You can clearly see the mounting brackets for the esso signs . -
I think I was out that day in Clara it ran in daylight hours on Monday about lunchtime.

23/03/2002 128+135 on the Up Esso Liner From Sligo to North Wall passes Lough Owel between Edgeworthstown and Mullingar.
-
Nice footage of the Esso liner on the Sligo line from 3.00
-
The Esso wagons were much bigger too 15'0" wheelbase and 25'2 1/2"length and 27'8 1/2" over buffers with a 6000 Gallon capacity .
-
I think as the wagons aged they were downgraded from Class A petrol to finally home heating oil Kerosene.
-
No they were CIE wagons used on those trains , the 971-1013 wagons we different and owned by ESSO Teo , but operated and maintained by CIE / Irish Rail .
-
Another interesting thing about these wagons they were the first wagons to carry “beware over overhead lines “ as they had been running on BR and when they arrived in Ireland in 1971 we had no lines with overhead wires, which didn’t happen until the Dart in 1979 .

Brilliant news lovely wagons I have some of the Heljan ones and they are super detail . One minor point I think they are A class wagons with the longer barrel the B class were the shorter barrel running numbers 995 , 996, 997, 998 & 999 ?? I know the classification refers to the type of product carried and latterly the were all B class
-
They were also used on the Claremorris and Galway (oranmore) lines .

I posted this picture by Jonathan Allen from Flickr the palvan behind the loco is pretty much level with the loco which is 12'3
-
Some interesting Palvan pictures in this post
-
@seagoebox posted these in another thread about the Palvans these give the dimensions except for the height which I would estimate from the other dimensions to be 12ft.
