Are the 18" green heavy weights Madison or Pullman?  Do them come as a set?

Madison is a made up name for heavyweights based on the early maroon heavyweights Lionel made in the pre war and post war era. Pullman made both heavyweight and streamline cars.

The Green 20" Century heavyweights are lettered for NYC and Pullman just like the prototype. In general sleepers and observation cars were Pullman. Baggage cars and diners lettered for the parent road, in this case NYC.
