Hi all. I'm just curious why Modelers Choice kit #150007
http://modelerschoice.com/freightcars/kits/150007.htm
is listed as good for CBQ XM4 series 47500-47799, but not the
subsequent series 47800-48199 and 48200-48299 (classified as XM4As).
Cars from the later series look identical in sides, ends, and
lettering in photos I've examined (all XMs) and dimensionally are
identical (ORER data), but of course I can't see the roofs or
underbodies. Also I note that in my July 1969 ORER cars from
47500-478299 aggregated into a single listing. I guess this question
boils down to whether anything external separates XM4 from XM4A boxcars.
I'm very impressed with how this kit builds by the way--on the home
stretch on one I'm going to paint pre-BN green ca 1969, and starting
to consider numbering it. Thanks for any info offered....
