Hi all

I'm curious if any of the current IRM bullied based wagons ever ventured into the North, places such as the derry road or irish north west particularly. as when I come to creating a layout based on my irish stock I'll most likely base it somewhere local to me.

Yes here is a picture of one from the O'Dea Collection. Bullied Vac Braked H  Van at the rear

Great addition to the range some of the vacuum brake versions also ran in green which were  in that livery to run in passenger trains which was short lived .

I think there is a new manufacturer for the motors, dont quote me

Massey Ferguson by the sounds of it .

Now that we have nailed the oats don't suppose we could have a tank for the milk ?

Here is a picture of one from Ernie's railway archive on flickr

Great addition to the range ,  hopefully the H vans will be following very shortly. 

They look brilliant.

Me thinks that this thread has departed for that distant but well travelled destination Tangent !

Brilliant job

This post has gone downhill

Like the MK4’s it maybe in need of an upgrade? 

For those who are interested the IRRS Flickr has been updated with more pictures the latest additions from the Tom Dowling Collection as has been said before access to these collection's is worth the Membership alone . Thanks to Ciaran Cooney for taking his unpaid time to scan and upload all of these fabulous pictures .Irish Railway Record Society | Flickr

The IRRS Flickr site is a real eye opener with colour photos of pre-Amalgamation wagons in service into the late 60s including ex-Midland and West Cork Open Wagons (Irish Standard Open) and a MGWR Covered Wagon (similar to GNR) in brown with wheel logo).

I guess I will have to add some of these wagons to my collection.

The IRRS Flickr site is an invaluable resource for the railway modeller with many  unseen pictures of rolling stock available to inspire anyone modelling the Irish Scene . 

This is one with flying snail from the O’Dea collection

 It seems that there was no shortage of auto traffic on the Midland in the mid sixties.

 

And no shortage of Oil and Grain either.

There is always some in Hattons second hand and the price is not too bad .

184 requires extensive work front tube plate and possibly a cylinder block .

CIE also built flat wagons using the triangulated underframe . Provincial Wagons did a kit.

Yes I think like this

I don't know if some were built with the heavier buffers or later upgraded but both types were in service together into the seventies. 

I think some may have had their buffers replaced as they years went by with the more modern buffers as they came in for repairs and overhaul in the works  the addition to the newer slightly larger buffers the couplings also changed from three link to instantor type .

This is a great addition to the range and utilising the same underframe the possibility of a ready to run H van could be a future addition.

I wonder if a beet load or scrap metal load could be available as an accessory only asking for a friend.

I think I mentioned it before about having a countdown timer to a countdown timer.  

Very sad May Fred rest in peace .

I will be selling on behalf of Warley Model  Railway Club advanced tickets for their show at the end of November at the NEC, Birmingham. Not only are the advanced tickets cheaper than on the door, they also give you access to the show 30 minutes ahead of the general doors opening.

How will you accept payment?
