gm171 kk Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Does anyone know what length the ammonia tankers were and was it the 42ft or 47ft flat wagons that carried the water tanks? Quote
0 Riversuir226 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Des, I may have what your looking for its an rectangle with triangles on the top and bottom, the "rectangle" has writing on it but its heavily weathered. I don t have access to a scanner but I can give you a loan of the photo if thats anygood. Quote

0 Weshty Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 River, Thanks for that, I've a fair idea of the underside at this stage, now I just need time to design it. Quote

0 Weshty Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Test etches off next week Dave, both for ammonia and 42foot . Major props to the 'Dergmeister for his assistance Quote

0 gm171 kk Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 I'm really looking forward to the flats Des. Is there any way you would consider producing brass beer cages like the MIR ones? Quote
0 WRENNEIRE Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I'm really looking forward to the flats Des. Is there any way you would consider producing brass beer cages like the MIR ones? And maybe the beer barrels as well? Will the 42' need any weight attached as some of the 3d ones on sale at the moment cant go round any type of curve without having a shiethaemorrhage? Quote
0 iarnrod Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Weshty, will you be doing 47' flats aswell as most liners at present use the 47' flat instead of the 42' flat. In fact, I think there are no 42' flats used on liners anymore, but could be wrong on that. Quote

In fact, I think there are no 42' flats used on liners anymore, but could be wrong on that. Good call Noel, Please can you do the 47' Weshty? There is some 42ft still around but not on the liners, rail train, beet bogies and special ones for bogie transport. The 42ft flat is a good call though, other than the three above and the liner 42ft. The fertiliser could easily be built from weshtys 42ft chassis. Can t wait for the Ammonias:tumbsup: Edited June 3, 2013 by Riversuir226 Quote

Ah Dave, as the old radio ad used to go "you're a dab hand with the oul' repartee". Multi beer barrel packs being considered. Weight for 42' footers, several options in the head at the moment....

0 Riversuir226 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Nice one Des:tumbsup:, Last parcel of goodies went down a treat, keep up the good work. Quote
0 iarnrod Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Coola boola Weshty. Can't wait to see some pics when you get the samples. Hi all, 42 and 47 will be covered Quote
0 Weshty Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Getting stuck back into the R&D after the summer hiatus. I will keep you updated with progress. Quote
0 Weshty Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Hi all, Just to let you know that the Ammonia and 42' bogie flat test etch is currently with the etchers. I should have samples back in the next fortnight. These will then be built to enable the prototype to checked for accuracy and make the necessary adjustments, and enable detailed instructions to be written. Regards Weshty. p.s. Two other items are also well in the pipeline and should follow in the next month! More anon. Quote
0 Weshty Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 All, The barrier wagon etch is now also completed and gone to the etchers. I'm particularly delighted with this one, lots of extra detail and many thanks to George Norman for his photos that clarified the extra detail! Regards Des Quote
0 RedRich Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Very exciting times Des. The container flats are really a must for any layout as they were pretty much all over the network. The Ammonias and Barrier wagons are also very iconic. I remember spending a few hours in Bray watching Ammonia trains being hauled by 201's and some bagged cement trains for Wexford, and 071 hauled MK11's for Rosslare. Actually if you look at what is available now with Eoins Darts, MM locos and coaches, your own forthcoming wagons and other delights, D&M bagged cement wagons, Bray would make a nice layout. I think you should consider the timber flats Des, could you imagine how amazing they would look. They could be your Sgt Pepper's or Dark side of the moon. Rich, Quote

I got him back and fed him a taco chip one night, he hopped off the wall that night, darse burnt off 'im! Weshty is on fire lately, i've had sight of how the barrier wagon etch is put together, quite remarkable stuff - gimme plastic or card any day. Looking forward to seeing the test etch Des! *Rich - Dark Side trumps Sgt Pepper any day... Edited November 19, 2013 by Glenderg Quote

Dark Side is a timeless piece, a classic case of don't wish for something too hard or it might come true. Wish You Were Here, that infamous incident in Montreal on the Animals tour, and especially The Wall proved that. Rich, Quote
0 Weshty Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks lads, it's a great relief to have hit this milestone with the bulk of design and implementation completed. At this stage only the the Whitemetal detail needs to be finalised. As usual these projects take a lot more than you think to come to fruition and there's been a lot of late nights over the last two months. Fortunately, it's given me the chance to finish off several other pet projects and all will be revealed over the next few weeks. Oh and for my penny's worth, "Wish you were here" knocks DSOTM into a tin hat. Especially when approaching Skellig Micheal on Des Lavelle's boat with Parts 1-4 thundering through your ears on a walkman in 11984. Jaysusssss....... Edited November 19, 2013 by Weshty Quote
0 RedRich Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Des the time and effort that you put into the projects is hugely appreciated here and the hard work show's in the quality of your products. I'm really looking forward to the news over the next few weeks, exciting times in the hobby are ahead. Rich, Quote

0 Weshty Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Here's a little taster of what's to come. It's the test version of the Barrier Wagon Water Tank. More detail to follow in the coming days Edited January 19, 2014 by Weshty Quote
0 scahalane Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Great job Des, you captured her well. Quote
