InterMountain 50' Frisco box car

[twforeman]

Just finished building this one. I like the InterMountain kits, but they do have some fragile parts.




I need to come up with a name for "Business 1" I think it's going to be an auto parts distributor...

Nice boxcar!
As for a business name how about Vandalay Industries, makers of fine latex and latex products?

Nice car, TOM!

A wonderful modelling effort. Well done!
Seems like a good time to ask. Who is the decal maker? Also, what does the 'XM' in the lower corner of the car stand for? I see that quite often, and don't know what it means. Thanks!

That's an AAR ( Association of American Railroads) code for a general service boxcar.
See this for a more complete listing.
AAR freight car codes
or this.
AAR freight car codes II

Thanks for that, Willie. One only need ask!

Thanks. It came pre-painted and lettered from InterMountain.
