Narrow Gauge Lover said: Thanks for reply. I’ve seen auto carriers . . but never like this.

Fairly common around here. This video has a few of them in the consist and was shot outside of Hershey Pa (yes the chocolate) working the old (and very busy) Reading line to Philadelphia

Not a bad read and sorry I can’t, cannot fix this thread as it is not mine.

Thanks for the vid Rooster.

I’m curious about the articulated car, anyone have a pic of what NGL originally posted about?

The original design was to haul SUV’s… It has 3 levels, Middle level flooring at the ends of the cars raise and lower, to allow loading 3 SUV’s in the bottom of the car… 4 more on the second and 3rd level for a total of 11 SUV’s in each car section… The total articulated set would haul 22 SUV’s…

Blueprints were printed out in one of the model magazines in HO scale, way back when the magazines would print the blueprints of the cars and locomotives…

Above picture was the one I scratch-built many years ago…

Edited to add the picture.

Cliff,

I’m not sure but I don’t think it was older stuff meaning older than Dad as he done shot his mouth off here like he usually does!
