BosKonay Posted June 5, 2012 Share 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

201bhoy Posted June 5, 2012 Share 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!

Garfield Posted June 5, 2012 Share 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!).

Garfield Posted June 7, 2012 Share 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...
