HI All

 

I would say Feb some time as the tooling is now good for go.

Also in the same batch will be MSC,Maersk Old "silver" and Hamburgs sud.

 

I will keep you all posted.

HI All

 

Some of the partial decorated ones i received with the bell to see if i like the colours.

 

Regards Arran

 

 

Aha, some lovely stuff on the way so!

 

MSC and Hamburg Sud would make a nice inaugural IWT train :)

HI All

 

Dose anyone have Pics of the Blue B+I containers that were also quite common back in the 80s on Irish railways.

 

I've been asked by a good number of customers about this company but i have NO info on this.

And to think that the former freight yard is now only used for parking railcars.

 

True, but at least it still serves a purpose... would be worse if the rails were lifted. :)

Is there not a sexy little CIE 40' container taking pride of place in that yard Pat? And as for Limerick, there's a massive gantry crane... greatful for small mercies as me mam says...!

There is indeed, Richie... and there's a couple of shabby Uniload containers in the yard behind the bus garage. :)

HI

 

The one were looking into and have the price for is the 20ft flat, I cant see anyone jumping in and doing that wagon strait off.

 

The Chassis if my information is correct can be used under a number of wagons including the beat wagon.

Cant seem to find a nice display box, but this might do

I actually ran a rake of 10 in the MRSI on Friday evening, ran well but no weight in either the wagon or the container so I loaded them with lead over the bogies, glued them on and then packing tape over both blocks, belt & braces as it were!
