Three-D Modelling for Railways

I remember milk being delivered in an Express Dairies milk float as a kid. There used to be a line of three of them parked outside the nearby pub (itself a work-in-progress) after they had finished their rounds. D6 Electricar This is a D6, which is I think what I used to see, though I have not found much evidence Express Dairies used that model. It is kind of the classic model of milk float, and has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, including Father Ted . Nevertheless, I have not found out much about it at all. It was built by Morrison Electricar in 1966, and possibly as early as Septemer 1964, at their factory in Leicester, which later moved to Tredegar, Monmouthshire. The company went through a number of name changes, including Crompton Leyland Electricars Ltd. but was still making them in 1974.  The earlier D5, which seems to have been the model in 1964, had a flat windscreen , but was otherwise quite similar. The D4 looked quite different and may date from 1954? As far ...

This is a very small model, not much more than a centimeter high, but it turned out well. I was inspired by a phototype that seems to be almost a permanent fixture near where I work. Not sure if it is still useable, but seems in fairly good shape. This is a Ford 2600, which was produced from 1975 to 1981. I had a toy tractor as a kid that I think was one of these - it was blue and Ford and in that timeframe. Here is the model. Probably the most technical part was the tread on the rear wheels, which was done, in part, using geometry nodes to repeat the same mesh so many times round a circle.
