Hi all,

Here's a couple of photos of my "blue" banana wagons.

If you look closely, you'll see that there is still differences in the "hair design".

Hi Stephen,

The wagon has Liliput..Austria stamped on the bottom of it.

It did come unboxed so could someone have changed the body/chassis......any idea's.

The body/chassis is all plastic.

I'm up to six of these:

Jumbocontainer Chiquita bananer

It is a Märklin 4672.

I've since before three of these:

Dole bananer

It is a 4735.024 with a fantasy livery, Marked as SJ (Swedish State Railways) Hbis, based on a Märklin's 4735 SBB/CFF/FFS Hbis.

I have also two Märklin 4637, which takes me to a total of eleven banana wagons. These two German ones will not be in the same train as the Swedish ones, but the Dole and Chiquita wagons would look fine after for instance an SJ Rc loco (37413, 37418 or 3043)*) or an SJ T44 diesel (37940 or 37941).

___________________
*) The most suitable for a freight train would be an Rc1 or Rc2 and with wagons marked "SJ" it should be orange or blue livery - not green or black, since Green Cargo was created later byt splitting passenger and freight traffic of old SJ into two new companies SJ AB for passenger traffic and Green Cargo AB for freight trains.

Thanks Ian.

By the way this is something I've been working for the last half year or so. Found some of the Chiquitas as second hand in shops in Stockholm, one at a swap meet called "Hjulmarknaden", which is a Swedish untranslatable pun - hjul means wheel, but if you drop the "h" you get Jul which is Christmas and marknad means market or fair. The rest are from eBay.de and even with shipment the wagons are often less expensive compared to in Sweden, where the interest is larger since they are based on a Swedish prototype.

Hi Mike,

Being honest, I'd never heard of it either, but I'm sure plenty of forum members will keep me (us) right. Smile

It does start with an H though.

Photo's soon, it's still in the post.
