Not sure why you want this (although I can guess). As you're on "The Island" buy it from the RPSI and benefit the preservation world!

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!

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know when the new Murphy Models 201s and Mark 3s are going to be coming out?

Regards Kian.

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?

In the last post you refer to various Narrow Gauge projects. They are all facing financial problems due to the impact of Covid 19 crisis. You also omit the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre who have launched an appeal for financial support and help due to the cash flow impact of being forced to close their Museum.

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.

This image is on eBay and I could not identify the location

Any ideas?

Picked this up Wexford Bookcentre this morning.

I believe the proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières

I have the full boxed set, and would like to donate it to the carer of the young lad so it can make his Christmas. The funds can be donated to a charity of the carer's choice.

Very noble!

This post, from a Facebook page that I got roped into, might be of interest - it should be visible to anyone.

Google doesn't find the picture anywhere else.

Would it have travelled as far their ferry terminal on the North Quays in Dublin?

Yes, pretty universal white with black tops and bottoms, though some had white tops too. 

Silver ones seem to have appeared in the late sixties.

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.

Does anyone have knowledge they can share about the livery on A12?  That is, CIE black with half yellow warning panel.  Is it appropriate for mid-late 60s or even later?   How many locos ran like this, or is it a one off?

cheers

John

My guess is that A39R won’t be too long on the shelf either 

Are they extra A23R all gone???

Just found this Video of the wagons being emptied as described by @DiveController
