65 Warflats were built at Shildon for the Ministry Of Defence between 1976 and 1981, originally dual braked, with the TOPS classification PFB, they were converted to air braked only during the 1990s. Some received the PFA code before the K prefix came into use (KFB/KFA). These wagons are primarily used for transporting soft skin and light armoured vehicles, but can be used for a variety of loads, including bridges and even steam locomotives. KFAs are still in use today. (Information provided via Cavalex Models) |
