It's not as if they couldn't ask L O'N what these items are. Pretty sure the "LSWR" coat of arms is generic British/Royal insignia. Most Irish auction houses are fairly clueless about railwayana.

Lots of paperwork, as usual in these things some lots poorly described or misidentified. Red and brass cabside plates are almost certainly B&NCR or NCC.

I note there's a photographic grey option now. I imagine it never ran in PG other than from paint shop to photo taking site and back to paint shop for repainting into green? It does look nice though not to everyone's taste.

Could have been a crated, partly disassembled "kit of parts" scenario like shipping out privately built locos for export. Not as exciting though.

A large scale touring coach model, said to be one of Fry's and once part of a CIE window display, surfaced for sale maybe a decade ago and disappeared again into the ether.

It rotted for decades in the open in Halfway Co Cork, now removed to another site, under cover I gather.

Maybe not so much a bargain. The first one looks like an enlarged modern print of a booklet or leaflet front page than a poster. Currently there are repros of posters being sold online which may be passed off knowingly or unknowingly as originals, buyer beware. The only way one can tell is by close inspection by someone who knows what to look for in terms of paper quality and telling old from modern print methods. Old Imperial poster sizes will differ from modern.
