HO F89F Bi-Level Auto Rack NP/BTTX (ATHG-1773)

An HO scale F89F Bi-Level Auto Rack in NP/BTTX livery, this ready-to-run model recreates the bi-level auto carrier used in intermodal service. It combines a die-cast underframe with a highly detailed injection-molded body and prototypical ride height to capture the look of the prototype. Accurate Whitehead and Kales auto rack detailing, end bridge plates where applicable, and separately applied grab irons, along with authentic color printing, deliver a convincing, display-worthy model for both show and operation.

On the rails, it rides on 70-ton roller bearing trucks with rotating bearing caps and uses machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth performance on most brands of track. The model features body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, a detailed deck, and authentic undulating safety railing, with options for early or late train-line configurations and per-prototype hand brakes. It is built for a 22-inch minimum radius, with 24 inches or larger recommended, making it suitable for a wide range of layouts.
