I am not familiar with the XM3 designation, however we have several XM boxcars
at IRM, and they are in the members photo gallery.
The two 50 ft cars are

> Hello everyone,

> I'm working on a model of an XM-33 50ft AAR boxcar, series CBQ 21000-
> 21399, using the Proto 2000 single door boxcar. A prototype photo of

> I've been unable to find good photos showing the end ladders of these
> cars. A broadside shot of CBQ 21000 appeared in the 1943 Car Builder's
> Cyclopedia, and seems to suggest six or seven rung ladders, with a drop
> grab iron making up the seventh or eighth rung. Does anyone know if
> this is the case, or if the ends had eight rung ladders like the sides?

> Thanks,
