The tanker didnt have a lot of paint left on it and had holes in the top and bottom of the tank, the yellow high side wagon had very little paint left on it and bent axles!

Hi the silver on the tiop of the tanker is just the tread plate and hatches painted I wanted to break up the blue a bit.

Ronson, Thanks for the reply. I obviously do not have nor had one of these Leyland Tankers. So I amend my previous comment of both Leylands. They both "LOOK FACTORY" to me. Excellent detailing. Fine pictures. Thanks for sharing. The only Leyland I had of Supertoy was a chassis. I better work on getting a complete truck. Again, they 'LOOK FACTORY". dinkyboy
