HO 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Alderney Dairy #104 (ATH84717)

HO-scale 40-foot Pfaudler Milk Car, Alderney Dairy #104, is a historically accurate model designed to portray bulk-milk shipments from the 1920s through the 1950s on HO layouts. It brings authentic dairy-era freight realism to a modern railroad scene with period-appropriate detailing and decoration.

Key features include screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weighting for reliable tracking, plus body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and is painted and printed for lifelike decoration. Minimum radius is 11 inches to clear typical HO curves. Prototype notes describe two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks and a brine cooling system designed to keep milk at 38 degrees Fahrenheit, with the cars riding on passenger-car trucks and often finished in Pullman green, reflecting dairy-service cars that remained in service into the 1950s.
