Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

I'm guessing coal gon,  not a real new one though...

The red stripe is puzzling, but is probably a dead giveaway....

Appears to be aluminum, and those numbers look suspiciously UP-ish.

I vote this one. Kato loves them modern passenger equipment. Maybe they will make  some special editions for Amtrak to sell on their website, like that parlor car.

Interesting.  What is the source of the model photo?  Definitely an Amtrak auto rack, which is great for the legions of Auto-Train modellers.   :|

If they were willing to tool different sides (or just print vent holes, like the Athearn Auto-Max), it looks like they could also do a pretty good rendition of CNA and CP.
