Description
00 Gauge, 1:76, 4mm/Foot
GWR Siphon J -
Siphons were constructed for the conveyance of milk in 17 gallon churns. The Siphon J was the last version and used frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) within an insulated body to keep the milk cool.
These were built to Diagram O.31/40 between 1931-4 and lasted until the early 1960s, with one lasting until 1969.

Stafford Road Model Works
Railway modelling is very much a hobby of mine, and having created 3D printed models and components for my own use, I felt some might be useful to other modelers. I have therefore created this shop to give fellow enthusiasts the opportunity to order my models from I.materialise following Shapeways closure. The items available range from kits requiring several prints to individual components designed to add detail or variety to proprietary models produced by major manufacturers. Unless otherwise stated the models below are for 1:76 (4mm/foot) scale in "00" gauge.
