My Consist

I'm trying to model a little something of everything Union Pacific had in the streamliner/ light weight passenger car era: baggage, RPO, club, dorm, coach, dining, lounge, sleeper, dome, observation, lunch counter, etc..  I've tried to pick sleepers that would give an example of all the types of accomodations UP had: duplex roomette, roomette, section, bedroom, double bedroom, drawing room and compartment.  This is what I have so far, and this list will be altered has I find out more info and more cars are added to the consist.
