    The dark green was 1945 - 1955 officially but could be seen in the late 1950s. the light green was introduced around 1955 and lasted officially until 1962 unofficially a good few years beyond

    I have 3 of the light green and the four dark green coaches pre-ordered….it would apear the Black and Tan one is SOLD OUT. I wonder how many of those ones were made compared to the other liveries

    Decorated samples out. Those dark green ones look tasty https://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/article?id=594&utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=modvehid5011-hattonsgenesisbatch2decosampleswave2&_kx=iCdbkTRB54bdvBXfhOMmOPw0dwQaz3qeKhoAguXYCnoxcrtQZf5qOka6e3Zv4R_b.JGQeXh

    Where does the headboard go on?

    I think that might be the case. I’m still waiting for an invoice for a J26 I would have loved to have gotten, but looks like I will never get! That was some 2 years ago. with many people reporting the same thing I would say that either there are no more kits or kit making\selling has ceased for the time being and may return in the future if this is truly the end of SSM then I say thanks for the kits over the years that were for the most part superb and helped me get a bandon tank!

    This one could be a cover of a book

    Your right. If regular engines could be converted to hydrogen with relitive ease on tractors, trucks or even cars. It would cut out the huge proportion of co2 burned in producing a new engine while making current engines last a little bit longer as well as be great for the environment

    Good to see packages actually getting to ya

    Re-engined 071s….how long are they going to be on the rails!

    I still have a feeling that farmers will much easier fall to a second hand tractor then these yokes. One of Our tractors cost 60k in 2005, 45 was offered for it after nearly 20 years labour. I should be going up, will check

    No guiness….only beamish!

    The red coach (if not the whole train) was used in lifting the west cork line a few years later

    On an old episode of top gear I remember how Indian dinners were a subscription service and were delivered by train

    What about these. 2 of these quite large lamps. Spotted at me local shop

    CIE light green and dark green….can be hard to make up. Would be nice if somone just made a standerd pot of “CIE green paint” like hattons or IRM. if you want tips on CIE green put “CIE green paint Irish railway modeller” into google and I’m sure various threads with various awnsers will come up. With passage green it’s a bit harder. A CBPR coach on original livery was found in 1969 and is recorded in colour on the IRRS archive. Problem is by that stage the liver and crest were WELL faded. In any case any sort of “dark green” will do as who is going to correct you!

    I think, certainly with the age of farmers here and certain loyalties those have with certain brands may lead this one to blow over some 50 percent of the tractors sold here are between 3 brands

    Funny enough it looks more grey rather then black in that picture. But If it’s 464 it’s probobly black alright from 1961 till withdrawal in 1963
  19. Westcorkrailway
    I can’t really tell from the photo….what number is this bandon tank.
  20. Westcorkrailway
    ???? not so much of interest for my era but im sure this is of great interest…
  21. Westcorkrailway
    all good until the guiness runs out and no one can find the bandon tank….and me!
  22. Westcorkrailway
    It’s not very long. I would say about 150 meters maybe? From memory
  23. Westcorkrailway
