Hi Ron, looking good and, as usual, awe inspiring !!!!!!!!!!
The following is a rail traffic suggestion for fellow Trainz milk delivery modellers working on 1950s branch lines around the country.
In December 1950, the Commonwealth's State Grants (Milk for School Children) Act was passed and by October 1951 all Australian states, with the exception of Queensland were participating in the scheme. In Queensland, an Agreement was later signed and the scheme began operating in the greater Brisbane area on 3 March 1953. The scheme was extended later that year to country centres and it was estimated that 150 000 Queensland school children were consuming 30 000 gallons of free milk each week. http://education.qld.gov.au/library/edhistory/topics/milk.html
Some of that was rail and some road transported. The Trainz solution maybe is to add a few more milk tankers to the branch line mixed goods!!

Hello Everyone;
@Petan, As far as my knowladge and recalling from re-collections of my twin Cousins Andrew who was a Queensland Railways Driver & John, a Guard; both worked for 52 years with the department from 1946 to 1999. As John was telling me when I last visited him in April, that QR when they started to convey the milk for the Education Department Contract in Milk Churns which were reguarlly picked up along the way in the Guards Van or loaded at pre-arranged pick up point. He was telling me when in 1958, when he was rostered on a Ravenshoe Goods, and he was required to meet a dairy deliverly truck at at Atherton to convey Milk for the school students at the Ravenshoe State School at 3:15 in the morning, loading the churns would have been placed in the guards compartment in the upright position; he was required by order to drop off the churns at points where schoolmasters would collect their allocated churn for their school, which took some time but the drivers always [tried] to keep to the shedual but where a little regulator happy. The arrival in Ravenshoe would have been at 5:25am. Where the schoolmaster would be waiting in his Beat up old Model T Ford with homemade box trailer to convey the milk for the students, where school would have started around 8:30. All the crew got the day off and got time to rest after their shift in the railway barracks.
Don't quote me on this but, I am not certain on weither QR had Milk Tankers - but I understand from looking at drawings at the Qld State Archives from the very early days of QR, they did have 4 wheeled tanker wagons from 1866 but I am not certain, so I shall double check for all that is interested.
Kindest Regards

Seems above not exactly true although from a government website. Parmalat / Pauls milk's own website says school milk, not free, dates from at least 1928, although 1951 may have been the FREE milk date and following Parmalat history website may interest some who want to do a Trainz simulator version of milk delivery from farm to factory as it has historical road milk tanker images as well as text.
http://parmalat.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=429&Itemid=22
If URL link broken, search the history section of the Parmalat website or the website of your Local milk producer
EDIT; sorted out the free school milk date of 1951 and earlier school milk intro date before it was free. No real difference for Trainz as we mainly model the transport section and don't care if free school milk or not as can't model the kid paying money for the milk or those small milk bottles and wire milk crates I had at school in Brisbane in the 1950s.
