Think so. It seems to have had some late career TLC

One of the Sentinels ended its days on the SLNC. A bogie was used as a luggage trailer for Railbus A!

Interesting stuff @Mol_PMBand @Horsetan thanks. Just realised that from photographs of 558 I may only need to bother with tank side numbers as by late 50s she had no buffer beam nos!

The J26 looks fabulous Alan. Look forward to seeing how Kieran finishes it off and what number it is. Inspired me to crack on with mine last night !

Yes I wouldn’t be at all surprised if two burly RIC men travelled along!

That’s looking fabulous

I’ve used LSWR\SR ones before

No I meant BR’s adoption of Pacers! The 1950s BR railbuses were a sensible solution to an Irish style problem. The 1980s ones weren’t -
Irish railways had basically abandoned railbuses by the 50s as outdated technology, preferring more advanced designs such as the Walker railcars. BRs adoption of the concept seemed a rather retrograde step.

As one who recalls both in service , the AECs were a good design allowed to fall into decrepitude. The Pacers were a bad design allowed to go into production!

N Scale Ballywillan, Co Longford.

That’s delightful. Excellent work - it’s not an easy style to model -
Twinned with Weissfelsen, clearly …

The 5 LEVs, of which RB1 was one, played a part in the genesis of the Pacers. One of the LEVs is apparently still in Ireland, part of the abortive UK gauge line near Dundalk

So sorry to hear this. Can’t begin to imagine how hard that must be for you.
-
That’s terrific - well done !
