0 djkonore Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Cool, thanks lads. I have a rake of British Shell/BP wagons. I might try and move the ladders at the front, around to the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 djkonore Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks Dave, I have a rake of 8 of these lads http://www.ehattons.com/52670/Bachmann_UK_37_582C_45_Ton_TTA_Tank_Wagon_Shell_Black/StockDetail.aspx and a set of these transfers from Weshty http://www.studio-scale-models.com/img/F9.JPG I've removed the original transfers from a few the wagons already, then I was planing on relocating the ladders, if I can. I guess I'll have to do both ladders so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Were there oil and molasses wagons one of the same http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20S/Sallins/slides/Sallins_20100811_001_CC_JA.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest hidden-agenda Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Its probably going to be a bit of a job getting the ladders off in one piece you may want to get some of this to replace it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AB11-Pack-6-OO-Gauge-Brass-Ladders-/370592588114?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item56490a2152#ht_826wt_1163 Regards Gareth.

0 Eiretrains Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes they were bud i dont know the history behind it but i suspect some one will tell us. I believe they were; reported in the IRRS June '93 journal [New Freight Traffic: 22 oil wagons have been modified to carry molasses in bulk from Foynes. This traffic started in early 1993 on an occasional basis to Mullingar...] I might assume at the time that some of these oil tank wagons were surplus from the previous cessation of traffic to Oranmore, Foynes, Drogheda etc..

0 aramand Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Dont mean to hijack your thread but I've been looking for some Irish freight and also some practice at kit-building so think this might be a good place to start! Just ordered 2 of the C034 kits from ebay so must work on getting the transfers now! Might start my first workbench thread when they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Garfield Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Would love if somebody (*cough* Weshty? *cough*) could produce a detailing kit for the tankers, specifically the ladders and walkways, as the walkways supplied with the kit aren't quite right and the plastic ladder looks a bit too chunky. Maybe also an option for the two different types of skirting that run along the base of the tank...

And what do you need in them? Ladders x 2 Walkway x 1 Skirting (two types?? Do elaborate good sir....) photos will help. No promises mind. A few things to sort out in the next short while first :-))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess anyone looking for the kits would need enough to make a full rake - same as the bubbles, I'd say. Re. skirting, I guess only one type had what you'd call 'skirting', but it's really bracing for the tank. Both types can be seen in this shot: http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20F/Foynes/slides/Foynes_20100818_002_CC_JA.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
