The prototype: PKP Cargo Simms-type coil transport car

The Polish State Railways (PKP) initially acquired, among other things, the old “Thyssen” cars for its coil transport operations and classified them under the Simms designation. These 6-axle heavy-duty transport cars were used specifically for transporting coils (steel rolls). As demand for coil transport increased, new cars were later converted from various two-axle cars or built from scratch to meet the requirements of modern freight transport.
