N Auto-Max Carrier KCS #8154 (ATH24746)

The N Auto-Max Carrier is a detailed model of Gunderson's Auto-Max articulated auto rack, designed to haul vehicles on modern freight trains. This replica recreates the distinctive three-rack interior and the long, tall silhouette of the prototype, capable of carrying up to 22 SUVs on internal ramps.

Fidelity features include separately applied brake wheels and detailed brake components, a simulated corrugated roof, full articulation with a flexible diaphragm, safety striping, screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels, and a weighted body for smooth, dependable running, plus McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded shell. It is compatible with Code 55 and Code 80 rail and requires a minimum 15-inch radius for reliable curves. The Auto-Max design was introduced by Gunderson in 1999, and this model captures its imposing, vehicle-hauling presence for realistic modern freight layouts.
