Easy CIE 1950s short freight

[Auto-Train Original]

Hi. I have been given a Silver Fox A Class in green as a gift. I would like to run some wagons with it. I am fairly good at kitbashing so is there any commercially available OO wagons I can repaint or alter to make a short train to be 'close enough' kind of thing? Also a Brake Van? Thanks in advance.

No need - am sure Leslie of this parish will be along soon to tell you about his superb Provincial Wagons!

Welcome to the forum btw!

Thank you Patrick, for the plug.

If the Auto-Train's route takes him to Raheny he can take his pick from my kits of -

Bulleid Open wagon

1953 CIE van

Flat wagon, with or wthout container

CIE cattle wagon

GSWR 10 ton brake van

or a load of pre-Grouping wagons.

If you're in Charles' Country, I'll send you a list!

A beet train would be easy, for example - Provincial’s GSWR brake van in CIE livery and a string of Bullied corrugated open wagons.

Add in a 1953 goods van or two for beet pulp.
