The Trix brand is offering the Sgns type container wagon, with 2 "coop"refrigerated containers, in N: 1/160th scale under reference 15491.
.Presentationof the container wagon:
The container wagon is used to transport goods. In addition to its chassis and traction components, these wagons can be equipped with stanchions and sideboards to support and retain heavy loads.
Invulnerable to the elements (rain, snow..) and equipped with a reinforced structure, these wagons were robust and could transport heavy goods (metal bars) or light goods in large quantities (straw under tarpaulin, insulating materials..).
Other specific wagons were subsequently created, such as:
- lowered flat wagons "wagons-chars": lowered chassis for loading large products
- container-carrying wagons "wagons squelettes": fitted with standardised fixing pins for transporting containers or swap bodies. Had a chassis that was as light as possible and made - solely of metal sections.
- log-carrying wagons: for transporting logs or logs
- sheet-carrying wagons: reinforced chassis for transporting thick, heavy sheet metal or foundry parts.
- chassis wagons: 45° inclined chassis for transporting wide parts
- moving crossbeam wagons: for transporting long products
Introduction to the Trix brand:
The manufacturer Trix designs miniature trains under the scale HO: 1/87th. These rolling stock are renowned for their robustness and their sense of detail that is as close as possible to the original models. Trix mainly produces motrices under a direct current, operating system called "2 rails". But most of their products are also designed under an alternative "3 rail" system by manufacturer Marklin.
