Some cattle van info:
The medium brown van with cattle inside has been available in normal Plarail sets since the 1970s
I've seen it with yellow and red wheels before
James came with the dark brown cattle van for many years, from his introduction to the 2003 redesign in Japan and from 1998 to the HiT Toys era of Trackmaster elsewhere. Later on it was used with other engines, I believe Fisher Price used it with Skarloey later on
The light brown with white roof comes from the new version of the giggling freight cars set
The blue one was available with Splatter in the HiT Toys era
And there were a ton of versions done for the various Thomas wagon packs they were doing a few years ago, too many to fit in one post
There is another version in the 25th anniversary pack with the shiny Thomas with the bow on his bufferbeam, for example

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
