Completed three more 50's. First XMd 115868 I used the picture on page 79 of Bosslers book as a reference.
Side one

Side two


I added a second XMLd 19356. Accordind to info provided by Bossler's book these units were numbered 19350/399. I chose 356 but had no picture references of the prototype. I also removed the doors to apply the "D" decal.

Side two


The third unit is from class XMLc 19312 I used the prototype picture found on page 82 of Bossler's book as a reference
Side one
