TRAIN TIME: Hornby BP Shell Petrol Wagon ca1936 With Repainted Base

Here's another Prewar wagon which came with my M0 Goods Set. For me, it was interesting to see it lettered for 'SHELL' on one side and 'BP' on the other. Here Stateside, generally speaking, if there are two companies (like a parent company and subsidiary) lettered on a car, the lettering for both would be on both sides. The experts at the Hornby HRCA fb group have stated that the base has probably been repainted as original bases were red. Okay! Welll, maybe the base was a wreck and someone saved it, which would ring true as the tank itself normally would have been a brighter shade of yellow instead of the faded piece you see here. Whatever happened, as long as I know it's a repaint I'm okay with it. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
