  1. Long before the days of the packaged hang sandwich and maxipak tae.
  2. Yes they retained the 1st on the doors as did the Mk2s /Mk3s , also of interest no TL on 1504 the cravens as with all other coaches were fitted with battery boxes and dynamos until the early 1970’s and the arrival of the BR vans .
  3. If you look at the reference to RAL 6037 I think this is the lighter green "A46 for a few years in between its silver and black eras). Both colour reference numbers match in slightly different light. They're as good as a match. RAL 6037 appears to be the same too." https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paintcolourchart.com%2Fral-colors%2Fclassic%2F6037.html&psig=AOvVaw2miKncRmu-68fur1pa-Mis&ust=1599825634442000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJiI-4bF3usCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAO
  4. Have a look at this post should answer your question
  5. I don't remember any going via Kildare unless the line was closed for possession or some reason like that but normally via Clonmel , there was also a 1030/1040 ex Limerick Saturdays only to Waterford with Bell containers o it it .
  6. Via Limerick Junction would be the only way
  7. Received some bits last week , fingers crossed only a temporary break .
  8. I would second that the original of the weedspray van was converted from a luggage/ parcel van an overlay could do both .
  9. https://m.ebay.ie/itm/Rare-Murphy-models-Craven-1st-Class-No-1149-/373164180964#vi__app-cvip-panel crazy stuff €158.00 for a craven !!!
  10. Timber ran from Ennis to Waterford on a near daily basis in the mid 1990’s in addition to timber from Millstreet on the Kerry road .
  11. Derek’s buses are expensive but you get what you pay for they are sublime .
  12. Glad to hear your getting back to full health , we are all looking forward to seeing Murphy models grey and Black and Tan 121 class locos visiting Glen More in the coming months .
  13. The coal wagons used on the weekly Foynes -Ballina coal /oil train were older 20’ Tso containers with the roofs cut off re purposed to carry coal painted with grey primer on the inside and black on the outside .
  14. If a rake of those turn up at at Tara junction you will need to put sun glasses on
  15. In the late 1990’s the grain was transported in modified 20’ containers from Foynes , Waterford and North Wall to the Conniberry siding in Portlaoise in block trains.
  16. Not to sure what you mean by ‘back to backs’ but they would have carried everything in 20 ‘ TSO , containers , bell , coal , oil , bitumen, asahi, kegs , grain , 10’ uniload , half height wagons , also latterly timber frames .
  17. And the version painted silver with anti spark brake blocks with acrylonitrile tanks on the asahi liner !!
  18. They would also run as part of Liner trains with bogie 42’ wagons with the two axle wagons marshaled to the rear of the bogie wagons . I seem to remember one of the evening Dublin to Cork Liners possibly the 2040 ex north wall was made up of only two axle wagons all 14’ wheelbase ones up to the mid 1990’s . Should IRM produce one of these this will be a huge gap in the Irish railway modeling scene of the 1970’s 1980’s 1990’ s and early 2000’s covered .
  19. YES , some were repainted in grey .(IRRS journal no 36 Vol 7 Feb 1965 noted B135 being repainted in Grey ) the red buffer may have been an addition to B123 and B127 cant confirm this .
  20. I the early years of the bulk cement they ran with brake van in the train. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306218 So you may need to order one of these
