I’m sure we might be able to rustle up a spare pack or two once they land.. If you click the notify me button on the listing and enter your details it will add you to “the list” https://www.accurascale.com/collections/irm-wagons

Stretching rule 1 a little, you could have Fenit handling exports of harbour crane parts from Liebherr in Fossa.. It still handles these to this day, and I’m fairly sure Liebherr did make use of rail at one stage, just not to Fenit obviously.. A look at the rail freight to the far north of Scotland for the oil industry gives a good idea of what could be handled -Pipes on flat wagons - Drilling mud in tank wagons or offshore tanks(think tank containers but smaller) - Drill heads in open wagons, with Cameron in Longford the destination for these

Was over 6 months ago now, so the eBay listing is no longer.. But from memory it was north of €300 for a mint 2 pack

Sorry, a comprehensive guide to the tail lights has been on our to do list for a while in Irm towers( it’s a long list!) You will need two batteries, one of top of the other.. It is a tight fit, but once you get a knack for it it’s easily done.. Just a tip for anyone that wants to add some to a 42ft flat, the dapol containers have removable floors, which makes fitting and threading the wires for the lights even easier.. I secured the light fittings to the sidewall of my container with double sided tape(€1.50 a roll in deals when I was buying the batteries) so they weren’t moving around in the container and the wires getting tangled..

I want one of those too, you should be a clothing influencer!

I managed to get to the storage unit earlier this week and clear it out in time for Christmas.. So here is a resprayed dapol KTA wagon.. For me it was promising enough to go ahead and order two more plus the conversion pack and decals from SSM

Depends on the reefer, but those are about right.. Although there are odd balls like the ECS carpet containers, that are 2550mm wide on the hinges.. They all fit in the Irish rail CPWs, but the reefers don’t seat on the pins, so 45ft reefers are no longer allowed to be carried in them..

Never seen a pic of one with that livery, only the Blue.. Was it different liveries for different fuel, or was the Blue a later livery does anyone know?

They are grey, originally a darker shade but this quickly faded.. The wagon in Fred’s pick has a coating of track dirt and brake dust on it which give it a reddish tinge.. They got repainted before returning to service earlier this year and are now dark grey again

Sorry I am on Daddy duty mid house move madness so don’t have time to give this one a full reply, but will try get to this over the weekend.. Can I suggest a perusal of the late Fred Deans Flickr with shots of them in their first life on the Cork line where Hapag Lloyd 40ft HCs(both reefers and dries) and MSC 40ft HCs(mainly dries) were regular loads.. Both of these have been modelled a few times, by C rail, Dapol and I think maybe Hornby.. Second video is an IWT liner, not a DFDS.. Hence the 40ft containers

We can put them all in one big box for you, so you only have to explain yourself once

That would be telling but we do have your coal needs covered https://www.accurascale.com/en-eu/products/real-coal-loads-for-mdo-v-wagons?srsltid=AfmBOor2Iv7Iw7nQ0KqOT1dWgP46fb_akb-G-HM_5qz0JcuxYI-8lNkx

The short lived operation desert storm livery.. And the result of such an easy mix up, if only the nice chap with the U.K. accent who called asking if they could have the tanks back that they had sent over in the 60s had realised he was talking to CIE instead of the FCA!

The magnesite used tank wagons, but the Foynes to Ballina Coal/Oil was actually 20ft tank containers on flat wagons

UN1202 is diesel, UN1203 would be petrol and UN1270 is heating oil/kerosene.. They carried diesel and heating oil for most of their lives, but towards the end were confined to Kero/heating oil only, which may explain the end of the Sligo block train and it being replaced with blocks of tanks on the Sligo liner
