scottishlocos Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Guys I am looking for information and pictures on the KFAs open containers used on WHL to carry paper reels and aluminium ingots. I have a few questions were open containers the same and loaded with either ingots or paper? Also the limited photos I have seen of these wagons sometimes thy have stans ions but both these pics were 80s the 90s/00's pics they don't have them were the remote effects at some point Thanks Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I believe that both were loaded on 30' foot Lancashire flat containers as they appear to be the same! Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted April 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2018 I believe that both were loaded on 30' foot Lancashire flat containers as they appear to be the same! Mark Saunders Hi all, My understanding of this is the same as Mark. Still waiting for an RTR model to appear! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 IIRC they are Freightliner type C flats. But can't find where I found that so might be wrong http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/gansg/5-unit/unitload3.htm Dont know what you've seen already but.. Best pics on Martyn Read and Paul Bartlett's sites. https://ukrailwaypics.smugmug.com/UKRailRollingstock/K-Tops-codes/KFA-Intermodal-flats/i-48Zg4TS/A https://ukrailwaypics.smugmug.com/UKRailRollingstock/K-Tops-codes/KFA-Intermodal-flats/i-X9bRHdt/A http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/tiphookfreightliner/h3da9bc2c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi all, My understanding of this is the same as Mark. Still waiting for an RTR model to appear! Thanks The closest that has been done was the 20' foot version by Triang complete with the removable side and end panels! Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 S-Kits did a resin kit once upon a time, but I flogged all the ones I had and converted 30' containers instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishlocos Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 All Thanks pics I have seen are in books and one on this page looks like they only have an end at one side and it didn't matter which way round they were loaded also no stanchions on the later pics Dave http://www.hondawanderer.com/Class_37_5.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
