iarnrod Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Will the fertiliser bag loads have printed bags as per the prototype or what's the plan for them? Actually have one of these bags lying around somehwere if you need it for detailing the load. Quote

The individual bags wouldn't really be visible on the loaded pallet, as they were wrapped in a protective polythene cover... 1 Quote

The albatros yellow bagged fertilzer seems to have been bagged in clear pallet bags initially but a white cover with Albatross logo later on Edited July 12, 2019 by DiveController 2 1 Quote
richrua Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Wow. What a great looking wagon. What's the maximum era for these ? I mean from when and to when did they run ? Edited July 12, 2019 by richrua 1 Quote

However it got me thinking or maybe I'm just having a 'Senior' moment. Was this traffic originating from New Ross and manufactured by a different company i.e. not Irish Fertiliser? Ernie Quote

Georgeconna Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Corr!, I made a loud gasp when I saw the piccies. Having made a few of the MIR jobbies I can say these are outstanding and light years ahead or what was previously on offer. Hats off to ye lads. 1 Quote

Hi Pops, We did look at opening doors but the mechanism on the real ones (they slid back into the partitions of the wagon when opened!) was just too complex and cost prohibitive to do in OO, so they are fixed. 5 hours ago, richrua said: Wow. What a great looking wagon. What's the maximum era for these ? I mean from when and to when did they run ? They were introduced in 1974 and withdrawn in 2003 (hard to believe it's 16 years ago!) 1 hour ago, irishthump said: Whoa!

leslie10646 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Just a thought Fran, if you put a wee bit of metal in the bale of fertiliser bags, we could get them out with a magnet ....... Edited July 12, 2019 by leslie10646 1 Quote
leslie10646 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Well, not bad - TWO Merchant Navies I've had runs behind, plus one a`waiting restoration (35010). 35023 gave me 94mph on the last Saturday of Southern steam, my second "ninety" with her. A rake of four will be about the price of a single 35xxx loco! I can get rid of some Euros at Blackrock! Quote
