adds-trains Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I have come in to possession of a single end FGA wagon hastily bought thinking it was the middle wagon. Rather than sell it I want to make another twin pack so if anyone has a single outer FGA wagon for sale I would like to buy it. Currently I have the wagon 601245 with Evergreen and Stolt container. Id prefer to buy any other different wagon with a different running number but I would buy the same if it was available as I could renumber it myself. Containers are not important, if there available ill buy but will buy without. also don't care if its boxed or unboxed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 My thought is acquire a Palbrick freightliner adaptor from KR and fit/convert to have a bar coupling on it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mol_PMB Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Or you could fit a headstock and buffers on the inner end of the FGA as well to make one of the twin-ended wagons? They weren't so numerous but they did exist and lasted a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the singles were converted for EWS to replace the Tench (Sturgeons with sides) to produce Supertench which were loaded with dropside modules to produce a long low open in the same fashion as the Borail/Mullet conversions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
