- Scale: OO Gauge (1:76 scale).
- Prototype: It represents the 6-wheel milk tanks that were developed in the 1930s to provide better stability at speed than their 4-wheel predecessors. The wagons were often attached to express passenger trains to ensure a quick delivery of fresh milk from farms to city bottling plants
