Hornby Motor Spirit Tank Wagon "BP", private owner rolling stock, 1927-30. A cream tank wagon with gold transfers and a bold red line underlining the BP name.
Development
Hornby’s range of petrol tank wagons started in 1922 with Shell tankers. Gradually, they expanded to have 13 different oil and petrol companies represented over the range’s prewar life. Shell and BP’s amalgamation led to an entirely redesigned model with both logos in 1936.
