A 1939 advert for Milbro model railway rolling stock cartoon of a smiling railway locomotive with speech bubble: "Build your own railway wagons".

" Half the fun of running your rolling stock is the knowledge that you have built it yourself. Milbro true-to-scale replicas of Cattle Wagons, Box Wagons, Open Wagons, etc., are supplied with working blue print for easy assembly. it's cheaper to buy them this way, too, than ready assembled "
MEAT VANS
" A fine reproduction of its prototype, made from best quality seasoned timber "

Large text at bottom of advert reads: " MilbrO / True-To-Scale / replicas for reliability "

Also illustrated with a photograph of a wooden wagon painted with the words "LMS MEAT", and a lineart sketch of a line of three wagons, one of which has a cartoon cow poking its head out through an opening.
