You need to pop over to Bewdley at the Severn Valley Railway now and visit the last surviving (that we know of) external frame Siphon G before it goes in for restoration. Would be a great addition to go with this model.
@@tripwire3992 just google "Ackermann Liverpool Manchester Railway" and examine images. You will find images with 4 different trains. Find the consist with freight and examine each load. Milk is being carried on a flatbed that has fenced sides. The canisters of milk are upright. The Ackermann prints date to the early 1830s. Accurascale, in this video, give a later date for the inception of milk freight. Milk as freight dates at least to 1830s and possibly earlier!
I collect military railway models. I was excited to see the ambulance car but didn't order one. This was because 32 ambulance train had 14 coaches/cars, so one is pointless. They were never ran alone.
@@modelrailwaynoob Are you saying the siphon as depicted is inaccurate? Or you would just need to buy it, supporting the manufacturer, and hopefully more would be made to lengthen the train?
@James Thatcher It looks accurate for that car but to make a WWII ambulance train, you would need 14 of them and half of them would have been those and the other half converted coaches. I don't buy from any manufacturer to support them..They aren't charities. They make money from me and that's what they are in business for.
Great video and thanks to Paul and Accurascale for the detailed briefing. You guys are setting new standards for our hobby and value for our hobby. Keep up the good work
"Siphon G" is the categorization name given by the railways. Similarly "Coral A" was a wagon designed to carry sheet glass. These types of names permitted ease and accuracy of communication betwixt railway staff.
Thrilled with my GWR shirt button version. Museum quality.

I got myself a BR blue and an ambulance version. The ambulance looks really special.
Excellent video brilliant thankyou an awesome model
Terrific model Paul, very well done. My ancient Airfix & Lima models can be retired.
Milk churns being carried by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway were illustrated in the Ackermann prints.
Levi? Or Mikasa? Ackermann

@@WhatAboutTheBee This video doesn't give any date for the inception of milk freight and in any case is referring specifically to the GWR.
Cool 😎

Really good reason to encourage accurascale to not make more so :)
@James Thatcher There will ways be collectors and people that don't know or care about the history that will buy them James.
