Model features:
165 vacuum braked Borails were built to diagrams 1/482 and 1/483 in the late 1950s. The Borails were built with 8' plate bogies and vacuum brakes.
Around 2010, EWS rebuilt some of the wagons by removing the low body and ISO engineers’ modules with drop-down doors and mesh sides were fitted.
