Leslie, thank you for drawing attention to these wonderful books. Regarding requests to purchase through the post (especially for me in the U.S.), would you prefer someone just buy through AbeBooks.com, or might IRRS get more funds if I purchase directly from you? Martin Tuohy

See the journal New Irish Lines: https://newirishlines.org/ Pre-1992 drawing index (so, not articles per se): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4qitwp09l2gb7pmqqcs83/Irish-Lines-Drawings-Index-J.P.James-1992.pdf?rlkey=633kdsu1aik0s9i6zrk5z816a&e=1 7mm Narrow Gauge Society and 009 Society both offer indexes to articles. None of those are comprehensive, but New Irish Lines is a solid start. I highly recommend subscribing.

Oh, neat. Is it built from an IP Engineering kit, if you might know?

David, I have Magnesite wagon sets C and D, six wagons total. If those might interest you, and you cannot find a closer or better source, I'd be happy to discuss possible shipment to you from Chicago. Just send me a message. Martin Tuohy

Thank you. The Bredin coaches are sharp, but would be beyond my ability at this time. It looks like Des is only offering the postal van now: https://www.studio-scale-models.com/Coaches.shtml. The GSR Pullman coaches are a personal interest.

Which kit might you wish to buy?

The RTR County Donegal vans in 00n3 can be ordered directly by contacting Mr. and Mrs. Bruce by email or telephone. See the email address and other ways to contact them at https://www.ooworks.co.uk/order-contact-us. They do not have the models listed on the web site, but the offer of the models is published in the most recent New Irish Lines journal.

I just sent him an email (from here in Chicago) to ask him about Irish broad gauge in-stock kits in 4mm and 7mm scales. I've wanted to buy four of his Great Southern Railway of Ireland Pullman carriages, but blew out my discretionary spending last summer on his last in-stock Irish narrow gauge kits for the Cavan & Leitrim Railway, including ex-Tralee & Dingle carriages and 2-6-2T locomotive 5T.

I'm interested and willing to commit to these MGWR coaches in 4mm: MGWR Atock 6-wheel Brake/Third coach MGWR Atock 6-wheel Third class coach MGWR Atock 6-wheel Lavatory Composite coach MGWR Cusack 6-wheel First class coach MGWR 4-wheel Parcels Van "The Hearse" Should those of us who are interested -- perhaps under the leadership of @GSR 800 -- compile a spreadsheet of individuals who are committing and their requests?

Are you seeking one or more of the Bachmann green RPSI coaches, or one or more of the Irish Railway Models blue and grey coaches?

Rank amateur learner questions: What model paint brands and colors would match GSR maroon and early CIE green? And do any commercially made bogies in 4mm scale match the sideframe design of the GSR Pullman?

See pages 5-12 of the attached magazine from The Pullman Society of the United Kingdom. Etched brass "scratch-aid kits" of the Irish Pullmans might still be available from Worsley Works. (I'm about to follow up on my query of September regarding four I want to order before the proprietor ceases trading.) Pullman_coaches_GSR.pdf

John, thank you for sharing. Beautiful creations. You are a natural teacher with your descriptions of the what, and the why, and what you would re-do differently. -- Martin

What is the seller name or URL for the RPSI ebay shop? I cannot find a link via the RPSI web site shop.

Yes, I would be interested in a MGWR Class A locomotive and tender. I would want to see the design and print quality first, of course. But I'm interested.
