    Great work on the van I think it unlikely that IRM would do this prototype van as there were so few of them even pictures are rare ,if they were doing palvans they would most likely do the 26001 type which were more common.

    Very interesting stuff one of the details I spotted in a picture of a grey H van in the 1970’s from Jonathan Allen is a painted handbrake wheel possibly yellow which is very unusual this might add an unusual detail to your repaints .

    You correct I have put the correct picture on my post There is a very good thread here from Murrayec about building a Worlsey works Kit
  4. flange lubricator
    It should look something like this albeit with better soldering skills than mine , the Worlsey works kits are a tad light on instructions!

    The last picture is an instantor coupling and some of the others are too head on to tell

    Great news Enda here is a nice picture from the O’Dea collection of some new “out of the box “ 30ton Vans at inchicore note the massive J hangers on them . https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtl

    The fitted vans had a plate or spacer fitted between the buffers and body to slightly extend them this was possibly done because they had instantor couplings fitted to reduce the distance between the wagons to avoid them banging against each other especially when running with passenger trains .

    The first ones to be withdrawn in 1968 were replaced by three ex GSR coaches becoming 2979,2980 and 2981 I suspect the interiors re used in the bogie vans the withdrawn ones were then used as vans for a while . Here's one as a van signs removed and letter box covered over .

    We are very lucky to have an abundance of riches at the moment I was lucky to pick up a few of the JM Designs covered vans and 20T Guards Vans and would buy another one or two brakes if they become available again . With the addition of the fitted and unfitted standard H Van I would imagine both the 20T & 30T CIE brake vans would see an upsurge in demand if made available again .

    Sorry to hear this John , look after yourself and none of us are invincible and sometimes things like this happen to help remind us .
  17. flange lubricator

    Its certainly the best picture showing the close up of 001s number I think the only A class to have highlighted front numbers.
  19. flange lubricator
    lovely weathering job
  20. flange lubricator
    Yes having the meetings online and access to the fabulous photo archive online are game changing for those living outside Dublin or further a field.

    The only A class I can remember was class leader 001 with highlighted front numbers And a number if the 141/181 class had them but disappeared in the late 1980's But strangely enough in the late 1990's 201 class 202 was involved in a collision with none other than loco 182 and it sustained front end damage and was repaired at Inchicore and was returned to traffic with highlighted front numbers at one end .
