This is my Lego version of the TOPS Code KQA/KTA Intermodal Pocket Wagon. The KQA/KTA wagons were specifically intended to permit the carriage of 9ft 6in tall containers within the UK loading gauge. With a distinctive slab-sided design, the wagons were initially given RIV numbers, but being used only on domestic Freightliner services, were later renumbered into the private-owner series. The method of carrying containers earned them the nickname Pocket wagons. An unusual feature of the type is that it has a usable length of just 40ft, the remainder being accounted for by the bogies. As such, they can carry a single 40ft container or two 20ft containers. Locating spigots are fitted at the outer end of the pocket floor, the wagon sides holding the containers in place. The brake operating gear and air cylinders are mounted above the bogies at opposite ends. - Given my recent experiments in container design, I thought it appropriate to try and design a wagon to compliment them. I've built this wagon in the Tiphook livery - which helped parts-wise, although in real life these wagons rarely look anywhere near new. Raw metal, grime and rust are normally order of the day.
