Over half of all new autos make their first long trip by train, riding in enclosed tri-level auto rack cars like these WalthersProto(R) models!

In service all across North America, the racks carry the owner’s logos, and most ride on flatcars leased from TTX with ETTX reporting marks. A key part of Walthers Auto Series, these highly detailed and fully assembled HO models feature:
