BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 From my records, coming soon includes rakes of : - Beets - Timber (20' and 40'(!) - Cement (full rakes of bogie and bubbles) - 20' flats with kegs - fuel oil train - ballast train - weedspray - pocket wagons - container flats - autoballasters And then assorted tampers and per way stuff. As well as two NIR ballast in the pic (not sure of their origin), a rake of seacows and odds and ends The two NIR ballast are based on this prototype:
BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 If you could fit in in, a port would be excellent? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
201bhoy Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 hmmmmmmmmmmmmm You could have a freight terminal like the one at North Wall with a crane, and then have another spur on to the pier like the one at Dublin port where they load the containers!
BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Heir flick. I reckon they were. Have them in a box for years with no notes! Pier eh.......... Tempting....
heirflick Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 they are beautiful wagons...would look great being pulled by a gm or a C class nir metro-vic!
BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I've a lovely weathered NIR c class paired with them. Just need to find it Edited June 5, 2012 by BosKonay
Castletown Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I've a lovely weathered NIR c class paired with them. Just need to find it Photos or we won't believe you.
BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 lol - will have a dig in the boxes tomorrow Will dig out the seacows too
ttc0169 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Well done on your layout BosKonay,Its coming along nicely,you have a great variety of rolling stock also.
Garfield Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Does anyone know where the model comes from? The NIR ballast hoppers are ex-SNCF wagons. In model form, they were produced in a limited run, so getting hold of them is hard (I know, I've been trying to get some for my French project!).
heirflick Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I've a lovely weathered NIR c class paired with them. Just need to find it here you go Bos, just weathered this one, and i will send her up to you on loan till you find yours!!
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 That not weathered Bro its to clean Looks good though on the back of that big Scania
heirflick Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That not weathered Bro its to clean Looks good though on the back of that big Scania give me a chance anto...im only a novice!!!!
BosKonay Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Cheers - the Scania pulled up an hour ago with her on board
201bhoy Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Lovely photos, but I've had to turn my head to all sorts or strange angles to see them! I've found out that a handstand is best
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Lovely photos, but I've had to turn my head to all sorts or strange angles to see them! I've found out that a handstand is best Its a ploy to get us all fit for the Olympic,s Nice pics by the way.

heirflick Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 those wagons really are a nice piece of work! as they are ex sncf- they dont appear to be HO gauge, or is the french wagons modelled in oo? and Bos..dont forget to pay the driver-cash will do nicely!!
Garfield Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks for that Garfield! Any more details! I'll try and dig out details of who manufactured them... can't remember right now. Edit: just saw the pics of your hoppers and they look like they're the ballast hoppers Jouef produce. A different type to the ones NIR use... Edited June 7, 2012 by Garfield
Barl Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Glad to see some of the models got out of their boxes:). Layouts coming along very nicely too!
BosKonay Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Cheers Barl The fuel oil train is getting a dedicated siding and tank area shortly
