In prototype form, the Auto-Max carries up to 22 SUVs on three internal ramps and measures over 140 feet long and about 20 feet tall from the rail, making it a dramatic centerpiece in modern railroading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThis model captures the car’s rugged realism with separately applied ladders, brake rigging, stirrups, and handbrake details, a simulated corrugated roof, and full articulation through a flexible diaphragm. It rides on 70-ton roller bearing trucks with 33-inch machined metal wheels featuring RP25 contours and is weighted for smooth operation. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide authentic handling, while a highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration. The minimum radius is 22 inches, ensuring reliable performance on standard HO layouts. The Auto-Max concept—first introduced by Gunderson in 1999—sought to transport up to 22 SUVs on three internal ramps, a hallmark of modern intermodal capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608583290932,"sku":"ATH96244","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH96244.jpg?v=1774291994","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath96244","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
