  7. 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 .
  8. I think as the wagons aged they were downgraded from Class A petrol to finally home heating oil Kerosene.
  9. 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 .
  10. 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 .
  11. 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
  12. They were also used on the Claremorris and Galway (oranmore) lines .
  13. 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
