N Gauge Lancashire Flat 30ft Container

This unique 3D printed model represents the elusive Lancashire Flat – a 30ft flat deck container once commonly seen across the UK railway network between the 1980s and early 2000s. Designed at true 1:148 scale for British N gauge layouts, this container is an ideal load for your Revolution Trains KFA flat wagons.

These containers were primarily used to transport aluminium slabs from Scotland and, while never officially catalogued, earned the nickname Lancashire Flats among rail enthusiasts.

Due to the scarcity of available references, this model is based on dimensions derived from real ISO standards and scaled comparisons with known 30ft Bulktainer units, ensuring a prototypically accurate footprint and profile.

Whether you're modelling British Rail freight operations or simply want to add a unique and forgotten piece of intermodal history to your layout, this Lancashire Flat is a subtle but authentic detail that will set your scene apart.

Features:

• Accurate 1:148 scale (British N Gauge)
• Designed to fit standard KFA container flats
• Includes distinctive single vertical corrugated end detail
• Clean flat deck with ISO corner casting detailing
• Ideal for weathering or custom load detailing
