$52 at Hogtrainz....


Wonder if Ebay prices will adjust?

Sure seems like there are more than normal listed on eBay right now.

A similar quality, low-deck tri-level rack would be most welcome....

These look amazing with the etched panels, but I think there's also room in the market for someone to do a "decent" economy version.... like the old Walthers HO scale ones (why oh god why don't they re-run that? not that I need racks for my railroad, but the market needs a good economy version that hasn't been sold out for 20 years...)

I spotted some bi-levels in that train. Most autorack trains feature a mix.

Should be interesting to try to get body-mounted couplers onto those  :scared:

MTL #2004 couplers mount quite nicely.

I own gobs of Con Cor's "not quite good enough" auto racks in N scale. Even those are getting pricey on eBay these days, but not at the levels the old Red Cabboose ones go for.

$52 at Hogtrainz isnt' a bad street price considering street on MT auto racks is mid $40s and they do not have etched panels.

Those aren't etched panels on the MT rack? I know they have that solid, semi-clear core but I thought there were etched panels over that. Need to go look at the one I have.
