HO F89F Bi-Level Auto Rack Legendary Liveries ROCK (ATHG-1783)

HO scale F89F Bi-Level Auto Rack in Legendary Liveries—ROCK edition is a detailed HO-model designed to faithfully reproduce a classic Whitehead & Kales bi-level auto rack for display and operation on model railroad layouts. Part of the Legendary Liveries program from Athearn, this scheme offers a collectible, historically inspired look that suits prototyping, proto-freelancing, or adding distinctive flavor to any roster.

Inside, the model features a die-cast underframe, wire-formed brake plumbing, and a highly detailed injection-molded body with authentic painting and printing. It rides on 70-ton roller bearing trucks with rotating caps and machined RP25 wheels for smooth running on most popular tracks. Body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers ensure reliable connections, while components such as end bridge plates (where applicable), wire grab irons, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and a realistic deck and ride height enhance the prototype look. Prototypical details include undulating safety railing, early and late train-line variations, and a separately applied hand brake. The minimum turning radius is 22 inches, with 24 inches or larger recommended for optimal operation.
