New release - pre-orders invited - expected during 2025. preauthkernow

Dapol say "The KFA wagons were built from 1987/88 by Rautaruukki in Finland for Tiphook with the eventual fleet totalling over 200 wagons. The first batch were on Gloucester GPS bogies with the later ones being on VNH-1 bogies. They were originally designated as PFA wagons and some of the first jobs they did was as steel beam carriers or with low height containers moving contaminated spoil from Chatham. Later moving on to things like intermodal, Binliner services and aluminium ingot transportation. Currently they are in use with Freightliner, DB Cargo, GBRf and Network Rail. The latter using them for modules such as Rail head treatment trains, weed killing and in the long-welded rail trains. The models are designed to represent both the ones fitted with GPS bogies and the VNH-1 and be able to work with our O gauge containers. The model is also fitted with a Lenz style pocket so that you can connect them easier without having to always use the scale couplings. This also allows them to go around tighter corners than if they were just on the scale couplings."
