Peco N NR-P168 Milk Tank Wagon Express Dairies

Express Dairies 4 wheel bulk milk tank wagon.
The construction of country dairy plants allowed milk to be forwarded to city depots in bulk instead of in small individual churns. These milk tank wagons were built using the base design of the oil tank wagons then in use, though intended to run in faster stopping passenger and parcels trains. The 4 wheel chassis proved unsuited to this and a 6-wheeled design became standard for milk tank wagons.
This model recreates one of the early wagons, some of which could be used on shorter distance deliveries where speeds was less important.
