Good Wagon in field in Birr, Co Offaly

[WaYSidE]

Goods Wagon, no wheels,

The wagon is on Nenagh rd just outside Birr, first field after last houses on bad bend, wagon on right as you leave town.

 

Sorry i couldn't measure the wagon, was on private property and I on business driving past,

so i hopped over the wall, took the photos quickly. looks like 50's 60's Cie goods wagon

i wanna take it home!

End to end joy

above photo with vent, part rivited on this side upright on pressed steel angle iron, maybe its older than 1950's

then its bolted on at the other end of wagon , opp' end see below and 3rd pic down, could been repaired earlier wagon

didnt see any markings

 

 

the frame

 

door hinge detail, i love rust, no realy, i go to great lenghts to capture rust on all sorts of old items, see those nuts, me thinks there 1950's

below is door on far side, by road with flashing, looked like alloy not lead,

sorry was rushing, didnt think to check.

 

below, as plywood was manufactured way back, no clues there, as too age

 

ah sure what about another glorious view, smaller image than first pic, i noticed those boards on ground

and theres some yellowish green paint... ye are licking the lips by now

is that a Cie logo? doubt it, but as timber expanded so did paint, maybe a sellers mark, drips and all

yummy. either great steel or not that old? i thought pins like this were 1930's not 1950's

Very good, you must have used a whole roll of film on that.

Bog standard CIE "H" van. Steel looks solid, could be restored with minimum difficulty. ( As a shed rather than a runner)

Omit the insulation and then it would be a Dublin home.
