By 1997, the growing number of 53' domestic containers was outstripping the "upper" positions on 48' container cars and a solution was needed. The answer was the Gunderson Maxi-Stack IV. Similar in appearance to the Max-III, this car has three 53' wells instead of five 48' wells. The side sills are also heavier to support the extra length. As you can see, Maxi-IVs are not restricted to carrying 53' containers. In fact, they are just as often found carrying international boxes in "land bridge" trains.

This N scale model feature die-cast metal wells with plastic and etched metal detail, crisp painting and sharp lettering. They will come with the new BLMA trucks with metal wheels. The end trucks will be the 70 ton version and intermediate trucks will be the 100 ton version. These 3-unit articulated sets come fully assembled, ready-to-run with body-mounted knuckle couplers, and will sit at a protypical height above the rail.

And with these cars, modelers will also need containers. So check out the 40 ft. Dual Logo Panels coming in shortly from Deluxe.

Deluxe has several popular road names on the way that are sure to fit right in on your layout.

Expected Release:

November 2012 - January 2013
