Thanks Clive & Fat Controller

They look like standard 45t GLW tanks (except the first, which looks like the earlier 35t GLW type) carrying Class A liquids, as Clive has just said... The two goods vans are barrier vehicles, mandatory for Class A liquids at this time whilst the brake van is there to reduce the shunting (a double run-round) at the terminal; there'll be another one at the other end. The absence of identifying labels is unusual, as the oil companies were keen on advertising their wares at this time; I wonder if they could belong to, or be leased by, Carless, for traffic from Harwich, as they went for painted lettering on the tank, rather than the separate boards used by others.

Thanks chaps for commenting on the tank wagons in Chris picture of  2 x Cl 15  at Bury St Edmunds in 1968 .  I suspect FC you may well be right  as the Carless refinery had open at Harwich in 1964   see attached link  for shot of some old MP and a 1960's Carless lorry.      http://fueloilnews.co.uk/2014/06/a-golden-moment-for-hcs-harwich-refinery/

Thanks to Chris for the thread.
