ScaleTrains announces N autoracks

ScaleTrains.com announced in late January upcoming production of its Rivet Counter N-scale Greenbrier-Gunderson Multi-Max Autorack in eight road names.

With several thousand auto carriers built for nearly all North American Class One railroads since 2014, the Greenbrier/Gunderson Multi-Max Autorack has become the premier auto carrier design of the 21st century. Many wear colorful paint schemes and feature large logos which help them stand out alongside older autorack designs.

The cars are fully assembled and include multiple road numbers, railroad and road number specific details, four body types (early, intermediate, late, and current), car rack numbers and ARR rack clearance data is specific to each car number, factory-applied metal grab irons, coupler cut levers, and trainline hoses; ASF low deck swing motion trucks and body mounted couplers.

Road names and paint schemes include BNSF, Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, CSX, Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern, Soo Line (CP) and Union Pacific.

Models are expected this summer.
