heirflick Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 saw 082 with the new bogied spoil wagons in the depo doing a shunt into the yard before being shut down for the day-the sky tells of whats to come! Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Nice pics Seamus i hope you had the umbrella with you. Quote
Warbonnet Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Some poor pics taken of the wagons in Portarlington on Monday. Quote
heirflick Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 just noticed that there doesnt seem to be any dropsides on the bodies-how are they emptied? Quote
thewanderer Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Were the Portarlington pictures before or after that Monster Thunderstorm we had on that day? Quote

dave182 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Just a comment on these spoil boxes as we all use these threads as reference for models- I've just noticed for the first time that hoods have been fitted at each end of the 42' spoil wagons, I assume to stop spoil building up in the gap between the boxes and the wagon buffers.

(video credit: irishrailvidios) You're right, the ones in Portalington only have a small hood in mid-wagon whet the split is Quote

Correct Dave. Also, note the hoods fitted to cover the gap between the two boxes to prevent stones falling in there as well. Warbonnet's picture taken in Portarlington (see above post) shows the hood between two boxes, but the end hoods are not in evidence. Quote
