Cié Esso Tank Wagon - Pachet Quad - Pachetul 3

As you can see in the photo included of the dual IRM/Heljan (Accurajan, or Helirm, lol) branded box lid on these wagons, they are based on the origin Heljan 'A' Tank wagons. I have the cat #1155 pack (x2) in the Silver ESSO livery, and I'll renumber one box of four later down the line. I did want to get the other buff Grey livery packs, but they were already sold out. Anyway, these new packs are a model copy of those original Heljan sets with a few tweaks, and in the buff Grey ESSO livery. At first glance you'll notice the supports between the 'B' Tank and the sub frame run the lenght of the wagon. Other than just the two resting supports of 35t 'A' Tankers in the previous releases. I purchased all three 'B' Tank Quad packs with this current range in the buff Grey CIE 'ESSO' Oil Tanks with a Red sub frame livery. Later I may mix and match the 'A' and 'B' Tank wagons together for a longer rake. Yet again, they are a wonderful set with fine detailing, and sharp printed logo, and information panels, etc. They are definitely a worthwhile purchase, and I am very happy and I'm well pleased with this new production run albeit with a price increase of nearly £140 for these wagons, than the earlier 2026 Heljan bargain prices. Though with the multi-buy 10% off and my unused credit points, it whacked nearly £80 the total, a win, win result.

Amazing crafted wagons packed prefect the only thing that is missing is the information leaflets

amazing wagons 10/10

Excellent Tank Wagons , it was great to have pack three as i had thought that had escaped me .I had already purchased Pack One and Pack Two when they came out . So full rake now of 12.

Excellent models, so glad these were rereleased as I missed them first time around.

Lovely set of esso fuel tank wagons the detail is how I expected but didn't realise these were ex Heljan?? The chassis detail is spot on and the sprung buffers are a delight so buffering up is good , the only slight criticism I would have is that they would have benefited from a metal chasis and brass axle bearings as they are not free wheeling ? Have a rake of 20 of these and you could be into problems with running issues especially over paintwork or second radius curves ? Other than that the paintwork is superb and the lettering crisp and readable !!? Lovely set of wagons really

Absolutely fantastic models

Good quality model with accurate amendments to the British version extra bracing along the tank barrel where it joins the chassis, the four wagons have different numbers decorated to a very good standard.

Brilliant wagons, great detail

Excellent choice by AS to partner with Heljan to produce an Irish variant of these tankers. Look the business behind the A class.
