Tri-level open racks were the workhorses of new-automobile transport from the 1960s onward, hauling three decks of cars cross-country with open sides that let modelers show off a load of vehicles. At nearly a scale 89 feet, it's one of the longest and most eye-catching freight cars you can run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO rolling stock?
