Quality and resonable replica of the N&W heavy's?

[NW Modeling List]

The coach, combine, and diner all make decent stand-ins right out of the 
box.  The coach is a PG, the combine a BPd, and the diner a DE.  If you 
wanted to make them closer, I'd probably start with the roofs of the coach 
and the combine by removing the vents on top.  The biggest problem with the 
diner appears to be the doors.  The model has them on opposite ends of the 
car, while the DE had both doors on the same end.  The observation needs 
some major window alterations to even resemble an N&W business car.
