United Molasses replaced their fleet of unfitted tank wagons during the early 1970s with vacuum brake wagons hired from Tiger Railcar. These had been class B wagons used for fuel oil by Gulf, Charringtons and others. Those at Wellingborough were out of use Notice that the design varies between batches and the blue ends appear to correspond with painting the TOPS number beneath the left hand logo. For modellers the Airfix/Dapol Esso tank may be a suitable starter. Heljan have finished models in both 4 and 7mm as these.
