Thanks Steven I have 9 with yellow above the bogies and 1 just black I cant remember where or how long ago I got the 9 it was several years ago but I only had the all black one recently .Its strange that someone would have swapped the chassis or painted them ,I am now even more puzzled,Do you think I should paint the yellow ones Black ?

Have you got a photo?

The only TEA tanks that Farish have released with yellow frames above each bogie is the BP Green ones (3708 or 373-561).

I suspect someone's swapped the tanks, or simply repainted the frames above the bogies.

Class A tanks (Low flash point) would generally have grey bodies with red solebars. Class B would be black. A broad orange band would indicate the wagon was carrying compressed/liquified gas.

It wasn't until the late 80s/early 90s that variations were permitted, allowing BP to paint their solebars yellow.

It is Amanda Lehmann singing! TBH I am not keen on her singing here but the track is good. I much prefer this...


She is playing guitar as well.

PS she is Steve Hackett's sister-in-law.

I think that is Amanda Lehmann on vocals which brightens that track up.

It is indeed her

Can any one tell me why some of these Farish Esso 100 ton  Black with Red band  tankers have yellow corners and some are just plain black.
Are some just older models or does it denote different fuel ?

Steve Hackett's 'Genesis Revisited '. Love this track. The ending drags a bit but I've always been a sucker for a crescendo

Haha, yeah, it's been that kind of day. I liked Bob as well.

You liked him so much you changed his name from John to Bob
