His user name goes back to a very well known O gauge clockwork garden layout that his father had from the 1950's to the 1990's! Similar view.... There was a milk traffic flow to Stowmarket for a short time in the 1980's. One of those things I never bothered to photograph....

woodenhead Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Apologies, wow. I did look up Ipswich last night and also Exeter and the two did look very similar, I took it from the milk flow it had to be Exeter. Every day is a school day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich 1981 by Crewcastrian Sadly the Ipswich shot is the only one of the batch showing the milk tanks in active service on the short-lived Chard - Stowmarket service. After this service stopped, the MMB kept them stationed at various creameries in case of emergency for some years until they were scrapped. There is an interesting page on the subject here. http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/chard-juntion.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
