chair car, ATSF HWYT chair diner and head end, UP 44 seat coach, lounge and 5-2-2 sleeper and SP 48 seat coach and dome lounge.) I plan on adding several more sleepers in the Valley and American series in plastic. I also have several Walthers express refers and plan on adding several Walthers Pennsy express boxes. This way, I can make 100% accurate passenger trains with out exceeding my yearly budget <br />Ch
