is it just me, or were those things by far the ugliest and most unwieldy looking things ever to take to the rails in Ireland!

They are up against some stiff competition: 1st gen Sulzer Sci-fi B movie props, Morton's extended loco smokebox tumours, Guinness' Hudswell Clarke diesel/chelsea boot on wheels, Listowel & Ballybunion freak shows.

20’ flats for container traffic would be fantastic release. 

Like this one?

The one on the right is, basically, the chassis of my double beet wagon and is available from me for £23, post paid to UK. Discount on multiples.

I haven't done the skeleton version recently, but can have them made - they're VERY light, but with a container, no bother!

About a dozen parts, couplings, wheels and transfers. The easiest to built kit that I do.

Neither are on the website, but the basic flat is available NOW.

I think this takes some beating….IMG_2976.webp.a48a7b45a30d6ff4e2b655d72211001a.webp

That "...mental turf-burning locomotive" is several shades of insanity, but might work as a conversion kit to be added to an existing 355 class.

Thanks Noel they look right at home on Tara Junction 👍

The Uniload containers could be seen on rail, road and in yard's across the country 

I've uploaded some of my photos showing these, a few actually in service and a load used as stores etc.
