Description
Meccano Shell Oil Carriage in good working condition
This was a particular model made by Hornby, which is a brand known for model trains, and Meccano, a brand associated with construction sets. The Shell Oil Carriage is a specific type of model railway wagon produced by Hornby, likely as part of their railway rolling stock lineup.
The Shell Oil Carriage would have been a livery (decorated with the Shell Oil logo) applied to a railway carriage that could be used with model train sets. This was a common practice for both Hornby and other model train manufacturers, offering themed carriages for enthusiasts.
Hornby and Meccano had a close connection, as Hornby was once part of the Meccano company, and they often released products that combined the two brands’ themes. The Shell Oil Carriage likely featured the classic yellow and red colors associated with Shell’s branding, a popular theme for model trains.
