That looks fantastic. How did you do the green fertiliser bags? Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drem Junction Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Kieran I am pleased that my photo inspired you. Nice work. From what I can recall it was not unusual for the fert bags to be coloured, but for rail transport they were wrapped in an outer plastic film which was often white. As is apparent from the photo in the book, the wrapping at Rathmore was clear so we can see the bags through it. I have seen the clear wrapping in use several times. Not all the fertiliser came from IFI, and the bags could be different depending on the manufacturer. However, yours are now clearly the same type as seen at Rathmore - prototypical as your scenes always are. Can't stop - busy working on Volume 3.

kirley Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks Drem Junction for your permission to post your photograph. I am reliably informed the loads in your picture were ICI Cut Swart and Pasture Swart fertiliser on the pallets. Delighted to see you posting Jim and maybe we will see see some pictures of your Loughrea branch line soon, whenever you finish Irish Railways Line By line Vol.3?

kirley Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 KIRLEY JUNCTION - Magnesite Wagons These wagons from IRM took a long, long time coming but they were eventually delivered on Friday. The detail on these wagons is so good I had to be extra careful in handling them in case I did damage. First run out on Kirley Junction. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenB Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Yes, they took a long time to be delivered in the UK compared to the rest of the world but they are so worth the wait. Stephen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirley Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 KIRLEY JUNCTION - CIE 20' Flat Wagons. I had gathered 20' flats from Provincial Wagons and IFM but never seemed to have enough for my containers and other loads. Owen O'Neill from 3D Printing, Cork offered to to design and print some. The buffers and hooks came separate and you also had to add wheels, coupling hooks and paint them. The following video is my 20' wagons in action. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 SLNC Rolling Stock SLNC Open Wagon Thanks to Ernie’s wonderful photo archive I got a glimpse of an open wagon with these heavy supports on the outside of the body. Gareth Brennan donated a Cambrian kit which I adapted to look like the SLNC’s one. Just to add the brake gear and paint. Finished of the Cambrian wagon conversion and added two of Provincial Wagons Covered Vans to the rake. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
