Out of the oven - VDA version 3

Fastline Simulation: Third VDA van for RailWorks out of the oven.
Third VDA van for RailWorks is now out of the oven.

This version is from the batch fitted with experimental FAT13 suspension, to my eye it looks surprisingly spindly compared to running gear we're used to seeing. FAT13 suspension was successful in improving the ride quality of the wagon and reducing damage to the load but was not widely adopted due to the high manufacturing cost.
