FWA 'Ecofret' Container Flat Wagons
FWA 83 70 4520 165-9 at Northampton in August 2016. ©Dan Adkins The fleet of FWA 'Ecofret' wagons were produced by VTG in an effort to carry a great number of loads per train, utilising the 40ft size container, which was becoming increasingly popular in the early 2010s. These versatile wagons can be configured as either twin or triple sets and avoid the need for empty spaces which can cause turbulence and increased drag. |
