0 IrishModelRail Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'd say eiretrains.com has a fair few photos of some refuelling points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Glenderg Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 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.

0 krose Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not 100% sure but is that a refueling point in the 4th & 5th picture on this page? http://www.drehscheibe-foren.de/foren/read.php?17,4164422 Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRENNEIRE Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Any use? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Knightwing-PM103-2-x-BR-Diesel-Refueling-Point-Kits-New-/150894136971?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2321fdce8b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 minister_for_hardship Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 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.

0 Kirley Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 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.

0 Warbonnet Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mayner Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 RedRich Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 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.
