At the behest of Chrysler Motor Company, which sought to load its popular minivans onto all three decks of a trilevel auto carrier, orders were soon placed by ten different member railroads of Trailer Train for a trilevel car that stood a full 14 inches taller than prior cars, matching the maximum allowed height of a loaded intermodal double-stack car. Given TTQX reporting marks, this new auto rack design stood a full 20 feet and two inches above the rail. By the 2010s, these 1,090 cars were eventually retired or converted back to standard 19’0” height auto racks.

Arriving soon from Class One Model Works are highly detailed replicas of these 20’2” TTQX Autoracks in four different body styles.  These models feature etched see-through body side panels, separately applied grab irons, full brake rigging and much more mounted onto two different flatcar types – PLH10W and F89CHW.

Road names for the initial release include Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern, Norfolk Southern, CSXT, Conrail, BNSF, Southern Pacific, Florida East Coast, and Chicago & North Western.  $99.99 each. Multiple road numbers per road name. Arriving shortly. Order direct.
