N Auto-Max Carrier BNSF Model (ATH24748)

This N-scale BNSF Auto-Max Carrier is a faithful reproduction of Gunderson's articulated auto rack car, designed to haul up to 22 SUVs on three internal ramps. The model captures the Auto-Max’s tall, multi‑level silhouette and distinctive detailing, making it a striking centerpiece for any modern freight layout.

Details include separately applied brake wheel components, a realistically corrugated roof, and full articulation with a flexible diaphragm for smooth tracking through curves. Safety striping, screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels, and a weighted body all contribute to authentic handling and reliable operation. McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical coupling action, while a highly detailed injection-molded body completes the look. The model runs on Code 55 and Code 80 track with a minimum curve radius of 15 inches, ensuring compatibility with most N-scale layouts. The Auto-Max concept was introduced by Gunderson in 1999, a long-running design built to carry 22 SUVs on three ramps and push the boundaries of railcar engineering.
