Joined: 10/02/2006(UTC) Posts: 4,041 Location: In the process of moving to the UK		I have some yellow 2-axle tank cars marked DANZAS The one on the left is item 46422 and has close couplers. The one on the right has Relex couplers and the simpler walkway on top. I suspect it may be a commercial print run, can anyone identify it? Rail companies: SBB CFF FFS Zurich

The ROCO model does not have the small text below the blue DANZAS text, different railing too. Based in Basel. It is a Märklin model.

Joined: 26/03/2019(UTC) Posts: 841 Location: Florida Classic but Successful Swampland City		Here is a Jimmy SWAG (Silly Wild A-- Guess) Could the one with the less elaborate walkway be a special Primex (as it would still have "Märklin" imprint on the underframe) imprint as it also does not appear to have data printing on the frame?? Just my 2 pf. p. s. I can not quite make out what the small text under the "S" says

It's a good thought. The 4440 tank car has been used for numerous commercial print runs, so I think that is probably what I have. I don't have the Kolls special catalog that covers them.

Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 8,312 Location: Montreal, QC		I believe it is most likely that this car is either from a start set or was released as a Swiss only model under the number 4441-9XX Regards Mike C
