StephenB Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 They began life as GNR(I) cement vans in the 1950’s but in later life were used by CIE as general box vans. Keep up the good work. Stephen 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Excellent result. Provincial Wagons did an early run of the GNRI Cement Van, I think Leslie is considering bringing them out again in CIE livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Darius, I am one of your greatest fans, but ..... At the risk of being booh'ed off the site, I make these, RTR at the same price. You will have to weather it, of course - one of Colm's mate's did a beautiful job of that on my original GNR ones. See my other post re the 2024 ones (there was an earlier pair in 2023). One in brown, one with a two colour wheel at £35 the pair. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
