Sauna or Turkish bath more like. Well that's what we got every day in winter on the old AEC rail cars (pre DART). At least 90% of them leaked steam in enormous volumes. The experience of travelling into the city on a wet December or January morning when they were jam packed with passengers with already wet coats and dripping umbrellas, still doesn't bear thinking about.

Not wishing to distract from the central topic here, but 035 is sporting quite a dent in this photo, what's the story, anyone?

The numbers are, all 3rd 439 & 454, 1st/3rd 541, 3rd/Guard 98. (not easy to read and I'm nearsighted) As I recollect at the point of ordering I was satisfied that the running numbers of the four coach set did not duplicate the numbers of those sold singly.

Hi, having read many of your postings, I'm glad to see this acknowledgement of knowing yourself. However while I think the fraternity on this forum in all probability generally possess a better sense of humour than those on RM, suggesting that so called "box openers" are not modellers may nonetheless be viewed even here as offensive. I think your skills and the things you do are quite fantastic, but this hobby is a very broad church and to each his own. Just because someone opens a box that contains a model that none of us could hope to emulate does not necessarily demean them as a modeller.

It would be worth enquiring if the car park at Clontarf Rd. Dart Station will be open despite the fact there are no Dart services (over 100 parking spaces). Yes it is a little stretch of the legs up the Malahide Rd to Mt Temple but for anyone taking the Dart that would probably have been the best station to go to anyway. I don't advise attempting to park on adjacent roads , they are pretty congested already. As I recollect, there were about 60 or so parking spaces on the campus of Mt Temple, has this been curtailed due to the commencement of construction works which also seems to have contributed to closure of the Howth Road entrance?

Since there is no apparent interest in these coaches I will withdraw them on Sunday Sept 29.
