I always liked taking an occasional trip to Duluth's Canadian sister city as Thunder Bay seemed both familiar and exotic relative to the Twin Ports. I wasn't one to take many slides of rolling stock but this 40-ft grain loading boxcar caught my eye. The stencil says not for interchange - Churchill and Thunder Bay grain service only. They kept a number of these cars in service for lines with light load limits.

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Etowah, TN in March 1977
On March 20, 1977 Dad shot Minnesota, Dakota & Western boxcar 10027 in the L&N yard at Etowah, TN. MD&W is a northern Minnesota shortline still operating today.
in 1963, the CB&Q Havelock Shop built 300 XM4 boxcars, 47500-47799. The last 10 were built with Transco side sheathing.
I had often wondered how to go about building one of these unique cars until Kurt Kruse, as a great modeling gift (or perhaps as a mean trick) had sides 3D printed for this car.
It was still something of a challenge to build. In addition to the resin sides, it uses Branchline ends and roof, Accurail underframe, Plano roofwalk and brake platform, some DA freight car detail parts and a bunch of bits fabricated from styrene. Painted with Model Master insignia red and my galvanized mix. Decals came from a bunch of sets including Microscale and some Modeler's Choice leftovers.
