I think that c rail are already there with the pink container https://www.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=278 -
I'm a lifelong practicing atheist , who's christ ?

If someone put up this model as an example of their work I would be very sensitive in my comments or would choose not to comment at all , however the fact that someone is putting this model up for sale then I think we are free to comment and the if seller has a hard enough neck to sell something like this than I think they would be pretty impervious to any comments on here.
-
Wonder if one could submit a minus(-) bid so the seller pays you to take them away .

That’s very interesting Gleeson and O ‘Dea were a firm of ironmongers in Dublin , I think there was a connection to Jim O’Dea railway photographer

What happened to 224
flange lubricator replied to Railer's topic in What's happening on the network?
Did a similar fate not befall CIE (B201) 224 , following its transfer to NIR in 1985/86 was found to have a bent frame and was replaced by 218 , its was laying out of use for many years before being scrapped . -
Surely you mean ‘the plough and the stars ‘ van in that case

I think DiveController is on the money with regard to the fitting of CAWS in the mid 1980’s as this would coincide with this modification, I think the large and small windows have been followed by Paddy Murphy in his 121 models
-
No this was an earlier mod carried out to all the 121's except 125 . the rear cab windows being covered over came much later and was only carried out to a few locos .
-
Looks very good at this stage for a comparison here is a great shot of brian Flannigans from Flickr
-
I think all of the 121 class had the modified smaller window except 125 .

For the irish rail Mk2a,b,c 4101,4102,4108,4110 Hornby or Bachmann Mk2A SO's or Murphy models Mk2A's 4401 4402 4109 Lima Mk2 B Fk 4113 4114 Bachmann Mk2a Fk 4103 4104 4105 4106 4107 were Mk2c FO's nothing commercially available yet . 4601, 4602,4603 Dutch EGV , Dc kits or Irish freight models . Here's a link to one I converted earlier

Here’s a Lima Mk2f picked this up on eBay for less than €20 , a bit dated and a few mm shorter than other manufacturers but not the end of the world, add some Shaw plan flush glaze and add handrails and you have got a good Mk2f
-
Any Mk2f is a pretty good match although the CIE ones were classed as Mk2D they are nearer to the BR Mk2F , Lima did a Mk2F 1st and 2nd a little dated but with a little work they are not too bad . Bachmann have recently introduced a Mk2f excellent models but pricey , Hornby have recently introduced a MK2F 1st and 2nd they are really nice coaches and reasonable priced , I managed to pick one up for £31.50 Stg with a view to repainting it in Supertrain colours .

I was reading George Dent's ' Airbrushing for railway modellers ' he suggests washing the model with a soda crystal solution prior to painting .
-
I have finally got around to fitting the mousa sides to a Lima Mk1 , the drawback with the brass overlay is the lack of relief detail so I have added door hinges , door handles and very nice shawplan Mk1 window frames . I also fitted B5 bogies , extended buffers and gangways .
-
Also the larger centre window and the snatcher on the 121 is sitting at an angle to the body side which can be clearly seen in this picture on 129 , on the other locos A , 141 , 181 and B201s the snatcher would sit flush to the body side
-
Interesting for the collector is one way of putting it , I wonder will they be like some rare postage stamp with a flaw in them and worth thousands some day ? Here’s one of mine .
-
That is what would make the C/B201 a good proposition multiple liveries including NIR , three versions , Crossley engine version , Maybach and GM645 .
-
Along with the family silver the house and any shares , never mind bitcoin or gold just but irish diesel locomotives !
-
Certainly a must for ant Irish layout .
