"Buchanan" and "Lowry"

[NW Modeling List]

Help!
 
Today I seized the opportunity to purchase a custom-painted AHM 12-1  sleeper 
that had been done in N&W colors and lettered "Buchanan", which was  of 
course indeed a 12-1.  However, the model has been lettered "Norfolk and  Western" 
with small "Pullman" near the vestibule doors.  The best  information I can 
find seems to indicate that "Buchanan," although painted in  N&W colors, always 
retained "Pullman" on the letterboard.
 
In contrast, "Lowry," otherwise similar, WAS lettered like the model I  
bought.
 
Changing "Buchanan" to "Lowry" is not that big a deal, but if "Buchanan"  did 
get "Norfolk and Western" lettering at some point, I get saved some  effort.  
(The painting and lettering were well done.  I don't know who  did it but he 
[or she] is to be commended.)
 
Yes, I know the AHM trucks aren't right and I really ought to add air  
conditioning ducts, but, hey, one crisis at a time!
