At this stage the plan is to release the wagon in late 2016.
Thanks for the update.
-
Introduced in 1966 as a general purpose flat wagon these were the 1st of the CIE family of 20T flats. The wagons were intended mainly for palletised and container traffic and fitted with swing down stanchions and tie downs for securing a load and were retro-fitted with cuplocks when ISO container standards were finalised in 1969.
The wagons were used for palletised keg, fertiliser and container traffic until the widespread introduction of bogie flats and purpose built fertiliser wagons and keg flats in the mid-late 70s. 256436 series flats formed the basis of the bagged cement and beet doubles, others ended up in departmental use on the cable train, sleeper wagons, one was fitted with a Hiab for use with the S&E department on the DART electrification and signalling.
The original intention was a detailing fret for the Prestwin with floor, bufferbeams, brake gear and solebar detail, in the end a complete kit turned out to be simpler and more effective.

Test Build 25436 Series Flat
The test assembly went together very well all of the critical components are self locating with slots and tabs. I need to look at the decking chequer plate ended up as polka dots and re-jig the buffer beams.
I am looking at detail castings for this and the 22'6" flat I have the masters for the spring and dampers somewhere, MJT do reasonably close roller bearing axlebox and buffers.
At this stage I am not sure on cost possible release date Autumn (Northern) 2014
Any development on these wagons John or did I miss later updates?

Thanks for posting, looks like a good Show.

Nine buses altogether, just pulls you right back to that time (for those who remember it of course).

I was delighted to meet Michael as he travelled on the Ballina branch train last week,
We had a great chat about the bygone days of which he captured so well in his book.
Did he mention doing another book Noel?

Just finished reading Michael McMahon’s book “Irish Railway Rambler” and it’s the sort of book I read over a period of time dipping in and out of it. The more I read the more I appreciated the clever way he has put the book together. While it’s mainly a book of photographs it is full of information not only of locomotives but also coaches and Railcars. A great reference book which captures railways in Ireland between 1982 and 1995. He has hinted on doing another book on Freight, I for one can’t wait.

First coat of Etched Primer added.
-
And finally a surprise
A 1916 commemorative item, ETA June, I couldn't get the grey badger to tell me what it is, had his best poker face on!
Any more hints on the 'commemorative' item?
-
Got a bit further in the build, all the fiddly bits completed.
Now for final clean up and wash before applying the first primer coat.
Pickups and decoder to be fitted before testing the locomotive and tender.
The beginning of the end is in sight.

Tidy work

Some more of Marks wagons
(Without Grey chassis)
Just thought I would stick that in first before I am attacked

Any dates when these models were first released and did they all come out together Dave?
-
3 MIR Kits
A few years ago they would be in big demand, now ......
-
I take it you will have some of these kits at the Bangor Show next month Leslie?
-
It's exciting being at this early stage of a build with all the ideas in your head but not completely sure what way it will end up. Enjoy the process Eamonn, it will be a good distraction from the 5 42'flat wagons you are constructing.
-
Excellent job.
-
I've been struggling away building my first brass kit locomotive this past 2 months. With some outside help and advice I've got to this stage which leaves all the fiddly bits to finish.
-
Delightful as usual Noel.
-
If you can pick up a Bachmann Class 66 at the right money it's a good compromise.
I did a some 201's a few years ago, see my Work Bench

Well done for your perseverance and a good outcome. Good to see some actual modelling on this Site which unfortunately has become more of a talking shop recently.

Well done Daryl, With this type of modelling it's a case of filling & sanding, filling & sanding, filling .... Until you get a finish you are happy with. Keep at it.
