This site might help, it looks like a single version of a twin set habbfis wagon.

Hi Tim,

The prototype wagon can only run in Continental Europe as it is out-of-gauge for the UK.  With European wagon codes, there needs to be an "f" if it is cleared for UK use.  So, for example, the Dapol Cargowaggon, which is UK cleared, is coded Habfis under European codes.

However, because this model is made to 1:160 scale it scales pretty well against British stock at 1:148.

They are also lovely models, with close coupling mechs and very neat livery application.  I have a short rake that I enjoy running!

cheers

it's very similar to the hbfis 4 wheel van

i've seen them for sale but cheapest i've found is 19 euro... i'm looking out for a cheaper one...

cheers for replies

Excuse my ignorance here, but what is the difference between the wagon in the opening post and a VGA wagon? They both appear to be door-type wagons with two axles?
