Details

Carflat Wagons were designed to transport motor vehicles by rail, a practice that began in the early twentieth century and expanded after World War Two as car ownership became widespread. Many were constructed using redundant coach underframes, giving new life to retired passenger stock. The type became especially prominent in 1966 with the introduction of British Rail’s Motorail service, allowing holidaymakers to take their cars on long-distance trains. This offered the convenience of independent travel at their destination without the fatigue of a lengthy drive. These wagons are an essential addition for realistic modern and heritage freight formations.
