I just finished building the Intermountain 40899 undecorated 10' 6" AAR 40' box into a CB&Q XM-32. The Intermountain kit reflects the pre-war XM-32 with the Youngstown/Camel corrugated door, two-piece Dreadnaught ends, and wooden roofwalks. This one will be painted in Pullman Green and get Allied Full Cushion trucks and Jerry Hamsmith express car decals. I'm also building a second one to represent the 30050 series painted in the Mineral Red freight scheme and also riding on Allied Full Cushion trucks.
I also just bought a Branchline Yardmaster XM-32 kit on eBay. These kits are supposed to represent the post-war XM-32s. They claim it is a 1950 built car. We'll see if it is correct when it arrives. The picture shows an improved Youngstown/Camel corrugated door. If it represents a 1950 build, it should have the improved Dreadnaught ends. I'm looking forward to getting it.
Needless to say, Burlington Bulletin #7 has been critical to figuring out what to do and what number/trucks combinations I can use. Firing up the airbrush tomorrow! I'm going to spray Scalecoat II for the first time tomorrow - using their Pullman Green.
