GSWR 90

Edit – just realised you’re after drawings not photos. I think you’d need to start another thread on this

Here is the inside of the plough van at Downpatrick, 24852 built 1978. Definitely looks like those two benches were once beds

Eight-page (!) article on the flood recovery at Downpatrick in the current issue of Steam Railway

A bit of tamping to do, but otherwise finished

E428's white marker lights are on at 1:11 in this video, and same with E432 at 1:29 in this one, but I appreciate you'd probably rather have evidence of the lights on while they were in CIÉ ownership

Thanks for that photo. It gained commonwealth bogies and double doors in its saloon when it was converted to an ambulance coach, AM12, for the Knock pilgrimage train in 1959. https://www.downrail.co.uk/rollingstock/gswr1097/

I am very interested in the second coach behind the loco – it has a toilet, two first compartments, two second compartments, another toilet, and a third class saloon. I think that that arrangement is unique to GSWR 1097 which is preserved at Downpatrick

Or they could be made OO scale if you combine them with the 5’3” converter wagons

This GSWR postcard will look even more impressive with 90 and an 800! But seriously, discussing other locos doesn't detract from the fact that we're extremely lucky that everyone at IRM went to so much effort to make such an amazing model Any RTR model of an 800, let alone one of such incredible detail, would have been unimaginable just a relatively short time ago

17 types of broad gauge Irish steam locos preserved – one down, 16 to go...

The video and the prototypes both look amazing. These will definitely fly off the shelves

You need to be a member of the IRRS to see photos on their Flickr. A good reason for joining and funding their stellar work

And from the horse’s mouth, NIR’s response to a freedom of information request: “The Class 110 locomotives are no longer used as passenger trains by Translink or available for third party passenger charters. They are used for shunting within a Yard, hauling Flatbed Wagons and Ballast Hoppers around the NIR network and other non-passenger operations.” https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/questions_about_8111_class_locom

Mother nature has once again not been kind to Downpatrick – there are several trees down on the line, part of the roof has peeled off on carriage 3223, and a derelict brown van has had its roof totally torn off.

Anyone have name for 146 or A39?
