89' Thrall Enclosed Tri-Level Auto Carrier - Ready to Run -- Norfolk Southern Rack ETTX Flat #33565/810116 (yellow, silver, black)

Over half of all new autos make their first long trip by train, riding in enclosed tri-level auto rack cars like these WalthersProto(R) models! Introduced in the mid-1970s specially to carry automobiles, the prototypes consist of an enclosed rack with three decks. As some of the tallest cars in service, the racks are mounted on low-level 89' flatcars with side sill cut-outs and 28" wheels for added clearance. In service all across North America, the racks carry the owner's logos, and most ride on flatcars leased from TTX with ETTX reporting marks. A key part of Walther’s Auto Series, these highly detailed and fully assembled HO models feature:

• Limited edition - one time run of these numbers!

• Prototypes in service from the 1970s to the present

• Factory-installed grab irons

• Separately molded and applied side ladders

• Ultra-smooth rolling metal axles with correct 28" wheels

• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers

 

PLEASE NOTE: As the Walther’s Auto Rack is the correct prototype length, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
