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 1980s and are operated by various freight wagon operators and railway companies. They are primarily based and registered in Germany, France and Great Britain, but are used throughout Europe. The wagons are both suitable for ferries and approved for the Channel Tunnel and therefore have a smaller loading gauge than other wagons.
