  1. Conscious of not wanting to go too far of topic below is a picture from left of J M Designs pre 1953 covered van , Provincial Wagons post 1953 covered van and last Provincial Wagons post 1953 covered van but ‘fitted’ brake blocks on all wheels and round hand brake wheel as they would look running with Vacuum brakes . I certainly will be ordering a LMA van or Two for variety whn they are available.
  2. I am also discovering some wonderful gems in that IRRS flickr site there is fabulous one of a H van 18828 in green with Vacuum brakes with sliding doors by Gerard McGowan , which like you I had read about but never seen picture of one . Many thanks to Ciaran Cooney of the IRRS for painstakingly taking the time to scan these pictures , while some of them are just ordinary rolling stock photos and would not appeal to many they provide a wealth of information for the modeller .
  3. My five sets of 2 x iPhone speakers duly arrived and fitted one to MM182 along with a GM 645 sound chip sounded a little loud when compared to my MM126 so I turned it down a little .
  4. They were moved to Clonmel and then a few at a time to Limerick works to be coverted to Ballast wagons in the late 1990's
  5. I think the Dolimite wagons 26612 -26627 were the same chassis too very similar wagon to the ballast /gypsum.
  6. Great news they will look great with supertrain and Black and Tan locos I will be participating. They will look even better in a mixed set with CIE oil wagons which is the way they operated , hint hint nudge nudge …………….
  7. Not my era but a very reasonable price
  8. I think if you read it you will find that its 'From £2.04ea ' but when you look up the same speaker the price is pretty much the same carraige via ebay is higher and that dosent include the charge from the postman ,I will stick with dealing direct .
  9. Ordered some on Monday from them Qty 4 plus 1 free for £35.95 incl postage which worked out at €43.99 Road and Rails took off the Vat, I had to Pay An Post a futher €13.23 in Vat and handling making a total of €57.22 so each speaker worked out at €11.45 landed at my door which is not too bad .
  10. looks like its from the appendix to the working timetable 1935
  11. A great example of thrift by the railway and re cycling repurposing of rolling stock 1950s bodies on 1960s underframes which lasted until the end of the beet in 2005 .
  12. Certainly the baby boomer speaker is more in the price range , the double iPhone when landed will be somewhere near €50 !!. When you add to this the chip it makes fitting sound to the B GM loco a little expensive. Wonder has any one done a comparison sound of both speakers ?
  13. Always with brake vans the latter double beet wagons post 1985 were mounted on Lancashire flats which were vacuum brake and did not require a brake van but the earlier single bullied corrugated wagon were loose coupled and always required a brake van .
  14. Don’t think the corrugated wagons or bullied opens ran without brake vans
  15. Great picture on the IRRS twitter feed of one of the smaller Lyons Tea container Irish Railway Archives (Ciarán Cooney) (@irishrailways) / Twitter
  16. Or this very similar adjustable heat control Draper 61478 Soldering Station (40w) | MicksGarage
  17. Yes its the side of the mock up of the MK3 pp
  18. Picture from Nigel Curtis of BR 19512 (FK downgraded SK) which became Irish Rail 4109
  19. I have a spare CIE 20 ton in Grey with Roundell from J M Designs .
  20. It's Thurles Feb 1960 the picture is from the O'Dea collection Holdings: New 616 vans, Thurles, Co. Tipperary. (nli.ie)
  21. Yes there is a wealth of pictures on the IRRS flickr without doubt a fablous resource there also some in the O'Dea Collection . https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307735 Including a grain wagon in this one https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307730
