Remembering the Rutland - Remembering the Milk Trains
Delaware Lackawanna & Western
42' Wood Milk Car
As modeled by Don Spiro.
Don Spiro modeled this HO scale DL&W wood milk car using a Railworks brass import. According to Don, "this car is from the earlier run that Railworks did a number of years back. You’ll see it is a bit different than the car recently offered either in the set with the Rutland combine or as a single car. Now I live in DL&W country and around here the earlier car is considered closer to the DL&W’s car..." Don took the photo in front of his scratchbuilt creamery based on the one at Grande Isle, Vermont.
