R15 MILK TANK WAGON 1954-1975
The Triang R15 Milk Tank Wagon entered the range in 1954, although it had been intended to release it in 1953. For the first four years the UD was in the form of transfers and from 1958 they were heat printed. The wagon was the only early tank design to be fitted with a ladder. It was produced in hundreds of thousands until it was replaced by a newer design in 1976 (R007).

My wagon from this time period is no longer heat printed, so it may have been the very early tampo printing.
