Product Description
14 Ton chemical tank wagons evolved from petroleum tank designs, built in the 1940s and 50s with welded barrels, rubber lined to resist the corrosive effects of the products carried and shaped to contain greater pressures.
The GWR had built 51 very similar four-wheel tank wagons between 1895 and 1911 for carrying oil, creosote and similar liquids for departmental use. These had basic top hatches with narrower top platforms and would be a straightforward conversion from these prints.
NOTES
These tanks are designed be mounted on a 12 foot wheel-base, 21 foot 6 inch over-headstocks chassis, such as this.
The end stanchions have 0.3mm pilot holes for tie and bracing rods, which should be made from handrail wire.
Two prints are offered, a single tank (Choose SMALL) or a pair (Choose LARGE).
Transfers for these wagons (and similar Arcton/Ammonia wagons) are available from Cambridge Custom Transfers.
