[CBQ] XM-32B details

["mumpseee" <eric.mumper@gmail.com>]

Group,

Just working through some freight car detailing projects and have started some 
XM-32B kits from Branchline.  The outstanding Burlington Bulletin 7 shows they 
nailed the major aspects of the details with the correct doors/ends/ladders 
although it appears the number range they chose (17000-17799) rode on ASF A-3 
trucks instead of the included Barber S-2 which would have been good for 
17800-18399.  Just for completeness I have a couple of questions:

1.  Were the trucks painted mineral red or black originally?
2.  Were all the running boards Apex?  or another type?
3.  Has any more information about brake gear types vs. number series come to 
light?  Pretty sure I cannot go wrong with the included Ajax set, but I would 
like to ask anyway.

Eventually I will move on to the Intermountain cars for the early XM-32 so if 
an answer to #3 can cover these as well it would be appreciated.  Thank you.
