The larger ones (45ft) that I have (Ewals, Ge-Fresh) do not fit on the Maerklin container cars without constructive solutions. The tank containers and 23ft swap containers work pretty nicely, but you need the Herpa 084192 adapter to seat them on the Maerklin cars. Most of my container assortment is from Herpa, Kombimodell and others. Regards Mike C

I was very happy to see how this container looked on one of my Rocky Rail Twin Cars. As an experiment, I placed the other container on a Maerklin Sgnss (47097) type, using a pair of the Herpa 084192 Adapters and it remained in place and looks very nice. https://www.truckmo.com/...ll_TRUCKMO_1280x1280.jpg AWM had a similar design, but not in the Bertschi livery: https://www.truckmo.com/...kw-Container_TRUCKMO.jpg Regards Mike C
