HO Auto-Max Carrier BNSF Large Circle Plastic Model (ATH96195)

HO-scale Auto-Max Carrier in BNSF large-circle livery is a highly detailed plastic model that reproduces Gunderson's Auto-Max articulated auto rack, designed to model the movement of SUVs on three internal ramps. The model features full articulation with a flexible diaphragm, along with separately applied ladders, brake rigging, stirrups, and handbrake details. It includes a simulated corrugated roof, safety striping, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers. Weighted for smooth, reliable operation and decorated with painted details, it also carries a minimum curve radius of 22 inches for use on standard HO layouts.

Prototype background: Introduced by Gunderson in 1999, the Auto-Max is a distinctive auto rack capable of carrying 22 SUVs on three internal ramps, measuring over 140 feet long and about 20 feet tall from the railhead. This HO model captures that scale and capability, making it a compelling addition for modern freight scenes on a model railroad.
