* - 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:  The following names were given to these cars, circa mid-70s:
  31 - Ausable River   34 - Whiteface Mountain   43 - Castle Gate (to Champlain)
  32 - Bulwagga Bay   41 - Mt. Timpanogos (to Saratoga Inn)   
  33 - Mount Marcy (to Schroon Lake)   42 - James Peak (to Adirondack Lodge)

Note 2:  The Lazer Horizon sides represent these cars after they had their corrugation removed due to corrosion beneath the side panels.  If desired the P.S. corrugation offered by Union Station Products could be used to add this detail to the car sides.  The U.S.P. sides kit contains this corrugation as well.

Note 3:  At the present time there is not a suitable core kit for building these unique cars.  They are mentioned here purely as a matter of record.
