leslie10646 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 First take a Bulleid triangulated chassis: Add a corrugated body and you've got one of several thousand of these iconic wagons; Add a steel van body and you get an H van (two above, of different eras) Finally, (for the moment), add a crude wooden platform and you get a Ballast Flat, which as well as its "proper" use got used to carry cars, or farm machinery, to Backwoods Ireland in the 1960s/1970s. 50 of these wagons were built using the chassis from H vans. I'm waiting for the transfers to complete the job. All available at Raheny in a couple of weeks! Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junctionmad Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Leslie , where is the chassis coming from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Leslie , where is the chassis coming from ? Oh, it's the chassis Michael created for the corrugated wagon and I guess he has reused his Master on the successive wagons. Same logic as the IRM guys will use on their Ballasts and Bubbles, except that this is a resin kit of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 The little Ballast wagon is thanks to Patrick Dillane in Ireland's Other Island - across the Atlantic - who spotted a photo on the Internet of the wagon with an Austin 1800 on it, sitting in a siding somewhere. I sent the photo, and a little suggestion to Michael who sent me a photo of the finished KIT about two weeks later. Happy Days.

Check out the whole collection, the photos are priceless for anyone interested in goods wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 That's an excellent archive of CIE wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Time to put up a photo the Ballast Flat complete with the Railtec Transfers applied (very badly by me). Steve has done a neat job as a single transfer suffices for the Work's Plate (complete with the wagon's number) and the usual stencilled number. I'll have a supply of the kit at Raheny for just 22 Euros. Feel free to reserve one by PM or via my website. I have only had twenty made to date, so grab it while you can. A useful little wagon, whether for use with a pile of sleeps, or ballast; or, as I show here, delivering a new Landcover to a farmer .....
