Ammonia Wagons/Kits

[Irish Rail]

Several years ago around 2013/14 I remember a company making ammonia wagons as kits this was after the MIR kits of the 90/00s

Are they no no longer available?

It was Irish Freight models that i couldn't find they use to sell finished versions of the SSM models I think 

Are they gone now do you know?

Still producing models, but as far as I know you can only order via their Facebook page now. In the past it could be done through the website.

Checked Irish Freight Models, the Ammonia tank isn't listed anymore and the barrier wagon is marked as out of stock. Tom doesn't have a web site now, only on facebook.

Cheers is there much difference in the quality of the kit model between SSM & MIR?

Just finishing off one from ebay. First attempt at kit, and found it fairly straight forward.

I've recently been working on the SSM kit. It's brass, so a little more work involved in the build. But the detail is fantastic, and in my opinion well worth effort when you see the end result.

in the early 1980's the net train was paint bombed, i remember seeing the wagons and locos covered in bright pink, blue and cream splodges as they passed through Dalkey. it was locals protesting against the danger of ammonia in urban areas. some years later i heard a big fire was lit on the wicklow line, again in protest.
