Were these cars solid pullman green or did they have black roofs and green bodys ?
TIA
Pullman Green black roof judging by the documentation of both the Spectrums and the Branchline Kits. (NAd the models themselves)
The C&OHS has begun selling heavyweight sleeping car kits lettered for The George Washington. These ho kits, made by Branchline Trains, are reasonably accurate for C&O use and as of this article models have become available for two of the styles of sleeping cars used on The George Washington, C&O’s premier train, between 1932 and 1950.
These cars were all painted Pullman green with gold lettering, however, they differed from the standard Pullman sleepers in that they had the name of the train at the center of the lettetboard where “PULLMAN” was usually placed, while the word “PULLMAN” was relocated to the end of the letterboard in small letters.
The Pullman Company normally lettered its cats ((Slip of the Fruedian tongue? :FW) in s standardized fashion so that they could be interchanged and routed in any train in the United States with some uniformity, but there were some “name trains” to which specific cars were assigned on a regular basis, and C&O’s George Washington was one of these.

Adendum: some of the photos on the C&O site show a more modern George Washington riding behind E units in the blue/grey/yellow on heavyweight equipment, seemingly converted to stresmliner status. but you don’t want to know that. All the pictures I can find of the Mountain era Georgey is Black/White.
