My Nat Ltd will be a decent build-out approximation. Those purchasing the Cap Ltd will have an Accurate consist of proper type cars with correct names. The Cap consist is quite eclectic as the B&O did not order everything at once and used different sources. Add in the other road cars - thru sleepers and you will have a Remarkable consist.
For my Nat Ltd, I will use the leased MP 5BR-Lounge (in Eagle paint) as it’s “observation car”. I will mount a B&O drumhead on the tail. This IS prototypical. I’ve a picture of this - I was quite surprised to find this. Building your own consist can be quite a bit of fun - and my build-out consist will be  
unique !!!! 😜

Cheers 😉

Yup, Santiago did this build up for his Exposition Flyer and I'm doing it for my Overland.  From Union Station build it yourself to Wasatch brass, very eclectic.
