As many of your know the first run of Deluxes TTX Maxi Stack III was sold out even before they arrived. Deluxe will produce a third and fouth road number soon. We have already taken more pre-orders on these than the first two road numbers. We all know how important and plentiful these TTX cars are on modern day layouts. No matter what road you do we all can't seem to get enough TTX stuff. So here images of whats coming:
"Gunderson Maxi-Stack III 5-unit Articulated Container Car As many of you know TTX also has well cars with "Trailer Train" printed across the side. These two numbers should also sell out quickly. So get your orders in PDQ. Here is a artists drawing of the graphics. Pictures will follow later in the year.

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.
