I see Red Caboose announced new auto racks in multiple roads. I'm looking for some information, from those who own these cars. They are equipped with MT trucks and couplers. How well do these cars handle curves, turnouts and backing into sidings ? I'm considering the CN and CP cars. Are these paint schemes still current today ? Lastly, what is the prototypical length of these cars ? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Keith.
I have several, and the MT ones too. The Red Caboose ones are better then the MT ones. Detailing is awesome, and they run great. Cant comment on the backing issues because I have not backed them up, only pulled. Heres a shot of both versions on a train on my layout.....
