Folks,

Since I haven't seen any postings on this, I thought I would share these.  Roundhouse aka Athearn has released some new models of the Pfaudler 40' wood milk tank cars.  Links are provided to the two I purchased - Borden's and Alderney Dairy.  These cars are new tooling and are very nicely done with separately applied hand grabs and ladders, metal wheel sets and Kadee style couplers.  Assembled, they cost $20 at Caboose Hobbies.

Based on various photos, at least the Borden's and Alderney cars were handled on the DL&W.  Bob Bahrs "Railway Milk Cars - Volume 4" has several photos of the Borden's cars on pages 14, 21 and 22.  The Alderney car is shown on the Sussex Branch on page 7.  These cars may have also shown up on train 47 on the mainline as well.
