I got two of those Southern auto racks(with side shields), love the details on them and just add a few cars and its much cooler looking then the closed autoracks. I hope the hose detail will be a bit higher this time at both ends of the rack, as my 3% grades and switches just tear them apart on one of the racks. funny how the other rack is prefect. couplers a bit high on both of them. To bad no SP but that Rock in blue would be cool to mix in with my older ones.
