Joined: 04/06/2009(UTC) Posts: 20,240 Location: Scotland		Hi Mike, That one is number 79....but there's a bit of a story. Bought it, paid for it, my usual Paypal and then unfortunately the seller was rushed to hospital. I've dealt with the seller before (many times ) so I'm sure all will be worked out ok. I've had a couple of e-mails, seller is on the mend, and purchase(s) will be posted next week. Ian.

Hi Ian, Given that clue, my guess i Herkat based on their 2012 catalog where they show "Bierwagen" that doubles as track cleaning wagons (on the second page). The same model could have been issued as a banana wagon.

It looks so good I have to ask, is it new or pre owned? I think BN could do with one as well Mike

Joined: 19/04/2011(UTC) Posts: 34 Location: USA		I understand Ian's obsession with banana wagons... they're cool cars. But what about the manufacturers? Why have so many banana wagons been built? Are the railways of Europe covered with banana unit trains like the coal unit trains here in the US? What was the first model banana wagon that's known? Ian, what's the earliest in your collection?
