Hi All.
Someone out there is sure to be able to help me with this one.
I would like to build a model of a 6500 7 pot trailer and am looking for any photos or better still pointing in the direction where I might find one to photograph and run a tape measure over.
Used to work for Biss Bros and would like to re create the F88 and trailer I used to drive.
Thanks All.
Balloonie.
Are these any use to you both 7 pot spirit tanks ran by Sadler Tankers on Phillips contract.
Hi John.
They are a bit longer than the 70s ones and have an axle to many but will download them into a file to keep just in case nothing else turns up.
There is a tanker trailer beside the A1 that I want to have a look at next time I am that way.
Thanks for the help.
Balloonie.

That hits the spot John.
Big supers, no side guards and tandem

It certainly does Mal I remember Roger T running these when Townsons were on Esso T/Park.(Happy Days)
Hi All.
Thanks for the replies, they all help.
Stanfield. Don’t suppose the ex esso is still there, wherever there is?

Stopped yesterday and had a look at that trailer at Foxton on the A1 and I think it was an old Tar trailer, it is a single pot probably 5000 gal. Bugger thought I had cracked it with that one. Mailed the yard at Rush Green last week asking if I could go and have a look at the one they have but never got a reply so back to the drawing board, also mailed a company up Durham way about one they had and never got a reply from them ether.
Keep looking though.

Is this any use? Not a 7potter but definitely the period your looking for.
I’ve got quite a few shots of it if needed.Regards Kev.
