Would you like to expand your H0 model railroad with modern freight cars to create varied and internationally diverse freight trains? The Roco 2-Car Set of Shimmns-Class Sliding Tarpaulin Cars from Railrelease is a perfect addition to your model railroad collection. Both cars are designed for Era VI and reflect modern European rail freight transport. Since the prototypes are in service throughout Europe, the models can be flexibly integrated into contemporary freight train formations. Whether as an addition to an existing fleet or as a building block for a longer freight train—this set brings extra variety to your H0 tracks.

Modern Shimmns-class sliding-tarpaulin freight cars

Sliding-tarpaulin cars are designed to transport goods that need to be protected from the elements during transit. Their characteristic tarpaulin construction gives them a distinctive appearance and makes them interesting vehicles in modern freight transport.

The Roco model reproduces two Shimmns-class sliding-tarpaulin freight cars in the Railrelease version. Their classification as Era VI allows them to be used on modern model railroad layouts and offers numerous possibilities for assembling contemporary freight trains.

Ideal for freight cars used throughout Europe

A distinctive feature of the prototypes is their use throughout Europe. This makes the two cars ideal for freight trains with an international character. When combined with other sliding-tarpaulin cars, container cars, or other modern freight cars, they create a varied train formation typical of today’s rail freight transport.

Especially on longer freight trains, a variety of car types creates a dynamic appearance. The two Shimmns cars can be used together or combined with freight cars you already own. This allows you to flexibly expand your fleet and continually create new train formations.

Versatile Applications on Your Model Railroad Layout

Whether on a sprawling main line, passing through a freight yard, or near an industrial siding—the sliding-tarpaulin freight cars are a perfect fit for modern Era VI layouts. Paired with a suitable freight locomotive, they create a harmonious train formation for contemporary freight transport.

This two-car set is also an interesting choice for model railroaders who want to recreate block trains or expand their collection of modern freight cars. The cars offer versatile combination options and add two more examples of this freight car type to existing train formations.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The Roco car set is designed for H0 scale and intended for analog DC operation. The NEM 362 coupler mount with close-coupling kinematics allows for connection to compatible model railroads and facilitates the formation of harmonious trains.

The total length over buffers is 276 mm for both cars combined. This makes the set easy to incorporate into the planning of freight trains of varying lengths. For use on an AC layout, a matching AC wheel set with part number 40196 is listed as an accessory. Please check compatibility with your existing track and wheel system before making any modifications.

A valuable addition to modern freight car collections

The Roco 2-car set is suitable for both active model railroaders and collectors of modern freight cars. The Railrelease design and the Europe-wide use of the prototypes make these cars particularly interesting for internationally composed freight trains.

By combining them with other Era VI cars, you can diversify your freight operations and recreate realistic transport trains on your layout. Whether as part of a block train or as an addition to a mixed freight train—this set offers you numerous design possibilities.
