Hi, Mick/Nobby? Yeah the Co-op is still on the Dapol site plus seven others, so plenty to choose from, I actually ordered two of their United Dairy tanks, many thanks to yourself and Graham for your help.

The Dapol milk tanks are fine little models.
However, they always ran in filthy external condition so to be accurate will require heavy weathering !

I bought ten of the shiny silver 'United Creameries' tanks for my modern rail-fed dairy :)

They will be rebranded as "Meadowfresh", my fictional dairy company, and will be staying shiny as by the 1990s they'd invented this thing called hygiene :D

Great little wagons and still one of my favourites :thumbsup:

"Meadowfresh" good name, sounds organic, you can put your prices up.  :)

Cheers

No problem, they wouldn't have had a website in 1990 :D

(what's a "website"?  ??? ) ;)

I am currently in the process of upgrading old stock and I love those Dapol six wheelers. A1 model, IMO  :thumbsup:

Hattons seem to have 4 different Dapol varities in stock for £11 a piece.
Its a very nice model.

Cow meadows  and organic seem very compatable.

The two United Dairy tanks arrived this morning, and as people have already said, they're pretty good, dare I say it almost cute :sick:
