Well, by expensive, I mean 15 euros or so. But you seem to grab the really good deals only.

Matt,
These are from Warbase.
The goods wagon is £4.50. It could easily be cut down to a milk cart . Or replace the wheels with tyred wheels.
I'm not a big fan of their lorries( not for the obvious reasons,but for the over use of MDF. For parts that would be better in thinner materials)
But I do like they're carts and wagons ,worth the money.
The Sarrisa (painted wagon) has the edge as its from more experienced designers but its nearly twice the price at £7.50. Either route is ,with postage going to come in close to your €15 limit.
Having said that you could knock your own up in plasticard in under an hour,and re use some old tyred wheels.

I have plenty of larger spare tyred wheels... but were those really common on 30's horse-drawn delivery wagons? From what I could tell that was a wartime change or close to it. In any case I really just want cart wheels rather than tyres.

Loving that model T conversion.

No doubting Cart wheels would expand the number of time periods,you could use it for. Which is the option I'd choose too.
Tyres were available post WW1 and quite easy to find in the UK, still they werent  common nor were they uncommon.By the mid thirties the carts were being replaced with electric floats.WW2 and then post war economics
 interrupted and slowed its progression until the late 50's early 60's(I know you can't get much more nerdy.I comes from all this museum work. It's amazing what 'rubbish' you come across)

Awesome painting, love the vehicles. I do have to ask though is the milk man Ernie? 

[tin shed gamer]

No if memory serves he'd been doing his 11+ round about then.

The more I think about it. I'd love to see you make one.I recon you could make an entire dairy before ,you'd get a kit to your neck of the woods.

Perfectionist bonus round - I went and did it! (adding an actual windscreen, and also trimming the windscreen frame slightly to better shape the roof and make it scale better)
