Looking for GA drawings for 1923 XM-1 boxcar.

Charlie Duckworth
 

Tried a google search and all I got back was the Abrams tank images.  

Started on the F&C L&N XM-1 boxcar but his instructions leave a little to much to the modeler’s imagination.  Found I’d squirreled away a Speedwitch decal set for this kit too.

I haven’t bought an F&C boxcar for a while and picked the One piece body kit at RPM.  It’s nicely made but decals are poorly printed.  

thanks,

Charlie did you mean L&NW ?? Wouldn't this be too modern for you ?

Speedwich Media's Prototype Railroad Profile #1 covers the L&N A.R.A. cars. It is similar to Ted's Essential Freight Car articles in RMC in scope and modeling tips.

RPC18 covered the XM-1. Plenty of L&N photos including a real nice B end shot. One photo of a GA car. Or if by GA you mean General Arrangement drawing, those are included too.

thanks but the L&N Xm-1 has Murphy ends.  I just need a good image of the B end.  I don’t have RPC18…unfortunately.
