Beautiful! Is that inspection saloon a kit, scratchbuilt or off-the-shelf model? Can we see it close up?
-
Quite possibly more common on the first of them to be repainted from silver to green - which I think was about 1958/9.
-
I doubt you'd get that yoke on a car trailer, unless it had a 141 class engine in the car, right enough..... Could it be 10 1/4" gauge?
-
Thanks, TimO!

Hi TimO Thank you for your comment - it's published by Colourpoint / Blackstaff Press, Newtownards, Co Down. Rails Through Tipperary: Limerick to Waterford | Blackstaff Press I don't actually know what the ISBN is yet, as I haven't received my own copies yet! It was only released on Thursday!

True, though paintings can't always be taken as the best guide... Patterson's paintings in his CDR and C & L books are both incorrect - black boiler and dome on a Donegal loco in the former and brown carriages in the latter... Either way, of course, that big 4.8.0 would look amazing if it was tartan and lime green with yellow spots, and burning blue lumps of coal with pink smoke....!
-
My impression was that the darker green was on the tender engines from the start (or possibly black?) - but from your info, Andy, that makes the lighter shade possible indeed. It's possible they got dirty - the earliest pics I've seen of them certainly isn't a light colour, but maybe it's under the gunk!

Two bogie wagons there - am I right? I think I read that somewhere.... perfect for a "mini-layout"! -
Yes, indeed, it was extremely dark. It is quite likely that it was something similar to what the Harbour Commissioners had in Derry, and may today be seen (original paint) on the LPHC shunter No. 1 in Cultra. Even Fry's model has it wrong.... though livery errors on Fry's models are very few indeed and might - where they exist - be due to unavailability of the right shade when he was making a model......
-
I could well believe it. It's a monster! That is some serious feat of miniature* engineering genius (* well, not so "miniature"!). Is it privately owned or will it operate on some public line like Fairbourne?
-
An engineering beauty; albeit completely the wrong livery..... nothing remotely close to the colour it had in real life. (I just had to add that, didn't I!)
-
I don’t think they do car ferries, yet…….
-
Second coach there looks like 728 which is now operational at Downpatrick.
-
Superb!!
-
Thank you to all for your comments, which I passed on to Barry tonight. He also asked me to pass on his appreciation. Advance orders for this are brisk, to say the least. Yes, we did have an eye on modellers when selecting and discussing some of the views. Hopefully it will assist anyone modelling the (primarily) 1970-2000 period.

Never knew the Pullman bogies had survived that late - wonder where they are now? Presumably scrapped?
-
Aaaarrrrggghh me too. I was waiting for Santa Claus….
-
Agreed…. Personally, I never liked yellow mixed in with orange, white & black. Never liked the 201 livery which resulted….
-
I was holding it upside down to take the pic...........

YOU are getting it right, Skinner, indeed; a pity that many sellers or importers beyond our shores can't be bothered to read the guidelines!

There's a lot of modern-image stuff you'll like, murphaph.... containers and orange locos galore! For "A" class fans, a feast, as this was a stamping ground for that class at one time. The occasional "oddball" working too, such as an 6-car 80 class set at Clonmel on a Sunday working, and four "G"s stuffed in the loco shed at Thurles. Naturally there has to be at least a LITTLE steam in colour.....including 800!

Tis my plan indeed! I rang the Quack yesterday to find out when I can go… As of today, the publisher has got a delivery from their printer, and they’ve put it on their website and Amazon* today. (* personally I refuse to get anything from this parasitic company! Buy from publisher….!) Sure does! Borris-in-Somewhere!
-
Just got a text - this has arrived from the printers now. Now Barry and I can mull over what’s next…… if and when we’ve time, as if we’re not struck down by the covidpox…..
