I think for the XM-32 (40') you meant the IM 10-panel boxcar, not the 12-panel.

The Intermountain XM-32 was their 12 panel boxcar. I used the Red Caboose roof, as it has much better tooling. The tabs are wrong for Q practice, so I carved the correct profile and did a few other upgrades to bring it up to Q practice. I bought three undecorated kits.

The P2K XM-33 is the stock Walthers 50 ft.12 panel boxcar kit with an 8 ft. door. The model is spot on for a Q XM-33 without modification. I use Allied trucks from Athearn. I bought four SP kits online at $15 each and stripped them.

Nelson:

Can you please be specific on which Intermountain and Walthers cars you started with?

Thanks- Dennis Popish
