What's the difference then between a LV 8300 and an LV 8100?   the 8100
cars are classed as X58's (X58L?) and I have shots of them numbered in an
entirely different CR series.   (Remember that the LV was a PC component
when these cars were built)...

Athearn offers their 50' OB plug door box decorated as a LV 8300 and once
as a PC/P&LE car in green.   is it accurate for any of these cars or just
looks close? I know the ribs are wrong for the 8300 cars.
