There was a mention in the Ballybeg Thread some months ago about the Rank Wagons. A picture showing what I believe to be an Alphagraphix kit of this wagon is in Red. Is this colour correct bearing JB’s many warning on the limited colouring on Irish good vehicles?

Absolutely fabulous build David, very well done. Hoping the skills you picked up in this build will transfer to your forthcoming 461 build and in that case it will be worth the long wait.
If you want to see one in action have a look at Item #917

The Sulzer is in the video CIE Laminates at 1.37sec in.
What a fantastic idea Des but don't forget the most difficult item to model -the roof of course. [i write while working on a Worsley Works kit with a Comet roof cut down the center trying to splice a piece of plasticard down the middle and using isopon to hold it all in place]
A tedious job doing track work which is probably why I never got round to finishing mine. Must put it on the list. The layout continues to improve, keep posting Raymond.
Thanks Richie but is the Laminates roof vent locations I'm after.
Thanks Noel for the extra photos. The 2 sets of double roof vents in an open compartment are unusual, I wonder why?
Thanks Noel, could you include a roof shot to see the location of the roof vents, when I built mine I was working from pictures and had to guess the location of some of them. Hopefully Tom had access to roof drawings and his are accurate.
