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 .

The two white stripes were introduced in 1987 with setting up of Irish Rail the prior to this Cravens would have carried the single 6"white stripe since there introduction in 1964 . -

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 .
-
No problem , I got them in 2016 .It would be great if Studio Scale Models did an overlay of the MK2C FO which would do IE 4103 ,4104, 4105,4106,4107 also Mk2B Fk overlay which would do 4109 4401,4402 and 4112 (which was a MK2C Fk)
-
I got them from Ermine models in the UK don't know if they are still about here's a link via RM web http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107085-ermine-models-mk2c-etched-sides/
-
Thanks Noel I white primer to cover the BR colours then a few coats of RAL2011.
-
Cheers Paul yes working on another Mk2a FK 4114, I am also converting a hornby Mk2e to a Mk2c FO with brass overlays from http://www.erminemodels.co.uk/

This has to be the longest time to reply in the history of this site ! my apologies I have moved house in the meantime and am only getting back to sorting modelling matters now attached is a picture of Irish Rail Mk2a 4113 which was converted from a bachmann Mk2a FK , I filled in the centre door and fitted an open seating arrangement which is how Irish Rail converted the original. Interestingly enough the Bachmann Mk2a FK BR number is E13468, Irish Rail 4113 original BR number was E13469 the next in sequence .
