This was something that particular to CIE coaches of the period compared to their British cousins nice detail
-
Noel, very interested in the TPO project , I think they had the mail catching gear until the late sixties here's another gem from the O'Dea collection from 1967 which show's the TPO forth coach from the loco with the apparatus still attached also interesting is the coach behind the loco some old GSWR coach with whats looks like the windows painted /covered over and possibly being used as van?. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306219

I think the 42' wagons are LP's and the 47'6" are LX or Modified LX. Explained in this post by people a lot more knowledgeable than me
-
Found a nice picture from the O'Dea collection from April 1971 of some new 42'wagons on trial hauled by A3R. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307793

I have been toying with the idea of using Shawplan EECD4006 Mk3 Sleeper coach window frames and putting grilles into them.
-
Your dimensions look spot on that's why I asked you must have a very keen eye , some models I have seen they look a little too high many thanks for your help I will work with 5.5mm.
-
Great work on the gen van currently I'm trying to convert a Silver Fox Dutch Van to an EGV do you have the dimensions of the added headstock's .

Away at the moment but will post a pic when i get home

I received a box from shapeways yesterday containing 42ft LP wagons very impressed with them.

Here's a link to one http://briansolomon.com/trackingthelight/tag/elusive-train/

As far as I am aware the highlighted numbers were hand painted and this is now done by stencil, transfers , interestingly enough you mention 202 which was involved in mishap with 182 about 1998 /99 this coincided with the restoration of saloon 351 and some of the retired painters were involved in this project and were working on 351 at about the time 202 was being repaired , so possibly they did the highlighted numbers on 202 ????

Eiretrains I remember a wonderful picture in the IRRS journal from 1971 of B206 hauling the B&I liner up the Gullet with the Rowntree mackintosh factory in the background .
-
30091-30098 were built with steel floors and stanchion's for carrying steel traffic .
-
Yes Noel , I think thats an 'R' beside a number , these wagons were introduced about 1971 the A class re engine program was in full swing at this stage , in the background you can see Bullied open wagons and to the right a 20T Guards Van , out with the old and in with the new .
-
So i don't need a visit to specsavers!!
-
That looks very like a white line and black roof to me and if my eyes are not gone bad altogether that looks like a broken circle on the side of the loco!!!!!
-
My wish would be the early 42' round buffers , ride control bogie hauled by a black and tan A class with some of Leslie's 20' CIE containers as per the picture below.
-
i think the original numbers were 31527,31528 not to sure when the conversion happened .
-
Your correct 31026 ,31027 easy to identify them as they have a centre rib running the length of the wagon
-
Yes these would be a good basis for a fert wagon , for the early 1970's round buffers and ride control bogies would have been more common and if C Rail did a B&I container it would be the business.
-
Yes , memory can be strange they would have started appearing in 1971 they would not have been common here's a link to a picture of some on the B&I liner with a black and tan 121 from the O'Dea collection http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307819
-
Noel , the first 42' wagons went into traffic in 1971 on the B&I liner between Dublin -Cork , so would be seen hauled by B201's and B121's its a pity C rail don't do a B&I container , the only detail difference was they had round buffers the square appeared later .

Kit bashing a BSK is one thing ( as you have done Noel) but kit bashing a BCK is major job , what about brass overlays and cover over the one door as the RPSI have done .
