That is a representation of a fertilizer wagon which were flats mounted on 4 wheel container wagons. The demensions were guesstimated from photos which did not show them very clearly but I remember them from the days before the bogies were introduced. I doubt if many photos were taken of these wagons. A train of them can be seen in "Rails Through the West" on page 53 but they also ran in loose coupled goods trains.

Thanks for the kind remarks. Here are a few more photos.

Hi, I have been a member for some time but this is my first post. Here are a few pictures of my new layout which has been under construction for the last few months. My intrest is in CIE from the late sixties to the mid seventies and the theme for the layout is an imagined connection between Dungarvan and Youghal. This will allow me to run loose coupled goods as well as manganese, oil and Bell ferry trains behind black and tan diesels. The rolling stock is Murphy Models, Silver Fox and amixture of modofied Parkside and scratch built wagons on Dapol underframes. I was hoping to post more photos but I am having trouble doing so. I will post some more when I figure it out.
