Details

Add modern private-sector freight realism to your layout with the Roco 6600226 NACCO Schiebeplanenwagen set, a finely detailed H0 gauge (1:87) model featuring two Shimmns-type sliding tarpaulin wagons operated by NACCO (a major European wagon lessor).

These wagons are designed for the weather-protected transport of sensitive industrial cargo, including steel coils, paper rolls, timber products, and palletised goods. The sliding tarpaulin system allows fast loading and unloading while keeping freight fully protected from the elements, making them a key wagon type in modern Era VI European logistics chains.

With their crisp private-operator livery and highly detailed wagon bodies, this set represents the everyday reality of international freight traffic across Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and wider Europe, where leased wagons form the backbone of mixed goods services.
