Here we have another former Dapol copy but this time based on a Lima design. It is a very delicately detailed model and the pale blue Albright & Wilson livery is most attractive. The first Hornby V-tank model arrived in 1997 and there have been many versions of it since then. This year's releases will bring the total to 28 over a period of 12 years. This is the second number carried by this livery which we first saw last year. The number is 'TRL9466' and the wagon carries Tiger Leasing branding. The real wagon is a Presflo used to transport sodium tripolyphosphate between Corkickle and West Thurrock prior to 1995. The white wheel is a handbrake control.
