I was rather surprised how small the CIÉ magnesite wagons actually are and they are packed with detail and should be handled carefully. Sitting on my layout they blend in neatly with the old brick buildings. I'm not brave enough to want to weather them yet or at all, maybe in couple of years... I look forward to adding an appropriate locomotive at some time in the near future as I have none. The reason I chose to add some Irish rolling stock to my typically English , Scottish and Welsh themed rolling stock came about accidently when I competed an Ancestry.com DNA test. It revealed I have 76% Irish DNA from both my parents combined even though they are Scottish born. Well, that was enough for me (oh yes, in the images thats the Guiness kegs and wagons in the background)
