What freight do you run on your layout, and if possible tell us what you think of your wagons and why you think that.

FTA Container Trains (Farish dont do an FSA outer).
OAA Wagons containing Ballast
PCA Cement Wagons
VTG Ferry Wagons for Chunnel Traffic :P

Soon to be (if farish release them this millenium)
HTA Coal Hoppers (True EWS Wagons)
HHA Coal Hoppers (To expand my Frieghtliner business :) )


Comments on them:
The original container flats from Farish now look very old, and vastly lacking detail. The re-released Frightliner Containers are nice, but lack variety. The 2006/07 Container flats have much better detail and feature some nice variety in liveries and sizes :)
OAA wagons are very nice, great detail and run well. I have RailFreight Red/Grey ones
PCA Cement wagons, again very nice and weathered from the box.
VTG Wagons, these are minitrix I think and are ballasted for better running. Newer ones are coming out from Dapol shortly so I want to boost my stock.
HTA and HHA wagons are going to be very expensive on release (£16-£18 each I think) so its going to take me a while to build up a realistic train. But the details they have so far seems to indicate they will match the 00 versions closely, which is greta news for a Ngauge modeller :D
