Arran Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Looks nice,is it 40ft? HI All Just landed are the Transamerican spider tanks and the Freightliner 40ft reds. Regards Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Can you give an approximate time period when these were in use? I hope to put some on SSM 42' flats but don't much much about the containers themselves, Freightliner looks great:cheers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The Freightliners were in use during the 80s and very early 90s. Those Transamerican spiders I have never seen on any Irish train ever. Some BLS and Bruhn spiders would nice for modern IWT liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave182 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Freightliners were especially prevalent on liners between Dublin and Belfast for a period, due to a dispute of some sort. It's mentioned here on the site somewhere. (Freightliner falling out with Sealink, or Sealink falling out with one of the ports maybe?) Arran, are the Transamerican spiders 00 or ho scale?

MOGUL Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have to agree with Railer, I don't think the Transamerica spider tanks are that common in Ireland.. In fact the only spider tanks I can think of are the Agmark ones that you sometimes see in 1s and 2s on the IWT, Arran any chance of these?? Nice simple livery!

Railer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 He does some nice GCA Tanktainers that are not listed on his site but feature on the rolling banner. I asked him about them about 2 months back and sold be the last 6 he had, they look well and are very regular on the IWT over the past 6 or so years. Some Dana tanktainers would be good for modeling DFDS liners, always to be found lately in the pocket wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 HI All I don't have any info on Dana tanks, and I mean good quality pics you can work from not just images of the web. Also good pics of B+I 20ft containers to as they would go well with the bells and any RTR container chassis I am sure will follow from some?

BosKonay Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think what Arran is saying - Anyone with good, clear profile images of the Dana tanks (and one might assume the B&I_ get them over to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANA tanks below, will try and source more but can't seem to PM these to Arran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think @Arran produces them as part of his superb range? They seem to have been common around the country maybe 15 years ago but impossible to source? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Not my era but a quick trawl on Flickr will turn them up between at least 2009 and 2018 on 20', 42' flats and in pocket wagons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The DANA tanks were mainly on the Waterford Belview to Ballina liners. Sometimes the liners were only DANA tanks and nothing else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The DANA tanks were around in 2004 in North Wall too looking at @ Ernie's Railway Archive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dana tanks around since the early 2000s when Ballina Beverages opened.. The used to run Cork-North Wall, North Wall-Ballina before IE ended the unit load service.. The traffic then transferred to Norfolk line Waterford to Ballina and was on it till the end.. the Dana tanks also appear on IWT liners but from the Uk rather than Cork 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "tank" you... So they are a necessity for anybody modelling Irish Rail over the last 20 years? Hint, hint, @Arran! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
