British Rail Weed Killer Train

Weed killer trains are rare, although most people have heard of the Chipman or Fisons consists. But there was another one, the British Rail weed killer train, which is little modelled.

This train existed from 1961 to 1988 although its constituent vehicles were replaced from time to time. The models below represent the 1965 to 1984 train which included a converted Gresley open brake.
