With Corás Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) rolling out a series of freight stock throughout the 1950s-1960s based on a standardised triangulated underframe developed by its then-Chief Mechanical Engineer, Oliver Bulleid, attention turned to transportation requirements for the company’s own diesel fuel oil supplies. A total of 21 tank wagons were constructed at Inchicore during 1956 to augment and replace older types then in use. These tankers, with an 11-ton capacity, were a common sight throughout the network, conveying diesel from the importation point at Dublin Port to locomotive depots of all sizes, as well as occupying sidings at stations to supply CIE’s fleet of road vehicles in those localities.

Diesel Tanks review

Wagons are nicely finished and have some nice weight to them and additional items packed securely. I do wonder though why two wagons are stencilled with product description and 3rd wagon left blank, this does seem as if a mistake was made.

Fuel tankers

Very nice models, but why are the buffers 23mm apart (4ft 8.5in gauge). rather than 25mm for 5ft 3in gauge. It would have been nice to have a location for the brakes to be easily moved out to align with scale wheels. This applies to all the Bulied undeframes. The ability to drop in scale wheels i’d very welcome.
