The telescopic hood wagon Shimmns 708 is being used for transporting steel coils. The wagon runs throughout Europe and can also be moved by railway ferry. Loading of the coils is being done by moving the hood parts. The wagon has been developed in the 1970s, and was produced in several editions. The cars are still in use today. Most cars were produced in the typical "freight wagon brown" livery, a lot of cars still show this colour today.

In order to allow a prototypical train configuration with several different car numbers we will release the car with different numbers. Each number is limited to a quantity of 300 pieces.

The first series will feature the following cars:
MU30000-A: 3180-4669622-1 (sold out ex factory)
