These tank cars were built by Clyde Engineering for the "Commonwealth Oil Refinery" (C.O.R.) in Victoria during 1954-1955, C.O.R. was later to become BP. The design was the same as the NSW Tulloch 10,000 tank cars which use the standard riveted underframe. The tanks varied from single, double and triple domes and single, double or triple compartments.

This is a set of 3 double bogie HO Scale VTQF series 3 dome single compartment oil tank cars as used in Victoria by ANR and BP around 1992.
