  1. 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 .
  2. 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 .
  3. 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
  4. They were also used on the Claremorris and Galway (oranmore) lines .
  5. 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
  6. Some interesting Palvan pictures in this post
  7. @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.
  8. Here are some on a jhb171achill thread
  9. Yes they were running all over the system at that time .
  10. I see Heljan have re released the A and B versions again lovely looking wagons
  11. Invoice received this morning and paid for .
  12. And very nice bogies they are too with the added benefit of having metal spades for coach lighting.
  13. A version with a hand painted‘Connolly only ‘ on the side could be a future addition.
  14. It’s fantastic very Irish look to it .
  15. Looks fantastic love the bridge did you make it’s from scratch?
  16. Amazing work
  17. H vans in brown didn't appear until 1969/70 onwards.
  18. Super job not too much but just enough in the right places
  19. I’m certainly with you on this one with the orange v black roofs I was going to something similar but have decided to hold onto them too .
  20. I also received mine and they are stunning models very happy with them , Wondering if IRM will sell the lighting strips as kits so I can fit to my Murphy models Mk2a's.
  21. yes they certainly have that chunkier look about them I have bought some too and am contemplating changing them
  22. As far as I aware they are all B4 bogies the only ones the had B5s on CIE /IE were the Mk2 genny vans and Mk1 steam genny vans .
