Union Terminal S-2 Sleeper

[NW Modeling List]

The car name and the “Pullman” lettering is wrong type style as well. 

I have not a clue why a manufacturer would do such a thing, the information is out here, contact the N&WHS or Richard Shell, both have correct information for all this.

For the price, it is toy train mentality.
