What a shame they were built abroad and not in the UK. Buy British & support our economy.

Those long buffers might be a problem when coupled to a Uk wagon,especially when going around tight curves !!! ( If I remember correctly from my days a freight guard in the 70s and 80s ,the rule was – always use the screw coupling on the European/long buffered wagon and NOT the instanter or screw coupling on the short buffered UK wagon when coupling up!!)
