Weedkiller Train

With spring, hopefully, just around the corner, it was decided to make sure that the weedkiller train was in good order and in a state of readiness to deal with any unwanted weeds that we might find growing on the railway.

The train is topped and tailed by a couple of our Class 20 locomotives and consists of the following items of rolling stock:

Immediately behind the first loco are these two Bachmann Mk1 coaches in the Nomix-Chipman Weedkiller Grey livery.

These were produced as a coach pack by Bachmann for Kernow Models and have the Catalogue Nº 39-000P. 

Their Running Nºs are: CC99016 and CC99017.

Next come two TTA Water Tanks, again by Bachmann with Running Nºs 56963 and 56964. I believe there should also be a third tank, numbered 56365, but it is missing from our rake, for the moment.

The three tanks were issued as a set with the Catalogue Nº 37-576T.

The final items in the train are these three green Chipman Weed Control Tanks and black Water Tank, all by Heljan and issued as a set with the Catalogue Nº 1170.

The Running Nºs are: 115, 117, 120 and 48116, respectively.
