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

Nine!!! Wealthy man

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.

When did these local services end?

Yes apologies, should have had my glasses on!

Hi guys, Were these voidmeters ever used on Irish railways?

Any idea what year this photo is? Early 50s? Also what type of passenger coaches are being pulled? Last seems to be a Tin Van. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/133868601666?hash=item1f2b30c142:g:Jn0AAOSwpmFhNLsc

Any chance IRM can produce a second genny in the later livery to allow a prototypical rake?

In the later videos there seems to be two generator vans on each rake. Was this the norm?

How many coaches would have been on the Dublin express when pulled by a NIR110 in the later livery?
