Title: Grafar Metalair Tanks
Post by: scottishlocos on November 17, 2015, 06:47:39 PM
All

I am trying to find out if these type of tank wagons are used for any other traffic so far i have cement and bauxite.

Are there any other powdered chemicals these are used for

Thanks

Weren't all the Metalairs owned by Blue Circle (BCCxxxxx numbers)?

If so then I wouldn't have thought that they were used on much other than cement (unless they ended up in a common user pool)!

Cheers, Mike

Hi there,

The alumina tanks have a simnlar bodystyle but are longer and don't have Gloucester pedestal suspension units, so the chassis look fairly different.

cheers
