Milk trains became a familiar feature of the UK rail network as railways moved away from milk churns to bulk cylindrical tank designs mounted on railway underframes, improving hygiene and speed of delivery. Early wagons were two-axle, but these were soon replaced by more stable three-axle designs with internal baffles to reduce sloshing at speed. Vacuum-braked throughout, milk tanks remained a striking and essential part of mid-20th-century British freight operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57823955091840,"sku":"DAP-4F-031-144","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/e41238826d1f48ab8e45cdee1ebdedc8.png?v=1775560698","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/4f-031-144-6-wheel-milk-tanker-st-ivel-weathered","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
