Here's my shots from Saturday 09 November 2013

The weather was very poor and it was quite dark, but at least I got it.

Kennett - it made up an hour in it's journey between Trimley and Kennett - I only beat it by 10 minutes, and it ran round at Ipswich !

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?

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.
