Bachmann's latest batch of FFA & FGA Container Flat Wagons in OO Gauge have now arrived into stock at Rails!
We have many different versions available in Freightliner and Privatisation era liveries with applicable container loads including various sizes and types.
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of British Rail launching Freightliner as its operating company for intermodal haulage, meaning thereās no better time to welcome the highly acclaimed āFreightliner Flatsā back to the Bachmann Branchline range. The wagons that formed the original Freightliner services were later coded FFA and FGA under the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) that was introduced in the 1970s, and models of both the FFA inner wagons and FGA outers will be available.
This FFA wagon is designed to be used with our FGA two-wagon packs and is fitted with a bespoke coupling pocket, allowing the wagon to couple to the FGAs or other FFA inner wagons using the bar coupling supplied with each model.

2025 marks the 60th anniversary of British Rail launching Freightliner as its operating company for intermodal haulage, meaning thereās no better time to welcome the highly acclaimed āFreightliner Flatsā back to the Bachmann Branchline range.

The introduction of Freightliner services marked the start of a new era for BRās freight operations; with continuous air brakes employed throughout the train a brake van was no longer required and instead, the guard was allowed to travel in the rear cab of the locomotive ā possible only with applicable diesel and electric locomotives of course. The fixed formations of 5-wagon sets, comprising three FFAs flanked by a pair of FGAs, featured traditional drawgear and buffers at the outer end of each FGA only, so that the set could be coupled to the locomotive or for when two or more 5-wagon sets operated together.
