Another gem from Trainiac on Flickr on that theme. From the same source, this one is almost as stubby as the Triang-Hornby 4-wheeler:

Here's the real GSWR No.1, photo on Flickr from Trainiac:

Tunnocks are absolutely the right thing, and tasty too. Here's my 1920s MGWR soft-top (kitbashed from one of Leslie's GNR kits) with a Tunnocks tarp:

Locos might be a 101 piloting a 321 class? Just a guess - happy to be corrected.

Anyone fancy a bottle of something? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/318258641165

Nice old postcard on eBay at present - a timeless viewpoint but this looks like a fairly early image. Impressive telegraph poles! Can it be dated by the electrified tram lines and the loco classes? There's a sailing ship at the quay in the background too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/168355382108

A phone photo of an MGWR 7 ton van diagram in IRRS archive. It's not actually the same one that's in the book although the main dimensions are the same - it seems there were several variants of bracing and vents. Note that this isn't a square-on image so please don't measure and scale off it! I hope to convince Richard McLachan to do his proper photography process on the wagon diagrams so they can be published and shared - there are lots of them.

Also 75 years of AEC railcars, briefly the Enterprise traction.

Still going up! At least the blue one is in new condition, as well as being a rarer livery.

Thanks for the info. It's sad to hear about Allen's health. About a year ago I ordered a G class kit and he delivered it to my door himself rather than post it (I'm only about 5 miles away from Worsley). He seemed fine at the time.

Definitely not one for the bargains thread; quite a hefty price for this light blue 111: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147293908471

On that subject, the RCTS photo archive is another good source of images, such as this: RCTS Library & Archive If you go to the search, then choose 'Irish Railways (CIE)' in the 'subject' heading and you can then also filter by colour images, date etc. RCTS Library & Archive

Lovely, and many thanks for the pointer. Another source for me to trawl and reproduce on my various diatribes! Note that AEC 2630 is in the early BnT livery, though fitted with a driver's door in the normal BnT livery which nicely illustrates the difference in the depth of the orange band. And when I make some more progress on my CIE green livery thread and you all start thinking I'm crazy when I talk about green roofs, those West Clare railcars are a fine example.
