  1. Thank you very much for the photos Glenderg, because especially photos of the IE Mk2 a/b/c are very rare, I'm still searching for one of the restaurant coaches (4401, 4402) form both sides.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]13255[/ATTACH] The first coach is a Lima Mk2b FK, which can be convertet to a IE or to an NIR coach, the second is an resprayed Lima Mk2b SO, six of them were owned by the NIR and one is now in ownership of the RPSI, the next one is a IE Mk2d composite. It was convertet from an Airfix Mk2d FO an an Hornby Mk2d BSO, the problem is to get the right length so it fits right back on the chassis- you will mention the crack. The toilet vents are also on the wrong site just as the INTERCITY -Logo ( I also saw photos where the logo is on the door, are the two types?). The last is the same as your coach and will be resprayed into a IE Mk2a, when I have the correct dutch generator van.

    Does anybody know where I can get etched windows for the Mk2 a/b/c coaches? I need them for modelling NIR 547.

  2. Your Class 80 is absolutely great and very inspiring. What kind of primer do you use? A primer only or a primer/filler. I aks because my primer does drops and has to sanded, yours look absolutely flawless.

  3. I also bought this book, but for me it was a huge disappointment. There were two pictures of the Laminates and one of the Park Royal Coaches. There are only five pages about the entire mk2 mk3 de Dietrich and NIR mk2 coaches with five pictures. There is also no drawing in this Book. "Locomotives& Rolling Stock of Irish Rail and Northern Ireland Railways" Third Edition is considerably better, every Coach has a picture and the whole Book has more structure.

    But this is only my opinion.
