flange lubricator

It was a wonderful layout Dempsey well done a thank you for showing it .

They were copies of a GSR built van 2548 but with triangulated underframe with Commonwealth bogies . https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000304884

Lovely job nice to see a light weathering did you light them too

That is still there its the one that the RPSI used as there tool an for many years , it was set on fire at some point but the underframe and frame is intact it would be great if it was kept .

I’ll second that !

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 .

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.
