27 ton Cable Compound Tank Wagon.
DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE., Location : York Locomotive Holding Sidings., Date : 03/05/1988., Type : Cable Compound Tank Wagon., Weight : 27 t GLW / 13.2 t Tare., Number : ADB 749350., Number Series : B 749350., Builder : 1952 by BR Derby Works., TOPS Code : ZRV., Lot no. : 2306., Diagram no. : 1/303., , ADDITIONAL NOTES., This former 3000 gallon 14 ton capacity Cable Compound Tank Wagon was operated by Scottish Cables Ltd of Renfrew and was very unusual in being a British Railways built tank wagon for private owner use. The vehicle was built by BR to an LMSR design used for milk tankers., Scottish Cables Ltd had a private siding in Renfrew near Glasgow but where the vehicle worked to and from I have no information. It may have been used to the nearby Clyde Rubber Co. hence the need for only one vehicle I believe the product carried was Latex Rubber and the tank may possibly had provision for steam heating to ease discharge of the load but comment would be welcome on this one., After passing into departmental stock the tank saw further use at Healey Mills Diesel Depot probably for waste oil. It is lettered "Healey Mills MPD Shell Talonia 945". Is anybody in Flickr land able to enlighten me as to what Shell Talonia 945 is ?
