Bob,
 
Jerry Hamsmith sells an excellent XM-32 decal sheet (among many others) that can cover both the freight and express cars.  I hope he will be at the Q Spring Meet next week.  I need some of his other sets.
 
I also need to pick up additional Intermountain 40899 undecorated 40' 6" AAR kits. They are out of stock at Intermountain and I can't find anymore on the internet (I recently bought two from Canada.)  If anyone has any they would want to sell, I'd be interested.  I prefer starting with my own undecorated kit and painting rather than trying to glue parts onto a pre-decorated kit.  The old eyes ain't what they used to be - even with an Optivisor!

Rich, somewhere around here I have the same cars, and I had decals made.  I got trucks from Athearn - haven't tried them out yet.   I think I have a 4-pack of the cars in red too that I have to find a homefor.

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.
