CIE Gunpowder Van. The van is based on a photo taken by Ger McMahon at Tralee in the 1970s. It appears to be a gunpowder van, but may by then have been in traffic as just another van. If I can unearth any better description, I'll include it here. It offers a break from the usual profile of vans which CIE had.

CIE Bagged Cement Van. This is the GNR(I) van which I have produced already, but as it ran in the days soon after the dissolution of the GNR(I). So, gone are the letters "GN" and in their place the famous emblem - The Flying Snail.

Open wagon No.3616
At the dissolution of the GNR(I) in 1958, the wagon fleet was divided between the Ulster Transport Authority and Coras Iompair Eireann. This open wagon ended up with CIE.
On 3rd November 1960 it was captured on film at Bandon on the former Cork Bandon and South Coast Railway, by the estimable John Langford. It is in this guise that we represent the wagon. It was on an Up Goods, hauled by a green C202 (as now modelled by Silver Fox).
It is still carrying its GNR lettering and as was the custom, simply the stencilled letters "CIE". If you want to use it as a pure GNR wagon, a daub of grey paint will complete an easy conversion!
Just for a change, it will comes with a timber load!
It has Dapol's new, smaller, tension lock couplings, very reminiscent of Fleischmann's earlier couplings which I have always thought were on the best around.
