      Massively so. Personally, I thought the West Cork equivalent was actually extremely poor.

      Bus Eireann recovery truck

      By Newtoncork · Posted

      Not sure, I remember the older one in Cork, but it does seem that the recovery trucks are much older than the buses they are recovering. Looks like they only change them every 40 years or so.

      How many of them did Bus Eireann have to start with?

      Irish steam confirmed

      By Horsetan · Posted

      Not that easy. The smokebox/G8AS parallel boiler/firebox and possibly the cylinders and outside motion are directly transferable from the Fowler engine, likewise pony and trailing bogie, but the chassis frames appear different. The 6ft driving wheels are shared with the Stanier Black 5. The tank and bunker plate work are also Stanier/Fairburn-like, without being a direct swap with either of those 2-6-4T designs. If it had been that easy, Hornby would have had alternative tooling for their Fowler 2-6-4T ready years ago.
