Ah those were the days.

Fabulous love the screw jacks on the running plate very distinctive feature of the SLNCR
-
I would go so far as to say that the vast majority were rebuilt in that manner by the early eighties when they were withdrawn, I worked on some of the RPSI ones in the mid eighties and as John says they were laminates in name only .

In the new products announced recently by Bachmann I came across this addition to their range and it certainly looks similar to an Irish Cabin like Birr Co Offaly. https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000303197

from a JHB post Grey livery with Orange roundell

They certainly did when first introduced until the arrival of the Dutch vans and BR Mk 1 vans and by the mid 1970's the Six wheel van were relegated to be mainly used on secondary and suburban services . -
"Rails Through Wexford" Book Launch in Wexford Library
flange lubricator replied to Irishrailwayman's topic in What's On?
A very difficult picture to find however if you look through the wonderful IRRS flickr site and look in the Tom Davitt collection there is a picture at Liffey Junction of a GNR 1795 Bogie wagon and in the background is a ex GNR covered van with pressed steel ends and a white CIE roundell .- 36 replies

I wonder how were these Grain wagons Discharged was there a hopper underneath ?
-
I think we are looking at a time when petrol / diesel cars will be very much restricted and the only cars with yellow number plates on them or not will be electric ones .

More than suitable to run with the forthcoming IRM Park Royals. Very well illustrated in this picture on Colm O'Callaghan's flickr page 32xx BGSV with Park Royals . And another one by Neil Smith

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say I’d prefer spending €180 on a Murphy models one tbh .
-
The rest of us are non league by comparison.

So are we having a countdown to the countdown timer ?
-
Great additional information Seagoebox .

Still pondering the answer to this question from studying various pictures the CIE Palvans were certainly taller than the standard 12 ton standard covered van which is 11'5", this excellent picture from J M Allen of a loose coupled goods which has a Palvan next to the loco illustrates the point very well the Palvan to my eye seems to be the same height as the 181 class which is 12'6" to the top of the exhaust manifold. Not very scientific but in the absence of an actual drawing might be the best we can get.

Was once a CIE H van that was sold off when withdrawn from Railway service and has languished outside in the elements for the past 50 years now some chancer has put it up for sale looking for someone who is going to give €4500 of their hard earned cash for it because of its railway heritage.

Even if it had the wheels and running gear it wouldn’t be worth that price .

Well if one is supporting spurs it could be said that your interest in football is questionable
-
Like your good self WRENNEIRE I have zero interest in British models but it is under the correct thread of British Outline Modelling .
-
Sorry to hear of his passing.
-
It very much depends on peoples modelling eras prior to the mid eighties the stock was mixed after that the Park Royals and cravens tended to be marshalled in sets with the Park Royal's being withdrawn in 1991 but anyone modelling 1990's-2006 Cravens are a must have .
-
Possibly but I think they will still be in demand to run along side the Cravens
-
The O’Dea collection is a great and easily accessible resource of pictures.
-
Keeping my fingers crossed that we might see an early 20’ x 8’ B&l containers. B& I liner train approaching, Limerick Junction North, Co. Tipperary. (nli.ie)

They look great Arran .
