XChris Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi all, I've had a rake of the standard Bachmann modern image container wagons for a while, before Hattons FEA's or Dapol's intermodal wagons came out. Now my question is where and when did these wagons actually operate, as I'm considering selling them if they don't fit in with my era of around 2010-2018. Any help is much appreciated! I've attempted to search through my own images but unfortunately I concentrated on the locos Cheers all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted April 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2021 Introduced in 1994 IIRC, still running now. They’re coded FIAs, and run under DB Cargo, including carrying aluminium from Germany with JLR/Novelis containers in conjunction with IWA Cargowagons, as well as more general intermodal services. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreight1998 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 DB use them fitted with flat containers on steel traffic from Scunthorpe to eastern France through the channel tunnel as well as the Jaguar aluminium trains. They're also used by GBRf on some of their intermodal services. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information guys! I think you'd have to scratch-build. From above, the containers look like a large, flattened, 'H'. The ends extend the full width of the wagon, with the middle 'spine' being narrower. A photo will show what I mean:- https://ukrailwaypics.smugmug.com/UKRailRollingstock/F/FIA-intermodal-flats-Sfggmrrss/i-wBB3FTP/A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done a 3D print of the JLR boxes, just waiting for the Revolution IWAs! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
