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 Triple Set – GBR blue with large Ecofret branding on deck.
Manufacturer part number: OO-FWA-4111B. The model represents the current era.

This is a OO gauge (4 mm) scale model of the VTG Ecofret FWA twin and triple container flats used by DB Cargo, Freightliner and GBRf. The Ecofret design, introduced in 2011, offers a shorter wagon than conventional container flats, allowing a greater load per train length when handling the predominately 40‑foot container market.

The set is supplied in GBRf blue livery, featuring a solid metal spine for added weight and moulded deck and spigot details. The triple‑set measures 550 mm over the buffers; a twin‑car version is 375 mm.

Four variations of the VTG green twin sets and the GBRf blue triple sets are available for assembling realistic rakes, with the option of an additional DB red triple set should demand justify a second release.
