B.P. Tank Wagon

000 BP tank wagons

This oil tank wagon consisted of a tanker mounted on a four-wheel chassis. The tank wagon had a flip-top dome casing on top, bracing in two places around the cylinder, mounted on an underframe.

The model tank wagon was slightly larger in the early production, being a smaller size later on. It was the same mold as used in the Shell tank and UD tank wagons in the range.

The wagons were finished either green with BP stencilled in red or silver with BP stencilled in green. The BP was for British Petroleum oil and gas company. The chassis was bronze coloured.
