Comments

Era Vc!

Some side stakes not too glued can be laid down.

The buffers can get caught with those of Y 7100 shunter.

The swap body, unlike the ISO container, cannot be transported by sea and is not stackable, at least under load. On the other hand, it is wider and allows storing two standard European pallets side by side (2 × 1.2 m).

Modifications

Containers, a 20-foot Medtainer and a 40-foot Lesage, are ballasted and glued with Kristal Klear.

History

According to Pierre Barbe and Kiki51100 on the Loco-Revue Forum, the S6A or S6B type of the CNC fleet is an ex-Sgss 60.6 of the SNCF fleet, originally ex-Sgss 6.16 (before 1980).

Construction in two series, with sub-series having small construction differences (types of slip dampers in particular):

  • 31 87 457 0 000 to 0 999 (1000 units) from 1971 to 1972
  • 31 87 457 1 000 to 1 999 (1000 units) from 1981 to 1982.

300 wagons were also delivered to the NMBS (Belgium) in 1971.

Main characteristics: useful surface 47,2 m2; tare 22 t; payload 58 t. Bogies Y25 Css.

The LS Models wagon is therefore of the 2nd series. The document published by Snoopy3316 on the Loco-Revue forum indicates that this type of wagon can be used for transport other than containers, hence the presence of stakes; but the transported products are not specified. One can imagine all that is transportable by an R8: metal profiles, pipes, etc. But, according to other members of the forum, these wagons were exclusively used to container transport.
