Would think the best thing is to see what's available as they're not as common as they where.
Know a chap who was going to milk a few in a modified shipping container with bucket units haven't heard how he got on yet
 
A Facebook friend refurbished an old simplex bail to full working order, attached it to a trailer, and even got some fiberglass cows for it, it's fully working with vacuum pump, pulsators and coloured water running through it!
He's hoping to take it around shows as a working display.

Reminds me of my father milking in a Hosier bale we had , a step up from a single sided cowshed. Next came a Hosier 6/12 herringbone, which outstayed its welcome , till I put in a 16/32 which is now a 20/40 autoident!

You must be raking it in compared to your father with that little old bale. :)
