LNERW1 Posted Tuesday at 21:13 Posted Tuesday at 21:13 As part of my T Gauge- Benefits and Restrictions thread, I have been providing Tgauge.com products that can be modified to represent IÉ, IR and CIÉ vehicles. While creating said thread, I have hit a roadblock when researching several units, partcularly modern IÉ ones. I have used Wikipedia as a source for car lengths (yes I know it's unreliable especially for Irish railways but it's a basic fact that's difficult to mess up, but also difficult to find elsewhere), however it does not list them for several units, namely the 2600, 27xx, 2800, 8200 and 85xx units. Although I'm currently only cataloguing options for the IÉ fleet, car lengths are also unavailable for NIR 3000s and 4000s, and De Dietrich sets. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Flying Snail Posted Tuesday at 23:16 Posted Tuesday at 23:16 (edited) Page 6 of this 2016 FOI request has the lengths of the passenger units then in service ... wagons and locos are also in the same document. https://www.irishrail.ie/getmedia/96710d73-a7de-46bf-b137-acf23b39341b/ie_foi_058_response_pack.pdf Edited Tuesday at 23:29 by Flying Snail
LNERW1 Posted 19 hours ago Author Posted 19 hours ago Thank you very much. I'm lucky to have already had great help from several people in IÉ and have all the car lengths down to the millimetre, but speaking of FOI requests, I did find this list of every item of Translink NIR stock as of September 2023 in my quest to find 3000 and 4000 car lengths.
