How about the Iron Stallions? -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUMmP-HTULw My son Kieran Made this movie of an impromptu operating session on the South Waterford Line while visiting from Korea where he is learning the language and teaches English. I really should have taken the time to clean the track and tidy up the layout before we started. Please ignore signal indications as the signaling system wiring is a work in progress.

Staging the layout for the first 1967 operating session.

The latest arrival on the South Waterford Line. I'm so glad I got my order in in time for these JM Design brake vans since I missed the earlier flying snail version and these two are no longer shown on John's website. Next project is to aquire more grey wagons for a 1967 operating session.

Waterford bound passenger train meets local goods train at Glen More October 1967.
-
The last one I saw in operation was in Limerick in 1980 or 81. I believe it was the wagon works pilot.
-
The layout is set in early October Leslie, in order to run beet trains. The year is currently 1974 but I'm slowly acquiring stock for a 1967 operating session.

A42 is proving to be a favourite among visitors to the South Waterford Line.
-
A55 on a short goods on the South Waterford line in the late sixties. Apart from the brake van which is scratch built all the wagons are Provincial Wagons kits. These kits are not at all difficult to build. Painting is even easier, all you need is rattle can of grey or brown paint. No masking required.

A29r shunting beet wagons at Glen More. It seems like I spent any spare moment today running this stunning model back and forth across the layout.
-
Beet special at Grange.
-
DHL from Ireland is often faster than shipments within the US. A39r also arrived today with four more on order.

Here is a comparison in size between a Provincial Wagons H van, a Parkside Palvan conversion, and a Parkside 12 ton van. To my eye the palvan looks undersized. Maybe too narrow? Has a anyone got the dimensions of the CIE version?

I have been busy the last few months with my first acting role with a local community theater during which time the layout was ignored. The show went very well im glad to report and now that it's done the layout is receiving attention again. Here we see a Waterfor bound goods passing Keilys Cross

The contrast seems less noticeable on the layout. The photo shows a heating van in a consist with a Murphy Models Craven and a Silvet Fox open composite.

Here you go.

Poached salmon is my guess!

Did any of the 30 ton brake vans wear the yellow and black stripes on the duckets and the CIE roundal before being painted brown? I have found several photos from the mid sixties showing them in grey with the flying snail but none with the stripes. Also it seems that brake vans were repainted brown fairly quickly after 1970. How late could you see a grey one still in service? Thanks.
-
I'm curious to know if the models shipped with only one coupler fitted as shown in the photos?
-
Did many of the Super train A's have the roof panels painted black like 001 in the publicity photo?
-
Me too. Fast service and very reasonable postage rates to the US.
