Prototype: The articulated wagon known as TWIN I was the answer from wagon rental company AAE to the question of the greatest possible flexibility in combined freight transport. The 34 m long wagons can accommodate 40 and 20 foot containers, but also cranable semi-trailers. Thanks to the particularly deep-drawn tubs, the six-axle vehicles are even suitable for loading with modern mega-trailers, in contrast to their predecessors. To fix the semi-trailers, the wagons have support frames at the ends. These remain on the wagon even if the next tour takes place with containers. The support beams for container transport are also always on board and are stored above the middle bogie when not in use. Compared to the disc-braked versions, the block-braked car has a payload that is three tons higher. The maximum permitted speed is 120 when empty and 100 km / h when loaded, regardless of the route class. The wagons are also used mixed with other types of combined cargo transport. The doors of the containers can be opened and reveal the detailed interior.
ESU has existed for over 25 years and is only known to most model railroaders because of its innovative digital technology (decoder and system control), but since 2012 also because of suitable, innovative and realistic implementations of locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars.
The digital center ECoS, LokPilot 5, LokSound 5 and the Nano decoders are the distance horses in the ESU range. Modellbahn Union also cooperates very closely with ESU and has already had exclusive sound models implemented for its own products as well as remaining stock. At the same time, further exclusive models in the rolling area are sought, as well as close cooperation in the implementation of Modellbahn Union's own products.
