Even when it was accessible, Tony Cook's site had very little on the roadnames of Life Like's passenger cars. I'm trying to put together a list (And collect the Canadian consists)
Based on searches online, here's what I have so far. I'd love to round this off. If any are Penn Line, let me know.
HEAVYWEIGHTS - Most Pullman Green, Exceptions noted - All sets consist of Combine, Diner, Coach, Sleeper and Observation
B&O - Pullman Green
Canadian National - Olive Green
Milwaukee - Orange and Maroon
NYC - Pullman Green
PRR - Pullman Green/Tuscan Red (I've seen both)
Pullman - Pullman Green
Reading - Two-Tone Green
Southern - Pullman Green
UPRR - Pullman Green
LL Circus - Yellow - Combine Only
STREAMLINED - Consist of Coach, Dome/Diner, Dome, Full Length Dome, Obs
Amtrak
AT&SF - 2 Variations - One all Silver, one with red window stripe
B&O - Dark blue letterboard
CNR - 2 Variations - Black letterboard/Silver Doors/small logo and Red Doors/Large Logo
CPR - Tuscan Red Letterboard/CANADIAN PACIFIC Lettering
CP Rail - Action Red Letterboard/CP RAIL lettering
C&NW - Green/Yellow
GO Transit - Coach Only
PRR - Tuscan Red Window Stripe
VIA Rail - Blue Letterboard
Any help with images or adding to this list would be greatly appreciated

Penn Line produced heavyweight tuscan PRR cars.
Penn Line and Varney produced streamline all silver ATSF cars.
Varney produced streamline yellow & green C&NW cars.

Many of those heavyweight sleepers were just lettered Pullman along with a name. Some of the names that I have seen are:
Lake Pearl
East Defiance
National Review
Chautauqua
Columbia Gorge
Also, some of these cars were sold in Scene Master boxes and it was not immediately apparent that they were made by Life Like.

I used to have at least one of the CP Rail cars. If I had more than one, they were all coaches. This is the only picture I could find.

This one is named, "Royal Arms." Everytime I see it I want to paste an "H" in there.
Life Like really did give Tyco a run for their money. I do rather enjoy the plain,
simplistic feel of the thing, and it tracks well.

I used to take the GO train in the '70's in and around Mississauga.
I seem to recall F units on point.

The Pacific Great Eastern in British Columbia had ex-Lehigh Valley 60-foot coaches that were very close to the Life-Like 60-foot heavyweight coach.
