NIR Walrus Bogie Ballast Hoppers

[FrankS]

Hi Guys,

Another Question to the Brains Trust

Wanting to get some use out a favourite rake of 4 UK Bogie Ballast Hoppers on my Irish Layout, I've kitbashed them a bit and am repainting them in the Yellow NIR livery and am ordering a set of decals from Whesty.

I've found some photos of the Walrus on the Downpatrick Museum line, but I haven't been able to find a photo which shows the position of the NIR Logo when they were in NIR service.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a photo or maybe a You Tube clip which shows them in NIR service, please ?

Any help much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Frank Savery,

Tends to be second to last panel, midway, or just below the rivet crease.

Thanx BosKonay ~ How's that for service

Those photos are just what I wanted. I knew If I took a chance on it, someone would point it out or I'd buy a new book with a photo AFTER I'd sprayed the final coat of matt varnish.

Stick up some photos of the work in progress They make a lovely model

I find it ironic that for all they're failings the NIR 1 class out lasted the Hunslets and are now working in a cement factory on the far side of the world.. Lovely pic, I'm guessing the location is Magheramore??
