smg201 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 66718, Sir Peter Hendy CBE, on 4E05, 12:36, Felixstowe South - Peterborough Maintenance Shed - empty flat (+52) Interesting photo there, the flats look like Freighliners Shortliner/VTG EcoFret? Have GBRf taken on some, as they look like they are in 3 wagon formation. Frieghtliner has 2 wagon formation. Of course my eyes might be playing tricks! Any pics of the wagons up-close?

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not marvellous I'm afraid, the weather was poor and I had target fixation on the loco The number looks to be 83 70 4520 001-6 but this is not clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I believe the triple set is the prototype built by VTG and now used by GBRf, all of the production ones with Freightliner are twins I believe jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ews60002 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The VTG wagons are indeed the prototype wagons, They built them as a 3 wagon set to show how they work and as a sales tool for future sales. Freightliner decided on the 2 wagon set that are painted green. The TOPS code for these wagons are FWA and European code is Sfgkmmss. I have these pictures of the wagon when they worked on the GBRf Felixstowe to Trafford Park working. Hope this helps Mathew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
