I also have NB-115A Co-op 174 and NB-032 CWS, although I don't know if they are still available

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 !

Yes I heard that too, mine will have to be ex works, at least for a little while. Nice and shiny

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

Great little wagons and still one of my favourites

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

Just tried www.meadowfresh.co.uk to see if the web address was available. Sadly not

- it's a butchers!

Cheers

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

(what's a "website"?

)

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

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
