Great Northern Railway of Ireland locomotive coal wagons.  Model kit available from Provincial Wagons:  https://provincialwagons.com/kits-available/



Cavan & Leitrim Railway's Arigna Branch ran from the Arigna coal mines to Ballinamore.  You'll find a handful of photos showing coal wagons here:  https://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/06/15/the-cavan-and-leitrim-railway-the-arigna-tramway/.  A number of years ago, Foxrock Models (Simon de Souza) produced CLR coal wagons.  Someone else apparently also did a casting or a 3D print: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/blogs/entry/24609-irish-interlude-3-cavan-and-leitrim-coal-wagon-now-with-chassis/.
