The Fleischmann brand offers the Container wagon type Sgns, with 2 "Bell" containers, to scale N: 1/160th under reference 865243.
.Presentationof the container wagon:
The container wagon is used to transport goods. In addition to its chassis and traction components, these wagons can be fitted 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
Presentation of the manufacturer Fleischmann:
The model railway brand originating in Germany, Fleischmann was founded in 1887 by Jean Fleischmann. But it was in 1949 that the company created its first model train, which was designed in O scale: 1/45th. The company was subsequently acquired in 2008 by Modelleisenbahn GmbH.
In 2017, Fleischmann decided to specialise in the design of model railway products in N: 1/160th scale. From now on, the production of material in HO: 1/87th scale is reserved for the Roco brand, which currently belongs to the same group.
Like the Roco brand, the brand is characterised by their attention to detail, and the robustness of their products, which are designed from metallic materials. Their products are as close to the real thing as possible, and for some (the Digitales Sound models) offer very well-reproduced sound effects.
The brand also offers railway accessories (spare parts, tyres, couplers, etc.) and digital modules (analogue controller, digital control unit, digital remote control, etc.).
