Have Chassis - will travel

[leslie10646]

 

First take a Bulleid triangulated chassis:

 

Add a corrugated body and you've got one of several thousand of these iconic wagons;

 

Add a steel van body and you get an H van (two above, of different eras)

 

Finally, (for the moment), add a crude wooden platform and you get a Ballast Flat, which as well as its "proper" use got used to carry cars, or farm machinery, to Backwoods Ireland in the 1960s/1970s. 50 of these wagons were built using the chassis from H vans. I'm waiting for the transfers to complete the job.

 

 

 

All available at Raheny in a couple of weeks!

Oh, it's the chassis Michael created for the corrugated wagon and I guess he has reused his Master on the successive wagons. Same logic as the IRM guys will use on their Ballasts and Bubbles, except that this is a resin kit of course.

The little Ballast wagon is thanks to Patrick Dillane in Ireland's Other Island - across the Atlantic - who spotted a photo on the Internet of the wagon with an Austin 1800 on it, sitting in a siding somewhere.

 

I sent the photo, and a little suggestion to Michael who sent me a photo of the finished KIT about two weeks later.

 

Happy Days.

Here is a link to the photo. Check out the whole collection, the photos are priceless for anyone interested in goods wagons.

That's an excellent archive of CIE wagons.

Time to put up a photo the Ballast Flat complete with the Railtec Transfers applied (very badly by me).

 

 

Steve has done a neat job as a single transfer suffices for the Work's Plate (complete with the wagon's number) and the usual stencilled number.

 

I'll have a supply of the kit at Raheny for just 22 Euros. Feel free to reserve one by PM or via my website. I have only had twenty made to date, so grab it while you can.

 

A useful little wagon, whether for use with a pile of sleeps, or ballast; or, as I show here, delivering a new Landcover to a farmer .....
