Model Railroading > Older Autoracks with sidesDate: 05/19/18 18:12 Older Autoracks with sides Author: Chad Is it my imagination or did a manufacturer announce older autoracks with the panel sides but open otherwise as in the picture?
 Date: 05/19/18 18:30 Re: Older Autoracks with sides Author: CSX602 Accurail has offered them for a few years in kit form (HO, 9400 series kits) and Athearn did some Southern ones in their Genesis line autoracks...
