My friend Craig raised the question that possibly the trailer length was actually longer than the estimated 40'. Viewing video footage from the Windhoff site (refer link, then go to 'Railway Vehicles' -> 'Product videos' -> 'Windhoff CargoSprinter (CRT)' videos, it would appear as though the Australian variant might actually have 60' trailers, hence possibly why the trailers/wagons have bogies. It would appear that in some of the footage, two 30' containers are colocated on each wagon. Also in the 'short video' a "CRT 30' mod (?)" was being loaded on the back of one of the power units, so 30' containers must be used.
Craig suggested I make an enquiry on the Yahoo Group Aus_Model_Rail to see if anyone knows more about the specifications of the CargoSprinter.
Stay tuned.
