I have a 5 car set of Premier Pullman Green Heavyweights. I need to know if MTH ever made the add-on sleeper/diner set to go with it. Does anyone know the number for the set or anything about them? I would love to complete my consist. I tried the search from MTH's website with no luck.

What railroad?
I need to know if MTH ever made the add-on sleeper/diner set to go with it.
I'm sure they did.
Does anyone know the number for the set or anything about them?
What is the item/product number of the set you already have?

I don't think they did. The only add on set I see is a Combine/Diner. I am not sure if Pullman ever made diners anyway nor baggage cars. Those usually had the name of the RR that pulled them. K-Line has done add on cars lettered for Pullman. One simply named Diner, the others, Night Route and New Orleans. They also did a did car set of 18" cars lettered for Pullman which only rarely come up. They match up well with MTH cars. They come up on the auction sites every now and then.
I guess the question is are the OP's cars lettered for Pullman or just painted Pullman Green???

I will look up my box and find out the MTH number.
Pullman did have food service in some cars. However, these were "combo" cars, not total food service cars. You might have some food service combined with a lounge and sleeping rooms in an observation car. Of course, such cars were NOT the norm! Or might have some sort of lounge service in a palour car. Again, not the norm!
OK, maybe a bit more information might be in order:
1) Are we talking Pullman Green passenger cars, lettered for any number of railroads?
or
2) Are we talking Pullman lettered passenger cars, that are painted Pullman Green?
Yes they did for the green Pullman sets. I have two both with add-ons

I don't think Pullman had FULL bags or diners!
Dominic, Prototypes more than likely did not have PULLMAN on the facia. However that never stopped toy train manufacturers. Photo shows an MTH 17" car made from molds very similar to the Williams 17" baggage cars. John in Lansing, ILL.
Next thing we will get is a Hudson with Pullman on the tender!
