Those look REALLY good!

Brilliant as always - I like that use of an old six-wheel passenger brake.

Now THATS a rare one! I had no idea they’d ever been north of Drogheda!

Would the good folks in IRM Towers be able to comment?

For me, update is the desktop now loads it at reasonable (but not fast) pace; mobile now very bad loading it, but lightning fast with all other websites.

I’m going to print that off as a guide!!

These look amazing. May I ask if an 00 gauge version is likely?

Yes, still an issue. Won't open on mobile at all, and when it does on this ("big" computer), some pictures won't open.

Indeed, and their various translations of Bray have all been held to be suspect. But - to go to a point Mayner made which I had omitted to remember - a private siding would not, indeed, have had any sign on the railway at all, let alone a bilingual one. These were only for railway signage and name boards, particularly in the passenger parts of stations. By law in Ireland a private company (like a mill) isn’t, and never was, under any compulsion to have bilingual signage, whereas a state utility (like post-nationalisation (1950) CIE) was. The GSR was never a nationalised utility, but in its station signage it behaved as one, although there were many examples of stations which lasted well into CIE times with original pre-grouping English-only signs. So for “Mol’s Mill”, the oval device of the milling company would, if strict accuracy is preferred, really be the only show in town.

That Webb seal looks well! Maybe a tidied up, black-on-white version, enlarged? The GSR bilingual signs of the late 1920s were enamelled, so they were flat.

I’d go with the second font - I think it stands out best. The “Q” on the last one is no more “Irish” than mandarin!

Agreed. Behind the TPO appears to be a newish laminate or else 1951-3 era CIE standard. The DSER coach would only be there to carry mailbags.

Reminds me of what I posted earlier in the Dugort Harbour thread!

I'll be Enterprising again soon into the new year. Hope it's a DD, not a 29 class!

Yes - I had actually thought it was long gone by then.
