This five-wagon pack comprises a pair of FGA outer wagons which are equipped with sprung metal couplings at the outer end and a NEM coupling pocket mounted to the wagon floor on a close coupling mechanism. At the inner ends a bespoke coupling pocket is employed, allowing the wagons to couple to the three FFA inner wagons (or two FGAs can be joined together) using the bar coupling supplied with each model.

The wagon itself has everything on show, being much like a skeleton and comprising two solebars, underframe trussing and various cross members to add strength and rigidity, and all of these aspects are replicated to stunning effect in diecast metal. Added to this are separate components depicting the brake gear and auxiliary equipment, with metal wire used to represent pipe runs which stretch the length of the vehicle. The attention to detail extends to the bogies which are modelled faithfully, including the brake blocks and brake discs that are fitted to each axle. Naturally, the wheels and axles are all made from metal.

Turning our attention to the containers and these are just as detailed, being injection moulded and complete with full ribbing and rivet detail. The containers are then fitted with separate door locking mechanisms whilst they are secured to the wagon decks thanks to the replica twistlock fittings supplied in the accessory pack. The real wagons were fitted with splashers above each wheelset, although over time many were lost or fell off, so these are supplied as etched metal components for optional fitting.

To complete these outstanding models a full livery application has been executed to Branchline’s exacting standards, from the rich blue paintwork and multiple markings and logos found on the wagons themselves, to the containers with their eye-catching colour schemes and various markings and logos – all is replicated to full effect.
