Prototype information

Revolution Trains FNA‑D Nuclear Flask Carrier No. 11 70 9229 005‑7 is an OO gauge model of a current‑era nuclear flask wagon. It is supplied by Revolution Trains under the part number RT‑FNAD‑402.

The prototype was constructed by WH Davis in 2014 to replace older nuclear flask wagons. It is used across the rail network to convey spent fuel from nuclear power stations to Sellafield, usually travelling in rakes of one to four wagons hauled by two locomotives, either double‑headed or top‑and‑tailed.

The model is produced under licence from DRS and is a highly accurate representation in 1:76.2 scale on 16.5 mm track. All units carry the same livery, with eight different running numbers available, and feature detailed underframe work. It can negotiate a minimum radius of 438 mm (second radius) and is fitted with bogies that have separate brake shoes aligned with the wheels. The wheels are RP25‑110 profile OO gauge, 26 mm long with 2 mm diameter axles to facilitate conversion to EM or P4. Sprung buffers and kinetic NEM coupler sockets with mini tension‑lock couplers are mounted on the body.
