    OK, I think this thread in 22'6" flats is what I was thinking of http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/198-22-6-quot-Container-Flat-photos-and-drawings I think the photos might have then gone to the resources section so we seem to have come full circle

    There's a photo somewhere, which is not mine, and maybe from the site, of the Lyons tea container on a flat wagon, possible 273XX series. The container seemed to be shorter than the wagon by about 18" each end and just sufficient6 to engage the cuplocks (if that's the correct terminology) on the flat. There is a 'broadside' and a 45 degree oblique shot. If I can find a copy and no-one has any objections to me posting it without credit. I will do so. If you can determine the length of the flat over the headstocks, you should be able to get scaled dimensions

    Not sure if this is the full URL to take you to the photo but this is a great shot of the cab of a J15 if anyone ever felt inclined to produce a model That said I suppose you'd have probably just go and look at sister 184 & 186

    I was wondering if that was the reason. Why is 162 being turned, something failed in one cab? Were they 141s withdrawn by then?

    181-C-13 will be coming up for the boys in the Rebel County

    Shame there's not really a OO model of that. Not the prettiest, Functionally more interesting, I suppose

    That's a lovely collection, Ernie. Already have a bookmark for it. Love those old partly covered wagons! Thanks for sharing the photos.

    Many thanks for the instructions, John. Looking forward to receiving mine.

    Off the beaten track is still on YouTube. I saw one by chance only a few nights ago. It may be easier to link to it from Google etc as I can't seem to copy a link from the YouTube app on my iPad. They're about 30 mins in length and I remember several on there including Waterford to Dungarvan, Cork to Blarney, Scarva to Newcastle and Stranorlor to Glenties, I think

    Very enjoyable video, Kieran. It's hard to believe there still isn't a market and to some extent for that, with music tailored to appeal to the traveling clientele

    Pressed into service regardless of the additional cost, pressed out of service regardless ......

    What's the fate of 175 stored at Inchicore? For preservation or spares?

    Very interesting. I looked again at the Derry photo and remembering Mayner's comments that it may be a different chassis altogether for the first batch of wagons which this was http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307375 To me it looks like there is a vacuum hose on the left of the three-link, more similar in appearance to some of the flat wagons than the bubbles, with a pipe travelling obliquely above it down the near side of the chassis, turning obliquely in again at the far end PS Sorry about three posts, something is acting up on the iPad, couldn't merge them

    Disgraceful lapse in Health & Safety on the Railway in that video. Not a high visibility vest in sight. I hope Ms Clancy was wearing her steel-capped stilettos!

    I wonder if it was easier to discharge the tanks with the discharge pipes co-located?

    SSM is going to do rtr ferts? What's the number?

    The biggest downside with this system is the need for a (presumably) fiddly physical connection to allow charging of EACH loco. If you have more than one or two, it would drive you (me) crazy. They are talking of an update with inductive charging which would be a huge advance; a few placed in a fiddle yard, platform end, storage areas, drive up and ready to go when you are...

    As far as I am aware the bubbles were vacuum braked from the outset, each series from 25050 onwards, certainly recorded that way in 1967. I'm not certain the bubbles would have been retro-"fitted" that quickly, so they'd have to have been in the front/middle of a partly fitted rake even if loose coupled vans and a brake brought up the rear Would definitely have to second that, JB! A rake of bogie ferts definitely one of my favorite freights. A rake sorely needed

    I don't have a 142 I want to part with but PM me what you need

    Looking great, Richie. I was just curious as the "Presflo" method of fluidizing powdered solids to facilitate discharge from tankers has been of interest on the forum before
