I think some may have had their buffers replaced as they years went by with the more modern buffers as they came in for repairs and overhaul in the works the addition to the newer slightly larger buffers the couplings also changed from three link to instantor type . -
You Can't Beat A Bit of Bulleid - Open Wagons Next For IRM

This is a great addition to the range and utilising the same underframe the possibility of a ready to run H van could be a future addition. I wonder if a beet load or scrap metal load could be available as an accessory only asking for a friend. -

They are very nice models virtually the same as the GNR covered vans which CIE inherited following the dissolution of the GNR they also have the same Morton brake rigging.

The Mk2c looks stunning.

Ah those were the days.

Fabulous love the screw jacks on the running plate very distinctive feature of the SLNCR

I would go so far as to say that the vast majority were rebuilt in that manner by the early eighties when they were withdrawn, I worked on some of the RPSI ones in the mid eighties and as John says they were laminates in name only .

In the new products announced recently by Bachmann I came across this addition to their range and it certainly looks similar to an Irish Cabin like Birr Co Offaly. https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000303197

"Rails Through Wexford" Book Launch in Wexford Library
flange lubricator replied to Irishrailwayman's topic in What's On?
A very difficult picture to find however if you look through the wonderful IRRS flickr site and look in the Tom Davitt collection there is a picture at Liffey Junction of a GNR 1795 Bogie wagon and in the background is a ex GNR covered van with pressed steel ends and a white CIE roundell .- 36 replies

More than suitable to run with the forthcoming IRM Park Royals. Very well illustrated in this picture on Colm O'Callaghan's flickr page 32xx BGSV with Park Royals . And another one by Neil Smith

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say I’d prefer spending €180 on a Murphy models one tbh .

Still pondering the answer to this question from studying various pictures the CIE Palvans were certainly taller than the standard 12 ton standard covered van which is 11'5", this excellent picture from J M Allen of a loose coupled goods which has a Palvan next to the loco illustrates the point very well the Palvan to my eye seems to be the same height as the 181 class which is 12'6" to the top of the exhaust manifold. Not very scientific but in the absence of an actual drawing might be the best we can get.
