35T 'A' Tank - Esso Grey (Plain) - Pack 1 - OO Scale- Quad Pack

In the 1950s and 60s, these 35-ton tanks were the primary method for moving bulk liquids across the UK. Whether it was high-octane spirit or heavy industrial oil, these wagons were a constant presence in mixed freight and dedicated "block" trains. Our models capture the transition from the early steam-era designs to the sleek, modern era of rail freight, making them an essential addition to any mid-century or transition-era layout.

The beauty of a tank wagon lies in its plumbing. We have meticulously recreated the distinct differences between the Class 'A' (for highly flammable spirits) and the Class 'B' (for heavy oils, often featuring heating coils). Our models feature intricate discharge valves, delicate manhole covers, and authentic wire-braced ladders. With a weighted chassis for exceptional tracking, these tanks are designed to look as good as they perform.
