dave182 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Looking for close ups of the 2-axle and bogie versions of the axle-carriers that operate out of Limerick, and I've seen them around Inchicore, and occasionally out in Fairview. I'm assuming they might also make an appearance at Drogheda and Portlaoise depots? Are bogie sets ever carried by rail here? Thanks in advance, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Jasus man, you were just waiting for someone to ask this question! Great pics by the way, 42' flats or longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 BY THE WAY, what are the purpose of the circular ope, standouts on the side frame, picked out in white on some, I notice them on a few wagons on CIE dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Great pics Glenderg! Does the bogie carrier ever leave Limerick on the transfers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Great shots Richie, you must have some 'library'. I take it these are specially constructed cradles that sit on top of the wagon? I like the 4 wheeled version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the bogie carrier ever leave Limerick on the transfers? http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2010photos/March-2010/i-Rpxqz8R Here is the wagon being unloaded. Great shots Richie, you must have some 'library'. I take it these are specially constructed cradles that sit on top of the wagon? I like the 4 wheeled version. 36 gigabytes at last count, and plenty yet to be filed away. Always on the hunt for more They appear to be 20' long and 8'2" wide to suit the 42' flats. Each time I try and figure out the profile of the wheel supports, it just makes my head hurt, and you'll need to make 21mm wheels too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewanderer Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Some of the best ones I could find. http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2012Photos/February-2012/i-kXtn6gN/X3 http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2008photos/June-2008/i-FD3W3dB/X2 http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2009photos/June-2009/i-dtjdDKw/X3 http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2014Photos/May-2014/i-TftV734/X3 Wheels are delivered to Laois Depot and Drogehda by road. Fairview used to get bogies via rail but I say its wheelsets by road now like the other depots. http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2006photos/November-2006/i-fM69S5m/L http://www.thewandererphotos.com/2006photos/November-2006/i-7DM7M9s - I got bowled by a 8100 unit here so not the shot I had hoped to get.
