R60105 Hornby Shellstar Fertilisers 82T Procor 'Palvan'

[Windjabbers]

 I'm trying to work out when these wagons carried this livery? I remember them in the 1980's but don't recall this the Shellstar logo?

 

I assume that this was there first version of the livery carried in the 1970's, but wondering did any wagons last into the 1980's with this version. The lastest picture I can find is 1981.

 

Thanks

David

Couple of good threads on this forum as already about these vans , I found them by searching on Google for PWA wagons 

 

Sorry cut and paste is beyond me on this phone :-)

My recollection is that the 'Shellstar'-liveried wagons had curtain sides, unlike the hinged doors on those examples seen in the 1970s.

Such a shame they didn’t update the wagon to NEM pockets rather than the original Lima couplings (that put a scale mile and a half between the wagons)!

The bogies are abysmal , the tank bogies are more convincing!
