Comments

New in 1959 (Shell) and 1970 (Elf).

Three units, one of which was recently given to me by a friend, in original version with Jouef couplers and plastic wheels.

The Elf wagon, although more detailed (representation of the rivets), had a big defect of moulding: the two half-tanks were shifted. I had to sand and repaint the ends to hide this horror.

Modifications

Bogie pivots reinforced; Bachmann RP25 ⌀ 9.6 NMRA wheels; openwork bogies.

History
