ADDITIONAL NOTES.
British Rail operated a very large fleet of 36 ton Presflo Cement Tanks with 1952 vehicles built between 1955 and 1961. The vast majority ran in plain BR bauxite brown livery but some BR owned vehicles carried company branding like APCM, Blue Circle and Tunnel Cement, Crown Cement , Rugby Cement and Pozzolanic.
These smaller capacity wagons survived into the 1980's but the BR fleet was largely redundant by the mid 1980's with just APCM/Blue Circle still running their own vehicles of the same type numbered in the APCM 83xx to APCM 88xx series.
