Description

This is Kato 106-6161 N Maxi-IV 53′ Stack Car 3pk TTX #732211 w/EMP Containers. 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. 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.

Its key features are:
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
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
Packaging designed for the separated storage of the articulated unit, providing ease and security when not in use
The January 2012 release of MAXI-IV well cars will have redesigned connectors to make them easier than ever to connect and disengage

Six removable 53-foot containers, all of which are interchangeable with Kato’s other container sets
