  1. As far as I’m aware plywood some of the early ones were steel mesh think wood may have been preferred for corrosion. See 4.20 in this film
  2. Other than the dicky Tara’s " There are no scraps in my scrapbook."
  3. Luckily I got some but certainly went very fast , like vultures down on a meat wagon !!
  4. Yes they certainly did but they would have had a second man in the cab for the trip to Barrack Street.
  5. Not strange at all steam locos had two crew members a driver and fireman, diesels had only one crew member a driver the 121 class could operate bonnet first but required a second man to be present, on a steam loco when the fireman was not firing, he would have been assisting the driver in sighting signals etc the same as the second man on a bonnet first 121 class would do.
  6. The retention of turntables at a lot of places decades after the end of steam was down to the 121 class .
  7. Yes 40'-45' seem to be the most common, with regard to the 121 class early in their careers one of them was operating bonnet first and was in collision with a PWD Trolley and this made the railway to change the rules regarding the 121-class operating bonnet first which was no longer permitted however on occasion this was done but there had to be a second man present.
  8. Surely it should be Tom, Dicky and Harry...............
  9. Thats sounds like a sensible plan hopefully people won’t be greedy and limit themselves to one or two packs so everyone will get an opportunity to get some .
  10. Any update on this for Black Friday should I be breaking out my sleeping bag flask and woolly hat for an overnight queue?
  11. Not that I am aware of the first ones to be withdrawn were of this type a number of the ones at Mallow BFS were the older 30001-30099.
  12. I would also be interested in this Phillip.
  13. No , your certainly not dim , there were two batches of 42’ containers flats , the first batch were built 1971 30001-30099 distinguished by using ride control bogies and second batch 30100 onwards built 1974 using sambre et meuse bogies virtually the same wagons.
  14. Received my Liners and Guinness this morning and they are fabulous wagons, I do notice that some of the wagons are numbered below 30100 which were the 1971 original 42 flats , I thought the ones that IRM were doing were the 30101 upwards numbers?
  15. In the Description on your site Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4103 Black Roof Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4104 Black Roof Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4105 Black Roof Mk.2b Buffet (ex-FK) 4402 Orange Roof
  16. I think they are Bachmann bogies
  17. That’s is a very good idea and perhaps a way of rewarding IRM loyal customers and at the same time discourage the skelpers.
  18. Don't know about 4401 but 4402 never had a black roof
  19. Thats a difficult one to answer 174 made it into full IR livery prior to its withdrawal in sometime circa 1993 there are other examples of 141's in STIR livery up to 1991 /1992 if not beyond. A Jonthan Allen picture of a weathered 174 in 1992 One question I forgot to ask yesterday when visiting Paddy Murphy's stand was the ETA on the 141/181 class additions.
  20. Not impressed those scones always had florescent candles as opposed to incandescent completely different hue .
  21. Well, if you're hungry enough I'm sure the scones would pass the 2ft rule.
  22. You must have been famished and I hope it was extra strong Lyons tea after all those announcements.
