I’m sure one day soon, that will happen. But a Reminder that IRM’s Beet wagons are prototypical rolling stock for a CIE 800!

what the proposed Black and Tan Livery might have looked like

Only seeing this now…never seen this before!

Don’t think I’ve seen anything as good as this, Even in the professional documentaries. Well researched and it paid off! Well done

Killarney today

Some foreign locomotives with very strong Irish Connections Im hoping to uncover more examples of these types of locos This locomotive is a sister to the 2 peckets on the Schull and Skibbereen. And is named Gabriel, same as S&S loco which is named after the mountain in Schull, and is located in New Zealand, still around today A MGWR 2-2-2 locomotive was built, but the midland never paid for it. It ended up in Brazil, and also still survives

I doubt the viability of another A class model purely based on the 2nd hand prices and the way the Irish market has gone since post covid time. I agree with mol, being in this forum your in the best place to actually get Models for not mad money, I’ve managed to get stuff for below RRP quite frequently on here over the years

Not even during ITG tours?

Going to make transfers for the advertising slogan one???

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.

CIE container?

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.

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!)

The rattle cans will be handy….

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

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

Something similar to this happened during the 1953 IRRS/LRTL Irish narrow gauge railtour

Steady now JB, could you be persuaded to say that more then just West Clare/ Cork stock got that plain unlined green!

Skibbereen 1945 (I.C. Boyd) 1958 Courtmacsherry (Tom Davit - IRRS collection)

GSR red coach (very worn) at ballinamore

https://ifiarchiveplayer.ie/monsignor-reid-collection-castlerea-train-station/ GSR coaches in 1947 on IFI player there is also some colour photos of GSR coaches late into CIE era on the C&L system

Found it

Interestingly, the drawing seems to show the wrong type of splashers (like those on 100)

I had a colour picture years ago, appear to have lost it. Will try and find it now…
