The model of the Tanoos 896 has been in use since 1998. The wagons are primarily used to transport potash, as this wagon causes particularly little dust during loading and unloading. But they are also used for the transport of feed, sand and other goods. The wagons are loaded via a pivoting roof and unloaded via four slides on the underside. They are mainly used in block trains. The wagons are mainly in use at DB, where they have already gone through various paint jobs and name changes such as DB Cargo, Railion, Railion DB Logistics and DB Schenker. There are cars with German and Dutch registration. In addition to DB, the wagon rental company Nacco also has the wagons in its fleet.

The swing roof wagons of the type Tanoos have been in use since the 1990s. They are used to transport sand, chalk and many other bulk goods.
The Modellbahn Union N gauge models of the swing roof wagons are characterized by detailed design and printing. Country-specific abbreviations and addresses are also taken into account. Numerous attachments are made of metal. The cars are available in a new design and with highly realistic aging in different versions. All models have a close coupling link and NEM coupling pockets. Each company number appears in an edition of 150 to 200 copies. Depending on the type of printing, the cars are in use in Era V and VI.
