Class One Model Works (FC00634) | Thrall 20-2 Autorack Type B | Union Pacific TTQX #802026 | HO Scale

Modern railroading doesn’t move without autoracks—and this one does it right.

The Thrall 20-2 Autorack represents a staple of today’s freight operations, and in BNSF paint, it’s right at home on just about any contemporary layout. Whether you’re running intermodal-heavy traffic or building out a full manifest consist, autoracks like these add instant realism and visual impact.

But this isn’t just another autorack.

Class One Model Works has taken this common prototype and elevated it with an uncommon level of detail. From the intricate side panels and end cages to the crisp BNSF lettering and road-specific execution, this model is built to hold up under close inspection—not just pass-by viewing.

Yes, it sits at a higher price point—and that’s because it’s built differently. These are limited-run, craftsmanship-driven models designed for modelers who care about accuracy, finish, and getting the details right.

And like the prototype, they don’t stay around long.

About the Prototype – Union Pacific Autoracks

When it comes to moving automobiles across the country, Union Pacific does it at scale—and autoracks are at the heart of that operation. From coast-to-coast routes to major Midwest hubs, UP autorack trains are a familiar sight, often running in long, uninterrupted consists.

The Thrall 20-2 Autorack (Type C) represents the modern backbone of that service—built for efficiency, durability, and the demands of cross-country transport. For Union Pacific modelers, it’s more than just another freight car—it’s a key piece of what makes a modern UP consist feel complete.

The Bottom Line

If you’re building a modern-era train, autoracks are essential—but not all models are created equal. This is the kind of piece that turns a good consist into a great one.
