Milk.....

Finishing 2013 with some milk tankers - a batch of six ex Dapol ones and one ex Lima one. I have added new couplings and rewheeled the Lima one.

 

First up two of the Dapol ones...

and a Dapol and the Lima one.

Although they have similar origins they are very different.

 

A couple of close ups - first the IMS tank side

Considering they are used for milk traffic I can't find many "clean" photos of these vehicles - I suppose this is down to the mileages they ran

hope these are Ok?

 

O gauge Western in process.

Happy new year.

 

Milk tanks were scrupulously steam cleaned on the inside after use but generally unspeakably filthy on the outside.

 

How do you find Dapol wheels? I have heard reports of them being prone to derailment.

Happy New Year St Enodoc!

 

Glad they cleaned the inside - the cleanest externally seemed to be the ST Ival White/Red liveried ones.

 

Checked out the Dapol wheels they look OK but these aren't for me - the Lima one has had Gibson lima replacements fitted...
