Those look a little tricky for 21 mm gauge, for those so minded? The axleguards / springs seem to be on a sub-frame that sits inside the solebars, so that whilst being a comfortable fit for standard 26 mm pin-point axles, from a three-quarter view they are obviously set too far back. Nevertheless, nice-looking models superbly finished by your good self. What's the standard buffer centres for Irish gauge? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for your information, Stephen (and others) if you are modelling in 21mm gauge, I'll supply as much of any of my kits as you require, suitably discounted! These kits (a short run only) use a variation of an existing chassis (this one is 9ft6in wheelbase), but you can use your own chassis on some of my kits if you wish.

Leslie (Provincial Wagons) Thanks. I suppose there are conventional compromises generally adopted in Irish 4 mm scale modelling on 16.5 mm gauge; I can see just how your bodies can be used with bespoke chassis. I'm not, in fact, a modeller of Irish prototypes but I have very much admired the Irish P4 layouts I have seen - just as I admire @kirley's 00 modelling.

leslie10646 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Yes, @kirley is not just one of my best customers, but, as you say a very impressive modeller. His freight rolling stock collection has more wagons in it than the whole of the present IR freight fleet! Thanks, Kieran, for the tip re decal softener to get over the ironwork - of course Dundalk just had a guy with a stencil who sloshed it on, then tidied up any missing bits! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Provincial Wagons - Ex GNRI Bagged Cenent Vans Was at the South Dublin Model Railway Show on Saturday and picked up Leslie McAllister's latest models. They needed some cosmetic work on them so I removed the chassis and re-sprayed them grey. Picked up some spare bogies from the IRM Stand, you never know when they will come in useful. Then a bit of weathering to finish them off. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted October 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2023 Nice work there on the CMAC Class 450 Kieran. I have this kit in the stash and the bogies look a bit too chunky to me. Will you be replacing them? Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the worn look too, these things were never pristine, and often so weathered that for all anyone knew, they could have been originally painted silver, pink and gold the last time they saw a paintbrush (in 1567)….. Hint, though; being a MGWR design, 19M rather than 19 (19 would have been ex-GSWR and they were different). Beautiful model! Wish I had that skill…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
