Iarnród Éireann (IE) are the Irish Railway organisation that are responsible for the expansion and replacement of the Irish Rail Network.

The Chief Engineer Infrastructure manages the maintenance and renewal of our railway infrastructure. This infrastructure includes the railway track, the land it is on, bridges, signalling cabins, stations, platforms and anything else which is needed to carry the trains.

Scale Vehicles for Model Railways have been contacted by model rail enthusiasts requesting model vehicles that are liveried or carry logos of the vehicles that are part of the Irish rail network. This page hopefully will expand with different vehicles as demand for them grows and more images of the actual vehicles used become available.

If you have a suggestion for a new model, or indeed images of Irish Rail vehicles, contact us and we will investigate the feasibility of producing the model.

Iarnród Éireann (IE) Mercedes Econic Flatbed Truck - 1/76 Scale

Iarnród Éireann (IE) Mercedes Econic Flatbed Truck - 1/76 Scale

This is a code 3 die cast metal model, modified and finished to a high standard.

The model is finished with a detailed interior, side mirrors, highly detailed wheels, realistic front and rear lamps, Mercedes logo, exhaust pipe etc.

The model has been dismantled entirely and re-built with a modified flat bed body which has been re-sprayed in a very realistic aluminium paint finish.

As is becoming more popular in many track maintenance vehicles, the body is self contained within the chassis wheel-arch dimensions without side overhang, as to allow the truck to access confined areas where width is an issue.

Iarnród Éireann use this sort of flatbed truck as work horses in their daily rail operations building and maintaining the Irish rail network.

This model would look great anywhere on your Irish modern image layout, in the depot, next to the tracks, locomotives, rolling stock or just on the road.

This model, indeed this page is a test to see what the demand is for Irish Rail Model Vehicles, so if you would like one for your layout with IE logos fitted, now is your chance to own one.

Click on the images above and take a closer look at the model.

• IE high quality decals fitted to the cab side either side and front (as shown).

• Highly realistic roof bar light fitted to the cab

Only one Iarnród Éireann (IE) Mercedes Econic Flatbed Truck (generally in the centre or foreground of images) are included in an auction, all other scenery, people, track, locomotives, vehicles etc shown in the pictures are NOT included.
