HO 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Model (ATH84720)

HO Scale 40-Foot Pfaudler Milk Car model is a detailed reproduction designed for HO scale layouts. It recreates a bulk-milk carrier from the 1920s, featuring two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks and a brine cooling system to keep milk at 38°F. In real service, these cars rode on passenger-car trucks and were often painted Pullman green to match the era’s passenger fleet.

For reliable operation on hobby layouts, the car uses screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted chassis for smooth handling. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide dependable coupling, while the injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with realistic paint and printing. It negotiates tight curves on layouts with an 11-inch minimum radius.
