6-Wheel Milk Tank Wagons RTR

Through the 1930s larger country dairies were built, collecting milk from farms and allowing milk to be despatched to the city bottling plant terminals in bulk, instead of using the old, small-capacity churns. To accommodate the increasing volume of milk being moved tank wagons were built with glass-lined tanks to ensure cleanliness and 6-wheeled chassis suitable for running long distances and at passenger train speeds.
The railway companies developed regular schedules for the milk services, ranging from dedicated block trains along the main line, through local mainline passenger services collecting and forwarding the tanks to single wagons travelling behind the branch lines passenger train. Each movement was carefully timetabled to ensure the loaded tanks reached the bottling plant the same day and a similar number of empty tanks reached the country dairies. A useful and prototypical source of traffic for layouts of any size in almost any setting.
