Hi!
In RTR, there are a large number of tank wagons for transporting industrial liquids (diesel, oil) as well as open freight wagons for transporting coal, sand, etc. There are also a large number of closed freight wagons for transporting food, boxes with goods or freezer wagons. However, there seems to be a lack of any model of an enclosed wagon for transporting bulk materials or grain - please correct me if I'm wrong!
They were and are still being produced in the former Czechoslovakia and in today's Czech Republic a 4-axle tank wagons Uacs (nicknamed The Onion) intended especially for transports of cement, ground limestone, blast-furnace slag, ground lime and power plant ash. They also exist a 4-axle tank wagons Uacns (nicknamed Silo) intended especially for transports of grain.
Question: Can anyone make models of these wagons?

Pferdle made a lot of modern bulk container wagons. They can be used for many different purpose. I've been looking for something like the Alpha-Wascosa Uacs. Never found anything like it I use bulkcont. & old repainted; covered grain hoppers & tank cars. - Boots127

You made a search error - wrong string: not Alpha-Wascosa Uacs, but Alpha-Wascosa Uacns. Uacs wagons are used to transport cement, slaked lime powder and other industrial raw materials, Uacns wagons are designed to transport grain! In general, just put the abbreviation Uacns in the search and the search engine should show you a lot of links and images...

In fact I spelled it wrong, sorry! This is the wagon I ment. It's in my library of bulk wagons since 2013, But I have never seen anything like it by RTR modellers. So how about Pferdles bulk containers? - Boots127

As for the bulk container models from Pferdle, you have to ask him, he visits LVD sometimes. Although originally from Germany, Pferdl is known to be a big fan of exotic railroads, including American railroads. Based on the last picture of the Mills tank truck, I assume that similar grain trucks are running in the US, which may be confirmed by other members of the US community. In Europe, however, Uacns class wagons are used to transport grain. As for the Uacs class wagons for transporting cement, lime and other bulk materials, I'm not sure if this class is even used in Europe, let alone the US, as these wagons were manufactured in the former Czechoslovakia and were quite unique in appearance (hence the nickname Onions), that's why I was interested....

Swedish state railw. had similar cement wagons named Uc & Ucs , now abandoned. I blastered some Uc in 1984. The Uacs is newer - Boots127

The problem is that there are apparently no models of such wagons in RTR, that's why I asked about it...
