Noel,

General answer, based on photo evidence, is that the Bredins/early standard CIE coaches built in the early 1950s ran on GSR bogies. I use Bachmann LMS bogies to replicate these.

Laminates, built from the mid '50s to early 60s appear to have been equipped with Commonwealth bogies. Again, Bachmann do these as spares.

Hope this helps.

Just to clarify re. the Commonwealth bogies, CIÉ used a 'lightweight' pattern for coaching stock which differed visually from the pattern used by BR. I understand @Weshty at Studio Scale Models is working on this bogie...

Yes indeed, the irish "Commonwealth" is a much different creature than the UK version.  I will be releasing this in the new year in  a comprehensive mould set for a Laminate / Park Royal / 50's Bredin. 

Bogies
Battery Box
Buffers
Gangway etc.

Thanks Guys

Will these be resin, brass or white metal?

I was vaguely aware that the Commonwealth bogies used by CIE were different but I have to say that I struggle to see the differences. Maybe I just don't want to!

Westhy/Des, while on the subject of bogies, any plans to make the GNR 10' bogies, as used under K15 coaches etc ?

Cheers,

Glover

Here's the BR commonwealth:

 

And here's the CIÉ version:

Thanks Garfield,

I can now see how the CIE version is less complicated, more lightweight, as you say.

Cheers,

All in whitemetal.

My k15 kits are supplied with gnr bogies
