This is a copy of a CIE Carriage Register, listing all carriages in service with their technical details. Having got hold of a copy of the 1969 carriage register (also uploaded to the 'Resources' section of the forum), from which the pages of older carriages had been removed in its previous life, @seagoebox contacted me to say that he might be able to supply the missing pages. However, it turned out that his copy of the CIE carriage register was an older one, dated 1st February 1961. He was kind enough to photograph all the pages of this, and send them to me. So now we have two editions of this very useful document. Like the 1969 edition, this carriage register also has hand-written additions, with new carriages built up to 1964 added to the lists. However, most of the annotations relate to the fate of the carriages listed (e.g. where they were/are preserved, or when they were scrapped). My next stage is to put all the information into a spreadsheet format so that it is more easily searched and is consistent in format where possible. I am also making a list focusing on the renumberings and conversions which occurred in this period - a surprisingly complex story in some cases. I will share the result on the forum too. However, that will involve some element of interpretation and I thought it would be helpful to upload my source document as well. CIE_Carriage_Register_1961+.pdf

This is a copy of a CIE Carriage Register, listing all carriages in service with their technical details. The document is dated 1st July 1969, and I expect that the typewritten pages represent that date. However, it appears to have been maintained as a 'live document' through the mid-1970s, most likely by a member of CIE staff. There are many hand-written annotations, withdrawn carriages being crossed out while some conversions are referenced. New carriages have been added to some existing pages, and whole new pages have been added (in a variety of formats) to record new and converted vehicles, including the AC stock and the varieties of bogie steam heat vans. Pages listed on the contents but missing from this copy are as follows: 4, 18, 20, 29, 30, 31, 34, 43, 44. These mostly relate to older vehicles ('secondary' stock, horseboxes etc.) which were all withdrawn during mid-1970s when this document was being updated manually. I expect the pages that were no longer relevant were discarded by the same person who added the new pages. @flange lubricator was kind enough to photocopy his document and I have simply scanned those copies and merged them into a pdf document. My next stage is to put all the information into a spreadsheet format so that it is more easily searched and is consistent in format where possible. I am also making a list focusing on the renumberings and conversions which occurred in this period - a suprisingly complex story in some cases. I will share the result on the forum too. However, that will involve some element of interpretation and I thought it would be helpful to upload my source document as well. CIE_Carriage_Register_1969+.pdf

Hi Folks, Various drawings and diagrams of steam diesel and electric locomotive, railcars, coaches and wagons. Quite a mixture but all good: Irish outline drawings.zip Gibbo.

The Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway Leitrim Class was a class of five 0-6-4T locomotives built by Beyer, Peacock and Company between 1882 and 1889 for the SLNCR. The drawing was created from photographs, leading dimensions, and the general arrangement drawing from Manchester Science Museum's archive. SLNC1.pdf
