New guy here. Need help IDing a rail car I saw. Notice how they couple together with some kind of rubber boot.

Also need to know where I can buy it in HO scale.

They are Auto Max's - articulated autoracks. Athearn makes RTR of most of the RRs that run them. Odd Ball decals also makes decals for them. They used to run solid strings of them, but now run them w/ regular autoracks mixed in.
 
I have a pair of them that I bought at a train show 2 years ago for $20.00. I tried about everything I could to get them to go around a 24" curve. I even clipped the corners of the bodies, but, didn't work. Now, they are sitting in my yards as a trophy. LOl
