The Gunderson 53’ single-unit doublestack well car is the latest iteration of the famous Husky-Stack and every intermodal train includes at least three or four cars of this type. The 74ft long (over strikers) Gunderson 53' Husky-Stack car can carry 20′ to 53′ containers in the well with containers from 40′ to 53′ in the top position. Over 2,600 were built for the TTX Company (DTTX) and Canadian Pacific (CP) and they are seen all over the USA and Canada. We are also releasing the car painted in the new TTX ‘Forward Thinking’ livery given to the almost identical 48′ Husky-Stack cars extended to 53′ from 2009. 1,100 of these were reworked by Gunderson between 2009-2010.

Each model well car comes with two radomly selected 53’ high-cube containers The 53’ container introduces a new design never before offered in quality form in HO Scale. The insulated dry boxes are ubiquitous in intermodal trains and are used by Canadian National, Canadian Pacific and a huge number of transportation companies. They are also seen throughout the US Midwest and as far south as New Orleans.
