AberdeenBill Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Is this any help?49150 at Preston Docks.jpg Fantastic shot. If I'm reading the number of the right-hand van correctly as B880023, it's one of the extremely camera-shy diagram 1/240 9-foot wheelbase vans with steam pipe (hence Steam Banana branding). Any idea of the date of the photo? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
