Märklin 00723 H0 12er Display Silowagen, DB und eva, Ep. IV

Märklin 00723 H0 12-piece display silo cars DB and EVA Era IV

The Märklin 00723 H0 12-piece display includes twelve type Ucs 908 two-axle silo cars that were used for both the German Federal Railroad (DB) and for the Eisenbahn-Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (EVA) in Era IV. These models are designed with great attention to detail and authentically aged to realistically represent the operating condition around 1988.

Prototype of the Ucs 908 silo car

The type Ucs 908 silo wagons were procured in the 1950s and 1960s to transport fine-grained and powdery products such as aluminum hydroxide, sodium sulfate, quartz sand, cement and foodstuffs such as sugar or salt. These goods required protection against moisture, which is why the wagons were equipped with special containers that had filling openings and unloading facilities. In total, over 1,000 of these wagons were built, each intended for a specific load. Over the years, many of these wagons were leased or sold to companies such as EVA.

The DB and EVA railroad companies in Era IV

In Era IV (1965-1990), the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) experienced a phase of modernization and restructuring. During this time, numerous freight wagons were modernized or sold or leased to private companies such as Eisenbahn-Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (EVA). EVA used these cars for the transportation of various bulk goods and thus contributed to the diversification of rail freight traffic.
