Tidmouth Milk Tanker's: R105, Also Found in R9299 and in R9704

[NWR-Gordon-4]

Yeah, I have noticed this. Several versions of the Tidmouth Milk Tanker have been produced. Logo on the Britain made model were different, first version of China model made around 1997 became bigger, but not painted in the middle of the tanker, then in 2012, the logo was painted in the middle with a darker blue colour. The Tidmouth Milk Tanker found in R9299 has the same logo has the 2012, but painted with a lighter blue.

 

The tanker always had 3 hole wheels until 2012 to current day, where they were changed to having spoked. Even the Oil and the Sodor Fuel Taner have spoked wheels in R9299. Tanker's look better with 3 hole wheels.

Thanks for the images, new lad on block.  😀

 

The Tidmouth Milk Tanker is the wagon that's had the most change, since it's first releas, in 1985, - 2015!  😆

 

One Tidmouth Milk Tabnker you are missing, is the red one.

 

I don't have any Britain built Blue Tidmouth Milk Tanker's. I ought to get some, but I already have nine of them, excluding the three red's, that I have.

 

Until 2015, the white on the Tidmouh Milk Tanker has always been coloured plastic, none painted (Apart from the logo). However the Tidmouth Milk Tanker in R9299 Tanker Triple Pack from 2015, the most recent Tidmouth Tanker one can currently buy (Or not buy, due to it being rare 😆) the white on it is painted on, in a frosty white, which is a nice colour. these will add a bit of different taste, in my Tidmouth Milk train!  😆

I bought my first blue lettered Tidmouth Milk Tanker, made in GB last week, on eBay. It appears to be the same as your one, new lad on block. Just need two more blue Britain built Tidmouth Milk Tanker's and then I will leave my Tidmouth Milk Tanker's collection alone, unless anymore variants get released in the future.

You did an first-rate job with those tankers. I would similar to to recognize what sort of paint you used on the vans, the coloration looks very correct to the LNER vans from the traditional series. Plow Bender Studios can you make custom n scale green Express coaches so James can pull them?
