Modeling Milk Can Question?

Here's a photo of a mini scene I made on the NEB&W of a farmer loading milk cans. You can readily see the handles on the white metal cans...Bill Gill

Hi George, I like the color you posted of your well used Tichy milk cans. I have a question about Tichy's milk cans (I've emailed Tichy about them, have yet to hear back). His cans don't have any handles for lifting, Is there any kind of prototype for that? 

I ask because a while ago someone gave me a sprue of them and I'd like to mix them in with some of the white metal cans I have on a milk stand, but it would be near the front edge of the layout and the lack of handles on the cans is very obvious. I've considered the possibility of adding a pair of tiny styrene strips for handles before painting the can, but getting them all evenly located seems really challenging...Bill Gill.

The Tichy milk cans details are slim...I like the Jeneco milk cans and their details much better, but they are hard to find. I see you used some Juneco milk cans in your truck. The details are nice.

I don't think it is worth the effort to add details to Tichy milk cans as like you mention they would be hard to line up. One might consider actually figuring out a way of cutting grooves into the cans exactly in the same location as handles...some sort of jig...the indentation would look kind of like a handle when grouped. a handle on the lid is also needed. I don't mind the look of the Tichy milk cans as-is especially when grouped on a loading platform...George Dutka
