There are several options for fitting containers on your Sgns cars. Herpa has an adapter 084192 which can be used for mounting 20 foot containers with sockets on cars from Maerklin (and others with sockets). I have managed to mount a Bertschi 40 foot tank container on one of my Maerklin cars using a pair of these.



Another option would be the kit from PT Trains, which are little pins that can be inserted into the car sockets and will then hold the containers in place.

The SBB Sgns can be found in international traffic, but are primarily used by SBB Cargo and rented to third parties for traffic in Switzerland.
They can be found in trains between Swiss harbours (Basel) and terminals and destinations within Switzerland.
Some rental/lease use may consist of trains that travel through Switzerland, as SBB Cargo competes with Wascosa, Hupac and others for this rent/lease business.
You can use the 47106 to expand the 47096 SBB Cargo car set and the new 47463 set. You can move one or two containers from other cars or leave one or two cars empty.

The ideal way to find containers to put on these cars might be the container sets 76550/76552 40 foot container sets or the 76551/76553 20 foot container sets.

I have found that even some of the containers intended for use with Maerklin cars (the 47051.005 Herpa "Geest" containers) did not properly line up with the sockets on the cars.

If you use the 084192 adaptors, you can use almost any Herpa 20 foot containers, be it regular, square tank or 23 foot round tank containers. Matter of fact, these are the same parts that Maerklin included with the 47051-47054 cars.

In order to create some variety, I moved some containers from my 47441 type cars to some of my 47106 type cars, including the Dreier (47441), Natural (47449) and Capital (47449). Those cars are now running with my Bell, SBB and other loads (taken from 4851, 4852).

Huenerbein has a wide selection of 20 foot containers (Herpa, Kombimodell) that can be used with the Herpa adaptors, as does Eyro in Switzerland.
I remember reading that Faller containers also have pins, but have not tried any of them with the Maerklin cars.

I have a couple of Roco container sets, and the optional yellow clip on parts included fit onto the edges of my Marklin cars. With some containers offloaded in the intermodal yard, the wagons can haul others.

I usually type my post, then submit it. Once done, select edit, pick the location you want to add the photo and click on the paperclip icon which allows you to attach files.
It will open a pop up where you can drag the file or photo to and then upload it to the server.
Once done, complete any other edits (description, etc) and click on post and the photo will now appear along with your text
