Dapol 6‑Wheel Milk Tanker – IMS livery

This model represents a six‑wheel milk tanker used by dairy companies, with the chassis supplied by railway operators. It is fitted with NEM couplings and tension‑lock devices, and is capable of navigating a minimum curve radius of 1 chain. The model is supplied under the Dapol part number 4F‑031‑007.

The tankers were built between 1932 and 1948 by a variety of manufacturers, reflecting the practice of dairies owning the tank bodies while railways provided the chassis. The locomotive livery is that of Imperial Military Service (IMS).

The era portrayed by this model is the period of the Big Four British railway companies – the LNER, LMS, GWR and SR – which operated from 1923 to 1947.
