Doug and RT, Good to hear from ya. I like them but would sure like to know for sure if they will fit. As you may know I have not been around another place, not of my doing but got caught up in something and well. You know. Still working the hobby!
I will let you know if they fit once I find a cheap price set so I won't want to go nuts if they don't fit. I have the TTUX flatcar set with Southern, Sealand, and Conrail trailers and they fit fine, Just thought the Maxi-Stacks would look good on the same train.
Take care.

Kevin soulds like it will but it will be close just like my atlas boxcars thru my tunnels there's about 1/4" clearence but sure looks great going threw and coming out.

These cars look very nice.

Sounds like they may be okay, The tunnel is 5.25” from the rail to the top of the opening.
Guess I will try one.
Thanks guys,
Well I hope someone has one and can help. I sure like them but need to know first. no big deal, just out here in the sticks, not many places to look at stuff.
While I don't have any at the moment I know they are lower than the railking stack cars which are 5 1/16" from top of railhead. Hope this helps.
I guess no one on the forum has one to measure. I don't either; but maybe this will help: Prototype double-stacks are 20'2" high, which scales to 5.042 inches in 1/48. So, even if Lionel made the car fully to scale, it shouldn't be any higher than that.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how tall the Lionel Maxi-Stack Car height is from top of rail to top of car? I would like to know if they will fit through the tunnel before I go for some. Tks, Kev.
