  1. Going to make transfers for the advertising slogan one???
  2. When it comes to CIE green, which I’ve been trying to crack virtually the entire time I’ve been into railways on and off…. There will always be some unresolved issues! the man to talk to regarding 1944’s evidence is @Niles on here.
  3. I Have sent you a PM myself and @Nilesmade a while back. Shows not all (some have duplicated/not counted for) but show a good chunk of railtours.
  4. CACR consultancy was interesting. What the engineers said was the consultancy essentially is that there only allowed to think for themselves. Things like additional capacity for passenger/Freight, the funny Cobh platform ect, is that they cannot Risk a CPO going under scrutiny for being “not necessary” essentially, the logic is that an expense has to justify itself immediately. there is also some funny ideas about goods for instance (the awnser I got was that they can run in the middle of the night!)
  5. The rattle cans will be handy….
  6. drum railcar in CIE green looks like it was painted before withdrawal these coaches also Might be in the earlier livery, but well worn by 1965
  7. 1954, a train of, fairly worn at this stage, 1940s livery coaches Another livery quite far away from home, a GNR coach going down to youghal post GNRB Split
  8. Something similar to this happened during the 1953 IRRS/LRTL Irish narrow gauge railtour
  9. Steady now JB, could you be persuaded to say that more then just West Clare/ Cork stock got that plain unlined green!
  10. Skibbereen 1945 (I.C. Boyd) 1958 Courtmacsherry (Tom Davit - IRRS collection)
  11. GSR red coach (very worn) at ballinamore
