Prototype Information:
Intermodal Container service is one of the most popular types of
freight service on the rails today. The Maxi-IV car is the mainstay
of the U.S. domestic double-stack car fleet. TTX took delivery of
their first MAXI-IV's in 2000. Ongoing deliveries of this car have
put the total in service on the TTX roster in the thousands. They
can be seen on virtually any mainline railroad from coast to
coast.
The Maxi-IV design provies the optimum balance between tare weight
and capacity and have proven to be extremely reliable in service.
The Gunderson MAXI-IV is a 3-unit articulated double-stack car than
can handle containers from 20' to 53' long in the well and from 40'
to 57' in the top, or double-stacked position. As a result of its
versatility and sturdy construction, the MAXI-IV is now the
mainstay of the US double stack fleet.
Model Features:
This will be the first time the MAXI-IV has been made in N
Scale!
The model will feature a metal injection-molded frame for
improved
Ttraction coupled with extensive piping detail added.
Like the prototype, the model will feature 2 different sized

Each set will include 6 EMP indivually numbered 53' containers.
Packaging designed for the separated storage of the articulated
unit providing ease and security when not in use.
