I can't think of many stations that have an Abbey right next to it. I'm surprised that it has never inspired an Rev Awdry story where Thomas smashes into the Abbey interrupting a wedding or christening! Quote I'm surprised that it has never inspired an Rev Awdry story where Thomas smashes into the Abbey interrupting a wedding or christening! Wasn't that the special one where Daisy & Dirty Diesel were, err, getting hitched, and Thomas crashed in, shouting "It should have been me!" 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I'd never even heard of the brand Algeco until I saw this picture although it seems that Peco have actually made wagons based on this tanker. Mirfield 1966 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Algeco leased rolling stock, possibly only tanks - not sure. The rolling stock business was taken over by VTG in the early 2000s according to https://www.vtg.com/about-vtg/history but the company name lives on as part of modular buildings operator Modulaire Group 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It’s quite some ‘landscape’ where the logo on a tank wagon is about the only bright spot in the grime and gloom. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted April 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) If I've ever given any thought to it at all, I guess I've supposed that Algeco's business was Algerian oil, but it seems it's never had anything to do with Algeria. The name comes from "Alliance de Gestion Commerciale" and its logo is "timeless and iconic" according to: https://www.grapheine.com/en/logo-news/algeco-logo-iconic-timeless-brand-identities Edited April 17, 2022 by Andy Kirkham 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
