Milk Van Query
Hi all - my first post here and apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere - can anyone confirm if the MR milk churn van (diagram 416) ran on the M&GNs lines and would any have ended up in LNER hands if they did? If anyone is wondering yes I'm considering one of Connoisseur's lovely 7mm kits of this van.

Re: Milk Van Query
I don't know of any pictures of any although you'd probably need a Midland expert to give a definitive answer.
Can I suggest one of Dan Pinnock's GE/GN vehicles, or this little beauty from Bill Bedford (if he does it in 7mm)?

My goodness, that'll give a bit of rough ride - the milk will have turned into butter by the end of its journey

Re: Milk Van Query
It'll be ok - marshalled into the middle of a train and loaded carefully! Seriously though - thanks for the response. That lead me to mousa models who do this van in 7mm and another 4 wheel design
