I didn’t reply to his posting it sounded a little strange especially not posting up a list with prices as they say if it sounds too good to be true …………

Very saddened to learn of Paddy Murphy’s passing my condolences to his family and friends. Like so many I was interested in modelling Irish Railways in my formative years but there wasn’t the realistic stock available so I put my interest to one side and then Paddy came along with his collaboration with Bachman to produce firstly the Mk2a coaches and then the 141/181 locomotives and the rest is history. Modellers of Irish Railways certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Paddy Murphy .

Could life be imitating art ?

Don’t forget their a a nice few drawings on the resources section of this site including the Dutch Vans and laminates .

John I vaguely remember them I certainly remember the Articulated tanker with the distinctive GUY big J up front , a year or two ago I visited Model Rail Scotland and came across a small supplier of 1/76th road vehicles Including Leyland Ergomatic and Guy Big J Guy Big J 1966 Motor Panels cab - Road Transport Images

I'm enjoying the very informative posts here in the early days of the bulk cements they were sent to various parts of the system and could be unloaded anywhere providing the road tanker had an air blower which provided low pressure compressed air (below 40PSI ) in high volumes see picture below as the silos were built at various locations on the system cement only served those locations . You can see the blower behind the cab .

Still available

They were very subtle and they were in the coverslips / ribs between the panels.

I think the rivets might be a little overkill it was the coverslips that had screws and only on the to cover between the panels.

That would be great any drawings of the GNR bulk /hopper cement wagons built 1953 ?

I think they might be battery boxes you’re looking at .

The picture your referring to is one of a de frocked 4W TPO's running as an ordinary van for a period in the late 1970s they were never fitted with generators as far as I'm aware.

I was going to suggest a DCC one with sound ??

For the most part the four wheel vans all gone by 1980 so most people under sixty wouldn't remember them in traffic the Dutch Van and the ex BR Mk1 vans would be the ones most people would be familiar , would people be prepared to spend more money on a premium RTR version with lights etc ?

I think the colour your try to match is RAL 140 50 60 There is a good link to a reference on colour here

Not really just thought it might be of interest to someone here.
