For some reason the MTH page does not list them like usual and the stock photo lacks the resolution to read them. I've inquired with MTH, but no response yet. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, I don't have this set of cars so I can't tell you the names on them but I bought similar set of Southern Streamlined passanger cars that were catalog in 2017, MTH 20-65282. They are nice set of Southern Passanger cars.
I suggested to MTH a few days ago to make a set of Southern Streamlined Passanger Cars with shiny chrome plated sides similar to the streamlined cars they have recently made for SantaFe and California Zephyr road names. It seems like they make these Southern Streamlined cars every few years so with any luck they might do them with the plated sides for the next run.
Thanks for your reply, Kris. Back in Dec 2017, I asked the same question here about your 20-65282 set. I'm trying to round up certain cars from the 1941 Tennessean streamlined train. I've had good success using the MTH Locator advanced search to identify what they've made so far, the exception being the 20-65271 set.
I've also suggested to MTH they add the Pullman sleeper model to their Madison line. Then they could make two-car Standard heavyweight sleeper sets. The Southern sleeper cars were painted silver to match the 1941 Tennessean streamlined consist. FWIW, those cars were Brentwood, Dahlonega, Knickerbocker, Puritan, Villa Heights, Villa Nova and Villa Verde. It would make an interesting mix for Southern fans.
