As far as I can remember Freightliner services started round about 1965. They used air-braked bogie flats from the start so haulage would have been suitably braked diesels or electrics.
The wagons were usually in permanently coupled sets of 5 with only the outer wagons having standard buffers and couplings so obviously train lengths were multiples of 5.
