In this day'n'age, many of our younger folks may not be aware that the blue livery only appeared in 1932, and to the end only applied to a minority of the GNR's locomotives - most were black! In similar news, the famous Donegal red for locomotives, with their red and cream carriage and railcar livery, was also a comparatively late development. Railcars were painted thus from the early 1930s, but it was even later, in 1937, that the iconic loco red, and carriage red & cream, appeared. Locos were lined black before that, and the earliest ones were green. The first few railcars were a very dark plum colour. -

Indeed - but only four were ever open at the same time! The CBPR replaced City Quay with Albert St., and the C & Y (GSW) replaced Summerhill with Glanmire Road; as did the GSWR instead of Penrose Quay.... -
Status update email from Accurascale is that these coaches are in transit to their warehouse with an ETA of 9 December. A bit more time to wait then. Cheers Darius -

Thank god it was not a Bulleid engine. I was only thinking I would love an O gauge one. Pity someone does bang out a few more tank engines, A P Class or an 02 would be lovely to go with the Dapol Terrier and would not break the bank either. I expect most of these will be stuffed and mounted! -
There were 5 between 1879 and 1893. The C&BR had Albert Quay. C&MDR opened their own terminus at Capwell in 1879. Previously they had also used Albert Quay, but they closed their link with C&BR after building their own station. GS&WR had Penrose Quay and C&YR had Summerhill. After purchasing the C&YR, the GS&WR built a new 'combined' Glanmire Road (now Kent) which opened in 1893, replacing the two previous stations. The fifth was the CB&PR's Albert Road station. It was still using 5'3 until 1900 when it completed its conversion to 3' gauge.
