That is a mammoth task you have taken on and a brilliant reference for everyone to use . well done Paul

Another rough calculation , I was recently over on the Keightly and Worth Valley Railway and was chatting to one of the volunteers and asked them about many people volunteer on the railway and the rough figure was about a pool of 600 !! If any of the organisations above could muster more than a regular handful I would be very surprised.

Great job .

Sounds great but in practice not workable, between Drogheda and Navan there is one set of gates at Beauparc , but between Navan and Kingscourt there was fourteen or fifteen sets of gates which in the days of the Gypsum were operated by the train crew so add to that the slow line speed and lots of starting and stopping would be anything but a pleasurable experience for the passengers and would take most of the day to do a return trip .

The only surviving 16xx is 1633 at Dunsandle https://www.flickr.com/photos/be216cd1/28063968640

Yes they were hauled by 121/141/181 locos. As per the picturebelow from Jonathan Allen’s collection on Flickr.

No not at all you would have to return them to China and good luck with that.

I think its the factory going solo.

Another one of the Brake standard

I can’t see a reason why not the complete document is about 45 pages so quite a task to scan and reproduce.

its dated 1st of July 1969 but bits added like MK2s etc so accurate to mid 1970's.

Here is an page from a carriage stock register 1906 is the only one listed as fitted to run with Diesel (Railcars)

Of the five of these coaches two 1904 , 1905 & 1908 had Great Southern type bogies and two 1906 & 1907 had Commonwealth bogies , only one 1906 was fitted to work in railcar sets .

The sound of the double sounds fantastic just like the real ones .
