38-784 14T Anchor-Mounted Tank Wagon 'NCB' Black No.B.12 option-set-039 alternate number board colorEarly 14 Ton Tank Wagons with timber saddles, cradles and wire hawsers were built in response to the need for oil products to fuel Britains rapid development during the early twentieth century, along with two world wars. As the hostilities of World War Two drew to a close, a new design of tank with a central anchor mechanism securing the tank to the chassis was agreed between the private operators, the Petroleum Board and the railway companies.
