Fresh off the workbench (as usual, that means almost but not quite finished!) in time for ExpoFest.
These two probably don't quite sit well together... geographically they both carried loads to or from the Hayle Wharf branch but the Esso tanks appear in late 1950s photos and the Bromine tanks around 1970.
The 14T class A tank is a 2mm Association kit with Alclad paint (thanks to Mark 46444 for the tip) and Cambridge Custom Transfers.
The Bromine tank is my own 3d print sat on a Parkwood Lowfit on a 2mm Association chassis. It's fair to say that this one is based on rather sketchy information in the form of less than ideal 1970s photos and some (hopefully) informed guesswork based on a slightly different design of tank for which a query on the RMWeb prototype questions forum managed to track down a drawing.
They still need some paint in places to touch in those securing chains and the places where the crud coloured enamel has rubbed off the Alclad while I was assembling the thing but I wanted to grab a photo while there was still some daylight. The 14T tank also needs its hold-down straps adding, but that will need to wait until after the Expo.
