In totaal werden er tussen 2014 en 2019 veertig van deze opvallende voertuigen in drie series gebouwd voor de Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) door WH Davis in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, met de nummers 11 70 9229 001-040. Ze worden gebruikt voor het vervoer van verbruikte splijtstof van kerncentrales en locaties die worden ontmanteld naar de faciliteit in Sellafield voor herverwerking of opslag. De FNA-D is een voortzetting van Accurascale's populaire en gewaardeerde reeks nucleaire voertuigen, waaronder de KUA-bogie flask carrier en de PFA-tweeassige containerflat.
De wagons, die ook de UIC-code 'Uas' dragen, zijn een exacte vervanging voor de iconische vloot van door BR en Procor gebouwde FNA-kernkolvenwagons, die tussen 1976 en 1988 werden gebouwd en nu allemaal gesloopt zijn. De belangrijkste vernieuwingen zijn de zijkanten van de carrosserie met een zichtbaar frame en de kenmerkende Barber BER22.5 'Easy Ride' draaistellen met lage rupskracht. Intern zijn de ondersteunende structuren van het schip ontworpen om een breder scala aan kolfontwerpen te dragen. Accurascale heeft deze karakteristieke kenmerken op obsessieve wijze gerepliceerd op kleinere schaal met een ontwerp van gegoten composietmateriaal en kunststof, inclusief een gedetailleerd onderstel en remsysteem.
Ondanks de dramatische afname van het aantal werkende kerncentrales sinds de eeuwwisseling, zijn de FNA-D-wagons nog steeds te zien in een groot deel van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, meestal tussen de één en vijf wagons achter een paar locomotieven van Direct Rail Services (DRS). Deze operationele locaties zijn Hartlepool, Heysham 1 & 2, Torness en Sizewell B.
Op drie gesloten locaties vindt momenteel het verwijderingsproces van de brandstof plaats en worden bestraalde splijtstofstaven naar Sellafield verscheept: Dungeness B, Hinkley Point B en Hunterston B. Het laadpunt Valley voor de voormalige Wylfa-faciliteit op Anglesey heeft dit proces in 2019 afgerond, maar krijgt nog steeds te maken met onregelmatige bezoeken van kolftreinen, evenals Georgemas Junction, dat de experimentele reactoren in Dounreay bedient.

These are the most well balanced, die cast metal wagon I have seen which is supremely detailed. Being a mechanical engineer by education I understand metal casting to some extent … the tooling used here is superlatively made. It is almost too delicate to handle even for a seasoned person. I was almost scared I would break the cover to fit the batteries. They run real smooth and are stable at the curves and points. Accurascale shipped them fast, and added the magnetic wand as a thoughtful addition… much appreciated. I got the DRS class 37 duo now to pull them in a consist formation. Only suggestion would be to make the batteries change easier by putting them in the underbody and maybe change it to CR2032?
So glad I ordered a pair of these wagons for our layout based in the Eastern/LNER region before they all sold out. We now have a train that collects the spent fuel from Sizewell, before passing through our imaginary Suffolk line en-route to Sellafield.
The wagons run really well around our 14ft x 8ft dual level double loop, plus now we have the correct battery for the led this really sets them off.
They are superbly built with plenty of detail and would be at home on many a layout or diorama.
Very happy that I decided to buy a set of these models. They look great and run freely. Packaging was excellent with both wagons being extremely well secured. Good to remember that the 'wand' is not included but can be purchased as an accessory.
Order arrived on time as estimated when order placed...
Goods well packaged and undamaged.
Wagons a league above others.
Absolutely fantastic, great paintwork and superb details including brilliant decals/lettering.
Prototypical flashing light adds to great build specifications. Accurascale has detailed video on YouTube showing how to fit batteries, and use wand to turn on and off… The lights are not reliant on track feed, so wagons can be used on DC and DCC systems..
On the track, good running qualities and when coupled to 2 Accurascale Class 37’s make a realistic unbeatable model train formation. ..
Paperwork includes brief history and detailed parts drawing/list.
Recommend a great wagon to purchase at a realistic price..
When purchased direct, 10% off for multiple purchases, plus bonus points off future Accurascale products.

Look absolutely amazing, just like the real thing Love running these nuclear carriers on my layout. Brilliant job guys and another great addition to my fleet.
I got these nuclear flasks a few days ago,well fantastic they will go with my other ones and they look great on my layout,postage was great and fast.
Thank you
Peter.
Quality wagons, only complaint would be the need for a battery for the rear light
What a stunning pair of wagons these are! My second pack and highly recommended
These are great wagons.
However, I have one reservation and that is using a battery to power the taillight. I'm having difficulty sourcing the correct size battery and they are tricky to install. Why not use pickups and source power from the track?
Stunning models and incredible runners
They not only look the part they also run well and even have sprung buffers and one wagon has an illuminated flashing tail lamp. They handle radius 2 reverse curves with aplomb. They work well. A couple of Cons. Don't use the supplied couplings they are brittle and break. One of them arrived with its tines snapped off. Another snapped whilst trying to fit it. They are made from a painted over inferior plastic, real rubbish. I had to use Bachmann couplings instead. And the CR927 batteries used to operate the tail lamps had to be ordered in from Amazon, i could not source them locally here in Canada. The couplings have cost a star!
These are excellent wagons, look good and run well very pleased with them.
Looks very good. Like the tail light. Overall I am very pleased with the 2 models.
Excellent quality, perfectly boxed and loved runner, was given some accurascale gift cards for Christmas so put them to good use
Another lovey set of wagons from Accurascale. This time FNA-D ‘New Generation’ Nuclear Flask Carriers. My only complaint is the lack of a pre fitted battery, having to fit them yourself does run the risk of damaging them if you are not careful. Other than that 10/10.
Two brilliant models
Fantastic wagons! As always by accurascale!
I bought all 5 packs of these, and they arrived in Australia less than a week after ordering, safely packaged as usual. The detail is fantastic, and the flashing tail lamp a nice touch. It would have been ideal if it was removable, but given the size of it, a fixed lamp is understandable. Having seen online reviews I was prepared for the delicate removal of the cover to install the batteries, but did find the batteries a tight fit. Also had a bit of trouble finding batteries - CR927 is not exactly an off-the-shelf item. Overall another great model from Accurascale!
Lovely wagons, first-rate quality and appearance.
I am thrilled with the FNA-D wagons and have purchased all sets. They are immaculate and have a wonderful finish and level of detail to them. The rotating axle boxes are really cool too! A fantastic model at a fantastic price, what more could you want! Thank you Accurascale.
First class product and excellent quality at a great price.
Very detailed
Fast Delivery
Great
All good, just beware that £62.46 is the price without VAT, it’s actually £74.95 including VAT. Otherwise Very high quality model with lots of separated fitted parts
Spot on wagons
Great models, highly detailed and perfect signage. for God's sake include the batteries and stop people moaning.
Fantastic model excellent detail runs well
Very happy with this!
