The TEA tanker was designed to take large loads of hazardous liquids from refineries to ports and storage facilities. With a loaded capacity of 100 tonnes, these wagons would often need to be pulled by double heading diesel locomotives. These long and imposing tank wagons are a must have for a late BR modeller.
This wagon is presented in a pristine finish, not that these wagons would look like that for long such as the nature of their dirty work and high milage.
