DSER Horseboxes The DSER contributed 21 horseboxes to the GSR in 1924, but only 5 were still in traffic in the early 1950s and they had all gone by 1961. Those five were: 14D, built by Ashbury in 1879 and later transferred to the W&T section where it lasted until 1955. 1D, 7D, 8D, 9D, built by the DSER in 1909-1913 and withdrawn in 1958-1961. Fortunately, both types are well illustrated in the book ‘Irish Broad Gauge Carriages’ (Coakham); there are images of 8D and 14D on p28. The two types were different in style and appearance. Otherwise the few DSER-built vehicles seem to have been camera-shy. However, 14D on the W&T makes cameo appearances in a few photos such as these from Ernie: WLWR Horseboxes (later GSWR Diagram 102) The WLWR built 8 horseboxes in 1897-1898, which were soon inherited by the GSWR and became their diagram 102. Five of these survived into CIE days, as follows: 1025, withdrawn 1964 1026, withdrawn 1961 1037, withdrawn 1959 1038, withdrawn 1960 1040, withdrawn 1961 This photo from Ernie shows an excellent (though cropped) view of 1025 in the 1950s. This evaded the major cull and was not withdrawn until 1964: We saw this 1953 photo before in the MGWR post, but the other horsebox partly hidden by the loco is a former WLWR vehicle: Finally, this IRRS photo from the 1940s has a horsebox hiding behind the water column. I think it is another of the WLWR boxes: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/53508874946/ -
As this layout is based on Whitehead and its environs but is not a truly accurate replica - hence “Whiterock” - I am not unduly troubled by the use of rolling stock and units with historically inaccurate numbering. Cheers Darius -

Did Peckett have multiple works greens? Again this is an assumption that the Peckett was never repainted by allmans, which Infairness is likely. considering the Peckett worked in GSR and CIE service, I think it easily would be a fine addition to the likes of the Jinty and the K class done throughout the years, even if the livery would stand out on a GSR/CIE layout -

A similar design to that of the MGWR, imagine it was for the horse 'n' hounds set. Horse boxes here were quite possibly the very last vehicles to use oil lighting, long obsolete in passenger stock, for internal lighting.
