Pallet cements, etc. ran on different chassis.

Re. "fitted" Bulleid opens, I've never seen evidence of any such things. However, a small number of vacuum-braked 20ft flat wagons received open bodies fabricated from the same galvanised panelling with 'extender' sections to cross the gaps at either end. The body sections were likely sourced from scrapped Bulleids.

Just a quick update; a Midlands Model Railway Club has now been formed: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566471910328

FYI: We're hoping to provide both the spindle and heavy duty buffer types used on these wagons as separate accessories. Further details will be revealed in due course!

Hi @Georgeconna, as I explained in my response to your email, the forum is not an official support channel and is not monitored for that purpose. We're always available to provide support via email, live chat, SMS and social media PMs. Hope you will be pleased with the replacement bogies which will be winging their way to you shortly!

Hi all, The tracking for those orders activated when the labels were printed rather than when being scanned after dispatch, so the updates are a bit premature. We're looking at a way to avoid this going forward.

In short, yes! There are images of them in places like Derry/Londonderry, even some images of them being shunted by MPDs.

That's pretty much it, @Metrovik.

Gents, just to clarify, Partial.ly is only accepted for pre-orders with at least a six-month lead time as goods are not reserved until payment is completed in full. The 141/181s are due in approximatley six weeks. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/pages/flexible-instalment-options

Interestingly, I recently saw a photo of one of the ex-GSR Drewry inspection cars painted in Black & Tan livery. Up until that I had thought their final livery was green with Flying Snails on the sides.

Different brake gear and springs, same triangulated underframe...

Don't forget 'All the Single Locos'...

It looks like you've made it home safely, Leslie - it was good to see you at the show in Blackrock! There are a few photos of wagons with the Flying Snail on the solebar, including one here: http://www.athyphotos.gallery/railway-station.html It's the second photo on the left - the wagon is behind three members of staff posing for the camera. If you open the image in a new window you can zoom in and see the logo on the side. Another one which comes to mind is a shot by George Mahon which can be viewed in the IRRS's Flickr archive (IRRS membership required in order to view): https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/50356805096/ Hope that helps!
