Dave, the first several cars are Atlas O Gunderson Maxi-IV, loaded with Atlas O 53' containers. The last several sets of stacks are custom built MTH 5-car articulated Gunderson stack sets, loaded with Atlas O 20' and 40' containers, with some 53's on top. All have Atlas O 2 rail trucks, Kadee 740 couplers.

Thanks also Dave and Steve for the comments!

I ran this one at the Open House last month. Each MTH 5-unit Gunderson Twin Stack car is a transition car (I haven't switched out the wheels yet) with a Kadee on one end and the hi-rail coupler on the other. This allows me to add unconverted hi-rail cars and my 89-foot trailer flats to the mix. Open House rules limit train length so I couldn't do it this time. The train is being pulled by a pair of scale-wheeled MTH CNW C40-8 "Narrow Nose" units.

Thanks. It took the two builders about 18 months to finish and has over 1500 nut-bolt-washer castings installed. The curve is 48" radius (O-96). Took about another year to finish off the area behind it. The towers behind are for a modern trestle and use steel angle stock in the construction. The cross members are Plastruct. We will eventually get around to ballasting the deck.
