NIR Bogie Flat Wagon & CIE 4 Wheel Flat Wagon.

[popeye]

This is a NIR Flat bogie wagon to transport rail with two small cranes to lift the rails on & off the wagon.

made from an old Hornby car transporter wagon I have had for many years.

A new floor and sanctions added and the 2 cranes are hand made.

Plus a little CIE 4 wheel flat wagon (Hot topic) made from bits of wagon kits.

Excellent- we don’t see anywhere near enough of your work, Popeye 

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

That's a great job Popeye, well done you, two lovely models.

On a real note does anybody have some good alternatives to IRM’s LB flats. For my Ford train I’ll have 3 bullied flats but I want a few other types mixed in (because as mayner said the LB flats were far far outnumbered by older types)

Fine models, neat weathering and do I detect a lovely prototypical slight sag in the middle of the bogie? Certainly works for me.

Thanks guys, I put this post in the wrong place, so I will post it again in my workbench thread.

There might be a slight sag in the middle caused by me gluing a new floor on and didn't notice

the bend until it was to late.

Very subtle, but it just looks right with at heavy load on.
