It would be nice if MTH actually cracked a book - or took a few moments to
look on line to name their cars. Why use Silver Coyote (a correct name),
then use Vista, Mist & Spring none of which are correct? At least Falls &
Cafe are correct. Silver Blade isn't and didn't exist (but then, neither
did Silver Mist or Silver Spring - and Silver Vista was a Dome Obs for the
TZ).
If they are going to go to the trouble of calling them CZ cars, they could
try to get more of the names right - let alone the types. No reflection on
your note at all - I just don't understand why manufacturers can't spend
more than a couple of seconds to find this information.
