TT6032 Touax KFA Container Wagon with 3x20 Containers
Product Info
Three different OO-scaled 20ft-long containers are featured in this model replica of Touax KFA, including those representing the Evergreen Marine Corporation, NOL (Neptune Orient Lines) and French shipping company Delmas.
History
The KFA intermodal wagons were produced using bogies and components reclaimed from redundant wagons, such as the TEA tankers, and were built in Finland in the late 1980s for Tiphook Rail.
At just over 60ft-long, the KFA is able to accommodate a mix of different shipping containers from the standardised range, either three 20ft containers, or a 40ft plus 20ft container.
In total, 240 of these bogie flat wagons were produced and as well as intermodal work, have also been used for transporting waste material, military equipment and on rail infrastructure trains, for which some are still in use today.
As well as Tiphook Rail, the wagons have also been operated by Touax and Network Rail.
