Roco 6600159 – 2-piece set: Tarpaulin wall wagons type Shimmns, CD Cargo

Expand your model railway layout's freight division with an absolute classic from Central European tracks. This finely detailed 2-piece set of 4-axle tarpaulin wall wagons, type Shimmns, in H0 scale (1:87) by Roco, perfectly replicates the prominent rolling stock of the Czech state freight operator CD Cargo in modern Era VI.

Wagons of the Shimmns type feature a flexible protective tarpaulin cover specifically engineered for the fast and secure transport of heavy, moisture-sensitive steel coils. In real-world operations, these wagons are a daily sight forming long block trains or mixed manifest freight runs moving between industrial hubs across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and international corridors. The set includes two separate wagons with unique, individual running numbers to ensure a prototypical appearance without duplicates on your tracks.

Key Features and Technical Highlights:
• Prototypical Central European Design: Authentic corporate blue livery of CD Cargo featuring razor-sharp technical lettering, logos, and markings according to the prototype.
• Two-Wagon Package: Includes two individual tarpaulin wall wagons, each carrying a unique running number.
• Exquisite Precision: Meticulously molded wagon body with realistic tarpaulin texture and folds, highly accurate Y25-type bogies, and detailed underframe components.
• Smooth Track Performance: Precision-engineered wheelsets and balanced weight distribution guarantee superb track holding and reliable running characteristics in long freight formations.
• Coupler System: Integrated NEM 362 pocket equipped with close coupling kinematics.
• System Versatility: Ready for standard 2-rail DC layouts, with optional AC wheelsets available separately for 3-rail systems (Roco item no. 40196).

Whether integrated into a dedicated manifest steel run or mixed with other contemporary European rolling stock, this Roco CD Cargo wagon set brings true structural variety and local authenticity to your modern era layout.
