HO Auto-Max Carrier KCS #8154 (ATH96193)

HO Auto-Max Carrier is an HO-scale replica of Gunderson's Auto-Max articulated auto rack car, offered in Kansas City Southern (KCS) livery to enhance a modern freight roster. This model captures the prototype's imposing length and rugged silhouette, making it a striking centerpiece for a contemporary rail layout.

Realistic details include separately applied ladders, brake rigging, stirrups, and handbrake details, a simulated corrugated roof, and full articulation with a flexible diaphragm. It rolls on 70-ton roller bearing trucks and 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth, reliable running, with weight tuned for steady performance. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical coupling, while the injection-molded body is painted and decorated for authentic realism. A 22-inch minimum radius allows smooth operation on typical HO layouts.
