Description
HO-scale Auto-Max Carrier in BNSF wedge configuration livery is a faithful model of Gunderson’s Auto-Max articulated auto rack, a long, high-capacity railcar designed to haul vehicles on three internal ramps. This HO model captures the distinctive multi-level silhouette and rugged detailing, making it a striking centerpiece for modern freight operations on an HO layout.
Every detail is reproduced, from separately applied ladders, brake rigging, stirrups, and handbrake details to a corrugated roof and safety striping. The model features full articulation with a flexible diaphragm, 70-ton roller-bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weight-balanced chassis for steady, smooth operation. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and precise paint and printing add realism, while a minimum radius of 22 inches keeps the model negotiating typical HO curves with ease. Introduced by Gunderson in 1999, the Auto-Max is a high-capacity auto rack designed to carry vehicles on three internal ramps, and this model brings that operational versatility to life in miniature.
