Texas Northern Model Railroad Club Announces Exclusive MKT Autorack

To kick off our building fund campaign, the Texas Northern Model Railroad Club is commissioning an exclusive production run of an HO scale bi-level enclosed auto rack by Intermountain Railway Co. This particular car has never been produced in this road and paint scheme. The club has spent countless hours researching and collaborating with Katy fans on this car. We've even matched specific car and racks numbers for the most authentic model possible. Cars will be sold individually or in a set including all six different car numbers, limited to 50 of each number (total run of 300). Available car/rack numbers:

Car # TTGX 254255, Rack # MKT T33
Car # TTGX 254413, Rack # MKT T117
Car # TTGX 255351, Rack # MKT T135
Car # TTGX 255839, Rack # MKT T101
Car # TTGX 256020, Rack # MKT T103
