What are those aluminum sided cars called? And who makes them. I've seen them on the real RR and have been interested in getting some. Also would be helpful to know what they haul in them and how long the real RR have been using them (so I pull them with appropriate era engines.

Thanks,

Lionel calls them 'Auto Racks'

Thanks Brent,

Wow, Pricey by my standards.

Catalogue says: 

• Self-adjusting couplers allow for operation on tighter curve layouts

and says

Minimum Curve: O-54

So I'm wondering what the true minimum curve is;  O-54 or less? probably would not run on my 031, but it would be good to know, should I come across them used sometime.

Runtime,

Minimum Curve: O-54

So it would need to be no less than 0-54. 0-54 or larger. They will not run on 0-31

Hope this helps.
