Arrived this morning, great runners on the layout. Superb job as usual IRM 20250315_202926.mp4

I got a SSM CIE brake van brass kit there too. Can't wait to get a brake van on the end of my rakes.

Thanks Darius. Well spotted with the sag.

Had to get 2 more beet packs, many thanks IRM

I'll take a few each of you new RTR van and the open plank wagon of it goes ahead.

Leslie I hope you have a happy and well deserved retirement, I've only bought a small number of wagons off you recently but they are treasured.

Thanks for posting the photo, looks great to me!

Thanks @MOGUL lovely image and info. I'm interested in any CPWs on Irish rails. @MOGUL in your photo the CPW looks more yellow than grey. What original colours were they painted in on Irish rails? If yellow they remind me of the US TTX well cars that I am currently building from an Athearn kit that I run with my US outline collection.

A lovely man. May he rest in peace.

I suppose the 40' and 2x20' Bells would fit and be Irish, stereotypical for DFDS or not.

This is probably the post you're referring to DJ: @MOGUL makes an important point that the dapol CPWs won't fit 45' containers. Are there 40' Irish containers that would suit?

Thanks DJ.

Would they be a very niche model to ever be viable for someone like IRM?

I'm wondering is there nny OO models available of DFDS Container Pocket Wagons? Probably not RTR. I'm a fan of US well container cars so would love an Irish version. Would this dapol RTR model be a close fit? Once repainted . Dapol OO Gauge B779D KQA KTA ‘Pocket’ Container Wagon GERS 4907 017-4

Would love one, maybe two for re numbering
