Manufacturer description

OO gauge/4mm scale model of the VTG Ecofret FWA twin and triple container sets in use with DB Cargo, Freightliner and GBRf. VTG developed the new and innovative FWA “Ecofret” in twin and triple format as wagons which are shorter than traditional container flats, meaning that in a market dominated by 40’ containers they can carry a greater load per train length.

The Ecofrets were introduced from 2011 and can be seen in DB red (triple set), VTG green used by Freightliner (twin sets), GBRf blue and VTG dark blue liveries (triple sets). We are offering 4 number variations of the VTG green twin sets and the GBRf blue triple sets so that modellers can assemble realistic rakes. In addition we are offering one of the two DB red triple sets (we will offer the second set if there is sufficient demand).

The models will feature a solid metal spine for weight with moulded deck and spigot details.

The twin car sets are 375mm and the triple sets are 550mm (both measurements over buffers).

Prototype information

Revolution Trains Ecofret FWA Container Flat Twin Set – VTG green (as used by Freightliner) is a OO gauge (4 mm scale) model representing current‑era freight wagons. The kit is listed under manufacturer part number OO‑FWA‑4101A.

The model replicates VTG’s Ecofret FWA twin and triple container flats that are shorter than conventional container wagons, enabling a higher payload per train length in a market dominated by 40‑foot containers. Versions are supplied in the liveries used by DB Cargo, Freightliner and GBRf.

Four colour variations of the VTG green twin sets and the GBRf blue triple sets are offered, allowing modellers to build realistic rakes. One DB red triple‑set is also available, with a second to be produced if demand justifies it.

The kits feature a solid metal spine for added weight, together with moulded deck and spigot details. The twin car set measures 375 mm over buffers, while the triple set measures 550 mm over buffers.
