Hei!
I have a small question (in english, sorry)!
What is the most common size of the container used on the cargo trains nowadays (in Norway)?
It seems to me that they are all quite big (~24'). However it looks like modellers keep on producing 20' containers (Electrotren, Roco, ...), which then doesn't fit to reallity. Only NMJ recently produced some 24' containers. Am I right?
The final result looks quite different on the wagons!
Takk for hjelpen!
Mvh,
Pierre-Yves

The most common size is 24 feet and 40 feet, there are also some 45 feet that go on train

Ok, thanks!
Do you then know which modeller produced some norwegian wagons (CN, AAE, GC...) with 24' container (except NMJ)?

Yes, most of the sizes can go on the wagon, but as far as I saw, the 24' is almost exclusively used, Right?

Most swap bodies on norwegian cargotrains today are 7.82 m. Tollpost, Schenker, Linjegods and Posten with the new logo uses these Swap bodies (capacity 19 euro pallets) Some coca cola swap bodies is 7.45m (18 euro pallets)  I think most Bring and DHL swap bodies  is 7.82m.
