This has aroused a certain amount of controversy in France as they feature a slightly comic Senagales soldier, raising charges of racism. An analogy in the UK would be the Robertson's golly as once featured on jars of marmalade. Bob M.

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,763 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi Ian, Thanks for the pictures of the banana vans. They all look the same to me (not being racist mind you). I have one banana van, and that was part of a set #47904 produced by Marklin in 2002-2004. I notice that most available banana vans seem to be the blue box or similar vintage. I would really like to see more banana vans, but with kinematic coupling. So I did some research. Sets or cars produced by Marklin in the last 10 years with banana vans are: 00755 (individually packed cars, relex couplers), 47331, 48759, and 48786. I cannot find any Trix equivalents. regards Kimball
