Manufacturer description

A new addition to the range of OO scale rolling stock produced exclusively for members of the Bachmann Collectors Club comes in the form of this 45T TTA Tank Wagon, in Gulf’s attractive Grey & Orange livery.

Gulf Oil (GB) Ltd started operating rail tank wagons in Britain around 1960, initially using second-hand 14T Anchor mounted tank wagons from the 1950s. By the mid-1960s Gulf had placed orders for new tank wagons, these being the more contemporary TTA 4-wheel tanks and later, the larger TEA bogie tanks with the attractive grey and orange colour scheme featuring prominently on the latter. The wagons operated primarily from the Gulf refinery at Milford Haven, where they moved almost 1/4 of the plant’s output around the UK by rail, whilst 3/4 was moved by sea.
