The following are cars that can be accurately modeled currently in N-scale using available car sides, kits and R-T-R models.  The list below are recommendations only, based on the best information that I have on-hand.  If you know of additions or corrections that need to be made, or know of suitable decals for lettering these cars, please email me by Clicking Here.

* - It should be noted that the Union Station Products are Craftsman-level kits.  Some clean-up of parts and assembly is required, and care must be exercised when assembling these sides because of the delicate parts.

Note 1:  Sleeper cars of the B&O were named as follows:

Individual names for cars having 10 Rmt - 6 DBR:

Alleghany	Guyandotte	Scheylkill	Tuscarawas
Auglaise	Kokosing	Shenandoah	Tygart
Catochin	Muscatatuck	Sheango	Youghiogheny
Cuyahoga	Opequon

Individual names for cars having 14 Rmt - 4 DBR:

Cacapon	Mononcacy	Patuxent	Sangamon
Mahoning	Muskingum	Paw Paw	Scioto

Individual names for cars having 5 DBR - buffet lounge observation:

Dana	Metcalf	Nappanee	Wawasee

Individual names for cars having 10 Rmt - 5 DBR:

Cascade Bluff	Cascade Drive	Cascade Locks	Cascade Sound
Cascade Boulder	Cascade Gully	Cascade Music

Individual names for cars having 2 DBR - 1 Comp - 1 DR - buffet lounge:

Genesee River	Maumee River	Wabash River

Note 2:  The M&R sides could be of use for modeling a smooth sided 10-6 sleeper (I do not know if any retained the corrugation) while the NKP Car sides would be useful in modeling a corrugated car. Either version could be modeled with the U.S.P. sides kit.

Note 3:  The first number is for car sides with the center skirting, the second number is for car sides without skirting.

Note 4:  While both Kato and Concor offer models of the Budd Slumbercoach the Kato model represents a Burlington Route car with full length skirting, while the Concor model represents a car with the cut-outs in the skirting for the trucks, which would be appropriate for modeling a B&O cars.

Note 5:  At the present time there is not an appropriate core kit for this type of car.  These sides are mentioned only as a matter of record.

Note 6:  The Laser Horizon and Union Station Products sides both require corrugation being added below the window section for the models to be appropriate.  For the L.H. sides, U.S.P. P.S. corrugation or M.&R. Texas Special corrugation for EMD E7As would be needed for the sides to be completely accurate.  Unique to a few corrugated cars on the B&O, these cars had the Cor-ten steel portions of the sides painted to match smooth sided cars, with a gray window section, blue letterboard and lower side area (non-corrugated) and yellow striping.
