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 an OO gauge (4 mm) model representing current‑era freight wagons. It carries the manufacturer part number OO‑FWA‑4101C and depicts the VTG Ecofret FWA twin and triple container flats that are shorter than conventional flats, allowing a greater load per train length in a market dominated by 40 ft containers.

The model is available in four VTG green twin‑set liveries and in a GBRf blue triple‑set version; a DB red triple‑set is also offered, with a second DB red set to be produced if demand warrants. The wagons feature a solid metal spine for added weight together with moulded deck and spigot details. The twin sets measure 375 mm over buffers, while the triple sets measure 550 mm over buffers.

The Ecofret design was introduced from 2011 and is used by operators such as DB Cargo, Freightliner and GBRf, appearing in DB red (triple), VTG green (twin), GBRf blue and VTG dark blue (triple) liveries. This model enables modellers to assemble realistic rakes of contemporary European freight wagons.
