Prototype: The Zafns type articulated tank cars are used to transport chalk sludge. To allow the sludge to be discharged, the carriage is tilted in the middle towards the discharge valve. The wagons have been in use since the mid-1980s and are operated by various freight wagon operators and railway companies. This leads to a multitude of combinations in the registrations, home stations and owners of the wagons. They are mainly based and registered in Germany, France and Great Britain. The carriages are both ferry worthy and Channel Tunnel approved, allowing carriages with British registrations to travel the continent and carriages from Germany, France, Belgium and other countries to roll on English tracks. The length over the buffers is 14.45m.
