    The second batch of wagons 32021-32023 were built in the UK by Bombardier Prorail in Wakefield for STS(Bombardier Prorail) which was formerly Charles Roberts the same company that built the ESSO wagons 971-1013 in 1960's , they went out of business in 2005. The main differance in the two batches is the first batch had an underframe the second batch didnt.

    The fitting of multiple working took longer than that perhaps it was done as the locos were in the shops for overhauls by early 1976 only 11 of the class were fitted 122,128,125 and B132 remaining unconverted of these 125 was the last to be done in early 1978 .

    Were the two Inchicore sulzers 1100 and 1101 not fitted for multple working as built in 1951?

    If black tan is your era grey 121's ran well into the sixties in fact CIE repainted one B135 in grey in the mid sixties two had the addition of a red buffer beam B123 and B127 I think and ran until 1966 like that

    They were 70 seats as built as far as I'm aware .

    I think that the first series of laminate coaches 1429-1448 were 70 seaters with 3+2 seating nicknamed maze if I remember correctly. super job on the bredins Kirley

    It's interesting that the CIE palvans were built in 1964/65 with no vacuum brakes I think the last non braked vehicles to be built?. I have always heard the railwaymen refer to the vacuum hose as "bag" I don't what the orgin s of that are .

    Thanks for the comments Glenderg and Mike84c. As regards brown and grey Jhb171Achill is 100% correct as the 1970's came to a close you would see less and less of the grey wagons they were would only have been repainted if they went for general repair . The wagons that remained in grey probably received running repairs at some of the smaller depots. One point to clarify when Jhb171achill say s "fitted" it means that the wagons were not fitted with vacuum brakes but were through piped this was basically a 2" pipe 16' long attached to the underframe as far as I'm aware. I can't ever remember seeing any with vacuum hose .

    Just putting the finishing touches to my CIE Palvans

    Thanks for that , it was seeing your one that motivated me to get my finger out ! I wanted to do the one with the crossed braced end as I think they were distinctly Irish compared to the one with the corrugated ends I did three and ended up with two 12 ton vans which are very near to the GNR H van .

    I think they were more a stop gap measure to handle pallets which were becoming a more popular way of transporting goods by the mid 1960's, interestingly enough.BR introduced their.palvans in the mid fifties and started withdrawal in the mid sixties , CIE began building their palvans in 1964/65 and they would all be gone by the late 1970's in favour of unit loads .

    Both the BR and CIE one's had a 10'0 wheelbase the same as the standard CIE van but they were higher any pictures you see of loose coupled trains in thr 1970's the standard van made up the majority with the palvans dotted throughout the train .

    Currently working on coverting some Parkside Dundas BR palvans to CIE 26000 series palvans the CIE one had a number of different end pressings which I have tried to reproduce , Inspired by Patricks models of his Palvans and JHB pictures

    Glenderg that's a great paint job on the sulzer

    Super modelling so realistic well done .

    Glenderg, please don't take any of my postings as verbatim I am far from the fount of knowledge compared to some on here, to use cement parlance I have a head like a cavity block on these matters,but to add to my earlier post over the years the various silos were at various times supplied by either plant Platin or Castlemungret but Athy (Tegrel)was only ever supplied from Castlemungret. I was also led to believe that the Athy cement loaded from a separate silo in Castlemungret as far as I'm aware.

    Yes Mayner I think that is correct this photo http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306218 also from the O'Dea Collection is from 1967 note the newer wagons behind the loco have hand brake lever while the wagons further back dont?? also brake van front and rear.
  25. flange lubricator
    Found this picture in the O'Dea Collection at the National Libary note the Handbrake which is a wheel as compared to a lever and the position of the Vacuum Bag/hose. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307375
