HO 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Alderney Dairy #103 (ATH84716)

HO scale 40-foot Pfaudler Milk Car, Alderney Dairy #103, is a detailed replica of a 1920s bulk-milk carrier designed to haul dairy shipments on HO model railroads.

Designed for reliable HO-scale operation, it features screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight tuned for smooth tracking. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic handling with other period rolling stock. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with authentic painting and printing for a convincing dairy-era look, and a minimum 11-inch radius ensures it navigates typical layout curves. Historically, these milk cars were built around two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks with a brine cooling system to keep milk at 38°F and were often finished in Pullman green to match passenger cars of the era, hauling bulk shipments into the 1950s.
