In 1950 the board of Corás Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) appointed Oliver Bulleid as its Chief Mechanical Engineer. Bulleid, renowned as designer of the distinctive Merchant Navy and Light Pacific locomotives during his tenure with the Southern Railway in England, did not have an opportunity to pursue his legendary innovativeness to the same extent in Ireland, but his arrival nonetheless heralded a period of modernisation and standardisation.

Apart from implementing the complete transition to diesel motive power, he also set about standardising CIÉ’s fleet of rolling stock with his patented triangulated underframe providing the basis.

Perhaps the most recognisable of the goods vehicles was the humble open wagon with its galvanised pressed metal body. More than 2,500 were constructed at Inchicore between 1956 and 1969, with up to twelve being outshopped each week at the height of production.

Corrugated Wagons Roundel Pack 2.

At long last, the corrugated Irish wagon in 00 scale. A simple wagon for the Irish Railway fleet of yesteryear and at long last IRM the sub Accurascale hand of the manufacturer are here. I never thought they would see the light of day, to be shimmering as a rake behind one of my Irish locomotives. IRM have captured the model excellently in these triple packs, for detail and looks. The printing and details maybe a bit basic looking for a wagon, but this is how they were. The simplicity captured to a tee, but beautifully presented.
