Oil Tank Wagon Pics

[djkonore]

Does anyone have any pictures or a link to any pictures of some Irish Oil Tank Wagons please? I have a rake of oil tank wagons almost complete. I have the transfers from Weshty ready to go on, but I want to make sure that I'm putting them on in the right places. Thanks in advance. I'll put some pics up on my workbench once they're completed!

Thanks lads that's great!

I notice that the ladders are only painted white in some pictures, was this a modification that was introduced later on? If so, does anyone know when? My layout is late 80's - early 90's. I might get away without having to paint them!

the ladders were painted to make them noticeable to prevent accidents usually just at the ends a foot or so of white paint to mark them out as to define them forhealth and safety reasons

Thanks for the pics and info guys. I have some pics of my attempt of some Bachmann Oil Tank Wagons I adapted on my workbench.

I dont know if there is a rtr model but one of these would be a bit different http://www.srpsmuseum.org.uk/10153.htm a rake of these wagons formed the Inchacore Oil Train in the late 70s-80s.

 

The wagons were originally used by Caltex with a silver barrel with large black lettering and a horizontal red band along the centre of the barrel similar to the Ammonia tank wagons these were later re-branded for Texaco with similar style of lettering and the red banding moved to the solebars.

 

These would be a challenge to paint and letter as years Caltex lettering and band down the centre of the barrel was clearly visiblewhile in fuel train use beneath the Texaco branding.

 

There may be some photos of these wagons around as many of thee older tank wagons were stored of the Dardanell Sidings until East Wall yard was re-modelled in the early 2000s.

Are the tanks in Heuston being used for anything?? Thought they were just in storage/rust collection.. The one in Limerick is kept in use with the deliveries at least!!!
