The Kato Gunderson MAXI-IV Double Stack Car 3-Unit Set with BNSF Original Logo #253770 and Hub Containers is a ready-to-run model based on Gunderson MAXI-IV three-unit well cars used throughout the US domestic double-stack car fleet. Designed for realistic model railroad operation, this set combines detailed construction, authentic decoration, appropriate trucks, metal wheels, and Kato magnetic knuckle couplers. Each three-unit well car platform includes a pair of 53' containers, providing six removable 53' containers across the complete set.
Prototype and Model Details
The Kato Gunderson MAXI-IV Double Stack Car 3-Unit Set represents three-unit well cars designed to provide an effective balance between tare weight and container capacity. The prototype-style cars can accommodate containers from 20' to 53' in the well and containers from 40' to 57' long on top.
The detailed bodies and authentic BNSF Original Logo decoration help recreate the appearance of modern double-stack freight equipment. The set is designed for modelers who want to add realistic intermodal equipment to their freight trains and layouts.
Model Features
The Kato Gunderson MAXI-IV Double Stack Car 3-Unit Set includes six removable 53' containers, with magnets and metal plates designed to hold the containers securely in the well car or on top of another Kato container. This feature provides stability while the model is operating on the layout and also allows modelers to create different container configurations.
The heavier steel compound plastic construction contributes to stable operation with or without container loads. Shock absorber construction is designed to support smooth operation, while KATO Kinematic trucks maintain a prototypical appearance on straight track and provide smooth performance through curved sections.
For model railroaders building realistic intermodal freight trains, the Kato Gunderson MAXI-IV Double Stack Car 3-Unit Set provides detailed equipment, removable containers, authentic decoration, and operating features in one ready-to-run package.
