KLee55 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I understand that FGA/FFA wagons operated in fixed rakes but would KFAs ever have been included in the same train i.e. coupled to a rake of FGA/FFA wagons (late 80s period)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 From the 1970s onwards, the 5-wagon sets were appearing as formations of different lengths, from pairs of FGAs to longer combinations. KFA wagons (built for Tiphook) started to appear in late 1989. in mixed formations with the original BR-designed wagons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 PFA/KFA appeared to be used for local short term hires so were mixed in with other airbrake stock. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/tiphookfreightliner Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLee55 Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Many thanks for your replies. So I could get away with running a pair of the Bachmann FGAs with a couple of the Hornby KFAs (1989/1990 period)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
