Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Express Dairies model, early livery, in 1:76 scale. The model carries the manufacturer part number 76WE005 and depicts British Railways in its late crest period, representing the post‑war era of the mid‑1950s.

The subject of the model is a standard milk float that was produced by Wales & Edwards, one of the leading British manufacturers of milk floats in the twentieth century. Other notable manufacturers of the type included Smith's, Osborne, Harbilt, Brush, Bedford and Leyland.

This die‑cast replica reproduces the distinctive styling and colour scheme of the original Wales & Edwards milk float as it would have appeared in service for the Express Dairies network.
