TTX leasing (originally known as the Train Trailer Company) is owned by many
major railroads and hires out its cars for use all across North America. TTX has
over 210,000 rail cars in service, 92-94% of which are in use on any given day,
making this MAXI-IV unit a common sight on any railroad.
Prototype Information:
Intermodal container service is one of the most
popular types of freight service on rails today. The Maxi-IV car is
the mainstay of the U.S. domestic double-stack car fleet. Providing an
optimum balance between tare weight and capacity, the Gunderson
MAXI-IV is a 3-unit articulated double-stack car that can handle
containers from 20-foot to 53-foot long in the well and containers
40-foot to 57-foot in the top, or double-stacked, position. As of a
result of its versatility and sturdy construction, the MAXI-IV is now
the mainstay of the U.S. domestic double-stack fleet. The popularity
of this car on North American rails is underscored by its popularity
with model railroaders today!
Model Information:
The powerful appearance of this articulated car
will be achieved using a metal injection-molded frame, enhanced by the
extensive detail of piping and patterned running boards. Like the
prototype, the model will feature two different sized wheels! The two
end trucks will have 33” scale wheels while the two middle trucks will
have 38” scale wheels. (This is done on the prototype for weight
bearing reasons, with the greater weight of the load being borne by
the wheels of the mid-car trucks than by the wheels of the trucks on
each end.)
Model Features:
- Provides stable operation with or without
container loads due to Kato’s new innovative heavier material steel
compound plastic used for the construction of the well car
- Each container has a magnet and a metal plate to
hold it securely to the well car bottom or to the top of the lower
Kato container
- Shock absorber construction provides smooth and
stable operation, with or without the container loads. The KATO
Kinematic trucks will maintain the prototypical appearance on
straight track while delivering smooth operation on curved track
- Each set includes six removable 53-foot
containers, all of which are interchangeable with other Kato
Gunderson Well Cars.
- Our packaging is designed for the separated
storage of the articulated unit, providing ease and security when
not in use
