Would you have an address or contact details for Thomspons?

Were they concrete bases with a wooden frame? Were they plastered internally?

Hi Guys, I am interested in knowing more about the corrugated metal buildings used on different railways especially those on the Macmine to New Ross line and the Rosslare, Wexford to Waterford line. I am amazed how long these lasted despite the basic building materials. and would love to now was there a standard design for these. Is there any book published on the architecture? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Palace East: Wellington Bridge: Campile Station: Glenmore Station: Wexford South:

Interesting one from eBay: Any idea where and when?

I am, would love to find a Irish made Jouef CIE set

Not to worry Leslie, I am fortunate to have a UK Debit Card and used that to order. Brexit is such a mess.

No problem supporting the RPSI, big problem supporting my bank as the RPSI charges in sterling and customers have to pay the bank's handling fees for the privilege when purchasing from the south!

Yes apologies MK 2s

Was in Mark's Models on Saturday and they said October or after. But that these will be after a new run of Craven's and MK1s.

what is the ISBN?

Don't forget the Suir Valley Railway, which, while not wealthy, is at least solvent thanks to the volunteers, a dedicated management team supporting the charity and the users of the local Greenway (who drink a LOT of coffee!!).

Any identify what this new shiny coach was? Again from eBay:

Another one folks from eBay Any suggestions? The old CIE 20ft containers in the background (right) are interesting.

Were the lattice ones treated the same way?

Hi guys, I am looking for information as to how semaphore signal poles would originally have been painted. I believe the base and tops were usually black and the centre of the pole was white. Was this the same for all railway companies? I know the DSER used lattice structures instead of poles, would these have used the same paint scheme? In the 50s or 60s the silver paint was introduced I believe. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

here is a photo I found from Frank Geraghty's collection.
