0 Riversuir226 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Im 99.9% sure there the same as the taras, the difference is they have a support rib higher up on the body. Dimensions are 13cm excluding buffers long by 3.2cm wide, height 2.8cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BosKonay Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you'd like to hit me up with the drawings, I can add them to http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/316-freight-stock_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Glenderg Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Dimensions are 13cm excluding buffers long by 3.2cm wide, height 2.8cm Sure about those dimensions? Not saying the measurements below are bang on, but it appears to be taller that it is wide. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iarnrod Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Looking for shale and two bagged cement variant drawings if anyone has them. Willing to reimburse any costs associated with providing me with a copy. Richie - I'm nearly sure that length wise and width wise, the shale and Tara wagons are identical as seem to be based on the same basic wagon design. Not too sure about the height though as only have pics of shale with a 141/181 loco, but height of shale wagon top surround metal strip comes just above the top white line at the side cab window on an IE liveried 141/181 class loco.

0 Glenderg Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Shale Wagons: I made up this "profile" of the shale wagons from a video I took coming outta Limerick. Kid. None of the panels are the same size it would appear, the central ones being slightly wider. Tara Mines: Anto took this photo, and mighty useful it is. The outer spars are beefy, the central ones thinner. But the differences between the two wagons is clear. All I need now is someone to confirm the dimensions, and I'll do a drawing of both. Richie.

0 iarnrod Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good pics Richie. Both wagons look to be same length which is a start. I will hopefully have a drawing of the Tara wagons shortly, so will be in a position to confirm measurements for that wagon type then. Also, note the two panels at the end i.e. the panel with the wagon number painted on also are slightly thinner than the other panels.

Tara roof 3mm thick x 34mm wide x 130mm long(flat roof) has 40 bars across the top 1.5mm wide, gap 1.5mm Gaps between braces on wagons vary between 10mm to 13mm wide. The shale wagon differs with the horizontal strengthening bar is between 1.5mm & 2mm thick, height above base approx 9mm with the next horizontal bar(smaller to the side) approx 1.5 to 2mm higher up.
