I was thinking about asking Maerklin how much it would cost to do a run of say 100 sets of two Sgns cars (like 47070) of Hupac. I thought it would be nice for one car to have two tank containers. I thought that one from Rinnen and one from Bertschi would be pretty typical. The other car could have either a 45ft container of Unit 45, Ge-Ex or other company frequently seen on Swiss rails. The motivation for this is the fact that Maerklin has to date only released a single model which included a Hupac Sgns and that was the 47081 VOS Logistics set from a few years back. (47081: http://www.laborsadeltre...marklin%2047081.1.1.jpg)

Many of us have the 47441/47444/47449/47453/47456 Hupac Einheitstaschenwagen and the Sgns would complement those cars in a consist very nicely.

The other possibility would be to include only one Sgns car and make the second one in the set an Einheitstaschenwagen with a Mainsped trailer, as that is also a model that I have been wanting for a few years.

Would anybody else be interested in such a set?

If we can get this done, we can look at other possibilities for future models.

I would suggest you send an email to marklin with your configuration as a general suggestion.

As to actually doing it, they would need to get appropriate permission from the logo rights holders for the various loads you suggest to produce them. This may or may not be close to zero cost (i.e. just a case of having a piece of paper saying they have permission).

But marklin would be able to justify this for a general issue set.

No harm in writing, at least it shows some interest in the product.
