Product Description

Set of 2 Sggmrs AAE articulated platforms with ACOTRAL 45 'containers2

HISTORY 

The AAE company (Ahaus Alstätter Eisenbahn GmgH) was founded in 1989 in the city of Baar in Switzerland. Its function is to rent freight wagons to different European railway operators. As of 2015, it is associated with VTG AG, another giant dedicated to car rental. It is estimated that between the two companies they manage some 80,000 freight wagons.

In 1999, AEE ordered the manufacture of hundreds of articulated platforms to the company Moravskoslezska Vagonka (MV) in the city of Studénka, Czech Republic. The delivery was made between 1999 and 2000.

They were 90-foot Sggmrs series articulated platforms capable of transporting 20, 30, 40 and 45 foot containers in various combinations between them.

As of the year 2005, the first private companies operating goods began to appear in Spain. Four companies decided to rent a series of platforms to carry out container transport services. Euro Cargo Rail (later Transfesa), Continental Rail, Logitren and Tracción Rail acquire 68, 88, 20 and 20 platforms respectively. Starting in 2009, the first Sggmrs 4952 and 4953 series units registered in Germany began to arrive.

They all feature the same gray decoration with the same inscriptions. The series was randomly distributed among the four companies and the 196 platforms do not have a consecutive numbering.

Although their UIC registration marks them in Germany, they had a detail in their labeling that distinguishes them within Spain. Its domiciliation station is Vicálvaro, in the city of Madrid. But by mistake they were labeled Vilcalvaro. So we can have platforms with this error and others in which the letter L has been erased too much, leaving it as Vi calvaro. Over time they began to present an appearance of deterioration and a painted patches throughout its structure.

In 2017, 100 new units manufactured by Tatravagónka Poprad, Slovakia, series Sggmrss 4963 were received in Spain. The companies Comsa (currently Captrain) and Continental Rail have rented these wagons, randomly distributing the series. The first units bore the AAG labels, while the remainder bore the VTG labels.

In July 2018, Continental Rail received for rent a series of 15 new Sggmrss 4963 series units, from the Wascosa company, dedicated to the rental of material. Like most of Wascosa's proprietary material, it has a very striking orange color, with the signs of this company and also with the signs of Continental Rail. They were manufactured in 2018, also by Tatravagónka Poprad.
