{"product_id":"14t-anchor-mounted-tank-wagon-fina-silver","title":"14T Anchor-Mounted Tank Wagon 'Fina' Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly 14 Ton Tank Wagons with timber saddles, cradles and wire hawsers were built in response to the need for oil products to fuel Britain’s rapid development during the early-twentieth century, along with two world wars. As the hostilities of World War Two drew to a close, a new design of tank with a central anchor mechanism securing the tank to the chassis was agreed between the private operators, the Petroleum Board and the railway companies. Construction of this new wagon did not pick up pace until the early-1950s, and with the introduction of larger, vacuum braked tank wagons during the late-1950s, the Anchor-Mount design soon became obsolete, and the final wagons of this type were built in 1963. This model depicts a silver ‘Fina’ branded example, built in 1951 by Charles Roberts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bachmann Branchline model covers both the Class A and Class B tanks and can be produced with several variations. As standard, each model features separately fitted brake gear and brake levers, along with the filler cap which includes the distinctive securing clamps. On the prototype the underframe was constructed from metal section, and this is replicated on the model affording an unobstructed view through the frames when observed from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003cbr\u003e\nEra 4\u003cbr\u003e\nPristine ‘Fina’ Silver livery\u003cbr\u003e\nRunning No. 155\u003cbr\u003e\nClass A Tank\u003cbr\u003e\nSpoked Wheels\u003cbr\u003e\nNEM Coupling Pockets\u003cbr\u003e\nLength 105mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436729557331,"sku":"38-781","price":32.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_38-781.jpg?v=1777287241","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/14t-anchor-mounted-tank-wagon-fina-silver","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
