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.
I think, she is 'the model' that occurs most on my stream. She is a beggar at the old city of Jerusalem. She is selling old clothes, that I always wonder who would buy (especially, that people throw away good clothes all the time). Someone told me she is originally from Gazza and is lonely in JLM. Often, she can be rather aggressive. I think here you see the other side of the coin: her vulnerability.
