CIE 6w Heating Vans

[Mayner]

Has anyone a copy of a CIE GA or Weight/Painting diagram of the 6w Heating Vans?

 

I will consider producing a set of etched brass parts for the van including chassis and roof, if I get a minimum of 10 expressions of interest and a copy of the all important drawing.

Would be interested in this somewhat unique van. At least one maybe two

Hi John

Thanks, you could count me in for two if it is this van below (posted by Richie back in 2014). I love the shape and the smooth curved arc of the tumbledown. I travelled on trains with these in the 60s. I presume these pre-dated the Dutch vans by a decade.

I'll have two of the six wheel Vans from you please.

 

Ref Drawings. Richard McLachlan has/is taking photographs of drawings in the IRRS's possession. Do you have his contact details? If not,I can contact him to enquire if he can be of assistance to you with this project. He may be able to sourcing the required drawings and photograph them for you!

Count me in for one or maybe two. I would also like you to consider re-releasing the 4w van

[waffles]

IRRS do not have a copy of the 6w steam van

But would be very happy to take a lend of a drawing for duplicating for its collection. original drawing and a digital copy would be returned to owner .

[Richard EH]

This would be nice, please count me in for one in due course!

 

Many thanks!

 

Richard.

Yes I would take three for defo. Love that one. Have that pic in the shed saved as I was going to attempt a scratch at some stage, but this would be mucho better

[DiveController]

Well, that's 10, maybe 12. Seems we need an absent drawing

[Ral2011]

I would also take one.

John would also consider rerunning the 4wheel van if he had sufficient interest ,

 

personally Id buy two, ( the 4w were far more prevalent then the 6w)

Ah Dave your just saying that cause you know I'm keen on the iconic 6w and its Craven like sectional profile. :)

 

PS: Dear site Admins is there a reason there is a mandatory 5 minutes delay between posts. This only started last week? Its really annoying when one has been off the site for a while, later visit to read some interesting threads and perhaps reply to more than one? As an admin on two other forums we have used such features to stop some folk 'chatting online' in the early hours and cluttering the forum with trivia, but not sure such problem exists on IRM.

Hi John,

Put me down for 1 six wheeler and 1 four wheeler if there is a re-run
