Arran Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 HI ALL Some one told me Bell had 20ft tanks. Is there any pics out there of this. Regards Arran Quote
0 aclass007 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I never saw them.... Maybe someone will prove me wrong.... Quote
0 Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I cant remember ever seeing them but a possibility is they were rented for a contract and had decals stuck on.It would be nice if some one said yes and had a pic. Quote
0 Riversuir226 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) As far as i know they did have them, the nearest i ve come to prove is this bell liner 2nd wagon after the loco, i think Mr Mayner took it http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff277/majral/Wagon%20s/CorkWaterfordBellLiner.jpg http://www.irishships.com/images/Bell%20Lines/Paddy%20Roche/DSCF1962.JPG http://www.irishships.com/images/Bell%20Lines/Bell%20Pioneer.jpg Edited June 25, 2013 by Riversuir226 Quote
0 jhb171achill Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 There were tank containers all right - but I never recall seeing any with Bell markings on them. Having said that, I don't remember what else they might have had. Overall, "normal" containers comprised most goods traffic, just as "H" vans had a few years earlier. Quote
0 WRENNEIRE Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Found these beauties , a little off topic but probably the nicest tank containers I have seen (if Carlsberg did containers kind of thing) ACRYLONITRILE Quote

0 RedRich Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Very nice shots lads's and 10 out of 10 for finding them. I can't remember ever seeing the wagon in Dave's pics. Did it actually ever run in service like that. Some other nice pieces of locos and wagons in the background also. Rich, Quote
0 Glenderg Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Aye, appears it did Rich. At least once anyway Quote

0 Weshty Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Merciful hour, but where do you lads find these little beauties?? I've never seen one of those photos before. Pure class. Regarding Glebderg's post http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmig...57626386375365 Looking at network efficiencies, isn't pulling two four wheelers with a 2000bhp engine, just a tad overkill? Wouldn't a G class have done the job Quote

0 BosKonay Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Wow - they are gorgeous!! C-Rail should make them ! Quote
0 John-r Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Sorry to take Arran's thread a little of topic , what tank liveries do run on irish rails and who makes them , still fairly new to irish scene and a lot of catching up to do ? Many thanks all. John Quote
0 Eiretrains Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 The acrylonitrile train often ran with just 2-4 tanks, with a 20ft container at one or either end acting as a barrier wagon. It was a very specialised flow using the highly flammable content and operated for the Asahi plant in Killala, the train been Dublin-Ballina. In later years the flow was sometimes tacked onto the end of ordinary liner trains. The service ended with Asahi closing in 1997. The siding in Dublin for Asahi was on the Alexandra Road. Quote
0 WRENNEIRE Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Wow - they are gorgeous!! C-Rail should make them ! They already do Quote
0 Arran Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 HI All Well if anyone can get permission I will do the Guinness one But i would need good quality pics and some colour specs Regards Arran Quote
0 Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I should think you would need to contact Guinness directly your self Arran as word of mouth would not be permission and as well they could possibly help with the decal size as they get the last say in what way the tanks would be liveried. You may find they would put you in contact with the company who make the vinyl advert and i am sure they would oblige you as most companies would when they find out its for a model.Best of luck with what ever your doing for the future. http://www.guinness.com/en-gb/ Regards Gareth.

0 Kirley Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 HI All Well if anyone can get permission I will do the Guinness one But i would need good quality pics and some colour specs Regards Arran I have heard that Diageo has refused other model maker authority to use the Guinness Logo and threatened to prosecute them if they did.

0 aclass007 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I have heard that Diageo has refused other model maker authority to use the Guinness Logo and threatened to prosecute them if they did. Are they trying to drive us to drink, or something? Quote
