I recently took the plunge and decided to buy a Rocky Rail Sdggmrs container car. The model came with a T.T.S. and Samskip Van Dieren trailers. The model is labelled for AAE/TX Logistics.
I tested the car with a load consisting of a pair of Herpa Samskip and Hamburg-Sued 40 ft containers. They fit very well onto the car surface and do not interfere with the mounting fixations for the trailers.
Given the setup, I do not think that 45 ft containers can be used with these models.
There are representations for the moveable fixations to allow for the mounting of assorted containers, but they do not appear to be moveable. They sit in the bridge area between the two parts.

These seem to be useful cars, as they allow me to include 40 foot containers with sockets where most of my Maerklin cars require containers with pegs.
Piko has similar models, but I have not inspected how Piko's design allows for assorted loads.
Roco's new T-2000 can be used for trailers, but also can be used with containers using the Roco system with the transverse bar with central peg, which holds the container in place. Roco also includes mountable pegs, but I am not certain that those can be used to secure other brands of containers with sockets.
I am also looking at the metal collection of 90 foot container cars from B-Models. The models have been announced for a few years, but I have yet to see photos of the actual model. The images in the flyer show some detail but are not clear on how exactly they are to be used. Either way, this seems more promising than the Fleischmann type peg system used on their 60 foot Sgnss model.
For now, I probably will order one or two more of the Rocky Rail cars (maybe a Hupac and a ERS model).

I will decide on the B-Models cars once I have seen better images of the design and fixation system.
They have Ge-Ex, Ewals, Ferrymasters and Samskip cars that would fit my consists, not to mention the Ambrogio train that runs on the BLS daily.



Thanks for the little review. I recently had a look at the rocky rail stuff and it does look good. And is now on the end of my long list. One type of container wagon to look out for is the Brawa mega Fret wagons. Great detail and know issues with derailing on k track!! Just very difficult to get hold off. And I want two more for my channel Tunnel bound Freight, with Stobart rail swap bodies, which you can get in HO👍

I put Marklin AC wheels on my Piko T3000 and ran it for hours on C Track with no issues.

I found a listing for a 94383 DB Cargo Sgnss car with DB Schenker containers, which was a sondermodell for Bahnshop 1435 in 2012. I also found a listing for a SBB Cargo Sgnss with Innofreight Containers lettered for Clariant (2013). That model was made for Clariant.

Neither of these models show up on the list that I reference most often:

I managed to find them by looking through the Werbemodell listings in the Insider publications

In previous years, I struggled to obtain limited edition models for the Dutch market (47051.XX, 47052, 47053, 47054).
There have been other models that would have been of interest had I known of them.

Does anybody have a list of all the sondermodell editions of the 4744X type and 4705X/4707X/4709X type container cars?

I got my B-Modells car and containers. You will be thrilled to know that they use a different system for container attachment. They are elliptical bumps on the car with convex cut outs in the container. The containers might fit on other brand wagons but no other containers I have seen will match the wagon. I am not even impressed by how securely the container is affixed to the wagon. I post a picture when I get a chance.

If you are interested in Swiss containers, there is a good choice here, including the Coop ones

I would love to see a RailCare Vectron (Rem 476) with Coop containers. (Hey Maerklin, are you listening?)

I received four of the AWM Railcare/Coop containers today. I added posts made from .04" round styrene and was able to attach these to my Marklin Sgnss cars. The posts line up perfectly with the holes on the cars. I have to say that these containers are really cool looking! Hopefully, Marklin does offer some of these with additional paint/printing like they did with Minitrix.
