The FNA-D nuclear flask carriers were built by WH Davis from 2014 to replace older nuclear flask wagons, and are used across the network to transport spent fuel from nuclear power stations to Sellafield. They typically run in rakes of 1-4 wagons mostly with two locos either double-headed or top-and-tailed.
Our model features:

All versions have the same white/teal green livery but with different running numbers and prototypical variations in lettering and warning panels. See the hazchem guide in the images for an explanation of the different markings. Version 3 is an unloaded flask carrier.
