Kato USA Model Train Products AOK #55344 HO Gunderson MAXI-IV

Kato USA Model Train Products AOK #55344 HO Gunderson MAXI-IV Well Car 3-Unit Set
- Steel-plastic compound wells give heft and make operation possible even when running empty
- Articulated wells have easy-to-connect/disconnect clips which make transition from storage to operation and back a snap
- Compatible with any 53' or 40' Intermodal container
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. The powerful appearance of this articulated car is achieved using a metal injection-molded frame, enhanced by the extensive detail of piping and patterned running boards. Like the prototype, the model features two different sized wheels! The two end trucks have 33" scale wheels while the two middle trucks 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.).
