Does any one in HO have an 89’ triple auto rack?
I’d love to have you take a photo with a ruler laying in from of it so I can get some idea of spacing for the supports.
I have lots of photos but no info.
Even better if I could find a web site with drawings , but measurements will work.
Hiegth also
thanks

There is a Yahoo Group dedicated to Auto Racks.

Get an Accurail kit and build it. I think the spacing on that kit would be very similar to other open rack cars. The Accurail kit is based on the Paragon rack. There were several other manufacturers of the racks.

I’ll have to check that one out.
I ended up going to the office place and they blew up the photo I had untill it measured 89’6" in HO scale.
Now I can just Xs it by 3 to get 1:29

Marty, I have a Bachman triple auto rack car. It holds 15 HO scale cars. Its about a foot long (aprox). If that is what your looking for I can take loads of pics for you and even put it on the scanner so you get a scale of the side frame. Just let me know if it’s what your looking for.

Hi Guys, I have the basic sizes and the vertical spacing, its the end details that is hard to see or figure out. Not sure how the doors open. Mine don’t have to, just need to look good.
