@Jlk2707 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it...Bob

I think they'll need a few hours wire brushing by some willing volunteers, but they certainly look in good nick considering the time spent standing idle, maybe the tar helped to preserve them?, they ran off the wagon without a squeak, great video Bob, cheers.

@noelist These are rare vehicles of which not many are preserved Leon, and as you say the oil and grime will presreve them for a few more years...Bob

Another unusual and good vid, nice to see the tanks beat the scrapyard. I noticed the greenery, on the rear tank, as the tanks approached the railway - done on purpose/or a dive into a tree, who knows!

@MG06ZT These have been standing in the open for over twenty years Keith, and still in amazing condition ...Thanks for your support....Bob
