I agree on more the express Dairy's in dark blue I'd also since you do this wagon in OO will you shrink this United Dsires SR into N sometime soon1 Photo

Have any Express Dairy tanks been done in silver? If not then it would be a good variation to have (particularly if weathered!).
Cheers, Mike

I'd love some more of these to match my set with the Green Class 22 - any chance Dapol might consider releasing another six-pack without the locomotive with different running numbers?

Are there any images available of the next batch of these wagons which appear to be on the way? I would like to pre-order some but I would like to see some pictures first. Thanks.

Hi Gerry, Thanks for that, Found a list on Hattons site, not quite as detailed. Interesting to note though that that 2F-031-011 "Unigate Creameries Ltd" Is 70351(I have this on my desk in front of me as I type this), now they're saying it's united Creameries in the same sequence, but having seen a picture in a David Larkin Book, the 703?? sequence is dedicated to "Unigate Creameries Ltd", it'll be interesting to see what actually appears?? Chris PS (they also used 70346 + 70349 on their OO wagons as "Unigate Creameries Ltd).

Hope The Dapol team are reading this as I'd like to "Bump"/Nudge them as to my earlier post #5.1 as I believe this would also be applicable at this time. Chris.

We will put some pictures of the production versions out soon.

Hi Dapol,
I really liked the weathering applied to the milk tankers in the class 22 box sets (so much that I ended buying 3 lots, just for the tankers). It is far ahead of the brown spray on the earlier Hymek sets.
However it is also much lighter than many of these vehicles in actual service. How about producing some milk tankers weathered in the same way as your silver bullets? Actually make the dirt and patina part of the applied paint. The picture below at Hemyock captures the sort of finish I have in mind and was typical of milk tankers in the 60s and 70s.

Good to have some new milk tanks. 017 has no running number though. still some liveries to do -United Dairies with green lettering (4f-031-027?) and CWS in red livery (7f-031-002?. Like wise with growth of interest in departmental stock) Satlink Western (as in OO) and Diesel Fuel only (as in OO) may be of interest -perhaps as Club specials initially. Art work has been done -just needs reducing to N!

I've just received some of the latest batch of these and very nice they are too. I couldn't help noticing that the United Creameries (silver) tankers (2F-031-016) actually have "Unigate Creameries" labels on the tank barrel. I'm not too bothered about this but I expect some people might be.Last edited by Western Cyclist; 13 August 2019, 12:11.
