Diesel Refuelling Point

[Kirley]

Hi Guys, could those of you who have the gift of instant recall of photographs point me in the direction of photographs of any Diesel Refuelling Points please?

[IrishModelRail]

I'd say eiretrains.com has a fair few photos of some refuelling points.

Thin on the ground but there is one

 

http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20L/Limerick/IrishRailwayStations.html#Limerick_20111001_002_CC_JA.jpg. There is a loco stabling point with oil wagons further on up the line, but I've yet to locate a photo Kieran. I have a feeling Scahalane may have some of refuelling areas in Cork, or Finnyus on Flickr also. Busy tonight but will have a snout around tomorrow. R.

May be of use? Very modern though....

Not 100% sure but is that a refueling point in the 4th & 5th picture on this page?

For earlier scences, refuelling points were pretty informal in outlying areas, oil storage tank(s) and small pump house with yellow signs with black lettering reading CIE DIESEL FUEL OIL.

True Minister. This is the "arrangement" at Carrick-on-Shannon, which may be more appropriate for Clonmel

 

 

edit: Hey Krose, thanks for those photos! Great link. R.

Is that for buses/road vehicles fuelling, the hoses etc appear to be road-side?

[Kirley]

Thanks to all that have answered my query.

Dave, I have a Knightwing Kit and was wondering was it close to anything used in Ireland.

Excellent picture Richie, it's given me an idea!

Knose: thanks for the link - those are great pictures.

There's a how-to article on the building of a diesel fueling point coming up in the December issue of British Railway Modelling. Might be of use to you.

[Mayner]

Two of my favourites.

 

 

I was once misguided enough one Friday night to watch the re-fuelling of a pair of 201s rather than check out the bars around Eyer Square. The bunded tank and tripod arrangement seems to date from the 90s, Westport still had a single skinned tank on a concrete base similar to the Ratio Fuel Tank kit http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/1343_1_1039763.html

[Kirley]

Thanks Warbonnet & Mayner. John defiantly not Hi Tec anyway.

Great picture of Galway John!! Have you got any more of Galway around this time, interested in it as I often go there to stay with family!

201bhoy,

 

I found these photos while looking for photos of 076 around 1983, here's a few photos taken in Galway summer 1982 that might be of some use.

Other photos from around the country at that time are here;

201bhoy,

 

There is also some Galway photos at the very end of this page which were taken in 1995.

Those pictures are amazing Krose. A set of MM M11 aircons double headed by a pair of babies would look sweet. I actually hope that will see the MM M11 aircons in super train livery as I remember seeing them for the first time and thinking how cool and modern they were. I think every yard in the country will or did have different kinds of re-fuelling points. If I can get over to Waterford West during the week I will take a few shots of the re-fuelling point and put them in the photos section.

 

Rich,

[irishthump]
