Freightliner Flats - going multimodal


I'm making up a set of 5 Hornby/Triang container flats.
I have bought 3 from the internet and 1 from the Spalding show to add to the 1 I have had for years.

The first 2 to arrive in the post with a Yeoman PGA wagon that came at the same time.
The track was an unexpected bonus included with one of the Freightliners. :)

This is the latest, £9 from the 2013 Spalding show. :)
All 5 will undergo weathering shortly and a couple will need container doors fixing/replacing but I'm not sure of the best way to do it.
I may just use the ones with broken doors dumped on the ground in the yard for storage.
its highly unlikely that these liveries would be seen together on a train and i will also need some ISO containers.
Container research time.

Need to make 2 end wagons.

Not sure on kits, but have noticed that someone will be doing these soon as RTR.

Definitely getting some 1980s containers from Wild Boar.

Pack of 5?

They look like good models.

Will make the train look different. :)

Plan is 2 Bachmann wagons when they come out, with the pack of 5 Wild Boar containers.

That means only 3 of the Hornby wagons wil need upgrading ;)
