New FFA-G wagons for Freightliner, Romsey, 20th September 2021

66540 Ruby had the honour of taking delivery of the new FFA-G wagons for Freightliner, moving them as 66540 4Z13 06:44 Wembley Receptions 1-7 - Southampton M.C.T.

40 wagons, in 20 pairs. The numbers were all led by an odd number as seen, otherwise the pairs are rather random.


66540 Ruby passing through Romsey, where it had to slow to take the line to Redbridge, and immediately into Maritime.

Selected wagons are shown in the order of passing.

81 70 4846 107-0 (3rd wagon)
