    There we have it, then, mid-60s!
  2. jhb171achill
    I think the middle pic might be post-1963. Do we know the date of it, I wonder?
  3. jhb171achill
    Installed on opening it soon after, I would think, removal presumably when passenger services ended in 1963 - or thereabouts.

    Wow! Mr Holman, I think that you are Mr Chown reincarnated. Ye can't keep a good thing down!

    Where will it operate? I still hold out hope for an ICR in classic black’n’tan and a Mk 3 set in GSR maroon; Belmond missed a trick there!
  6. jhb171achill
    ICR in RPSI livery.....! I actually like it!

    Won't be long now!

    The legless driver in the 121.
  9. jhb171achill
    Who's the 0.5?
  10. jhb171achill
    As normal with Mr. Holman's products, an absolutely superb job! Love the detailed panelling. That dark colour isn't easy to replicate either, but you've nailed it!
  11. jhb171achill
    Is there scandal here that we ought to be appraised of?
  12. jhb171achill
    My understanding, speaking to several people "in the know" has been that the 121 will be the last. I would wonder - and I emphasise this is a 100% GUESS of mine, NOT from "people in the know" - if IRM would effectively take over where MM left off.

    That's a very neat little No. 90!!!
  14. jhb171achill
    That's actually the rail connection for the Fish Guard ferry.

    Indeed; and it IS a mess visually! Not my "Jackeen Bias", but I think that in theory at least, Dublin buses would look better with only the two-tone blue, not the yellow. Yellow and light blue are a hideous clash!

    Yes, it was not only the public who didn't like it - many staff, including (obviously) the senior man at Conyngham Road, didn't like it either. Personally, I believe I am the solitary person on the planet who actually liked it........... by the time it was introduced, many of the older navy and cream buses weren't weathering well - that dark blue looked very dark, muted and dull after a while in traffic, and the all over cream colour above waistline was too light to stay clean for any length of time - result, tatty looking buses especially on the older half-cabs.

    What? Driving while legless? I'll the Elfin Safety boyos!
  18. jhb171achill
    The actual name would obviously be an ecumenical matter.
  19. jhb171achill
    Ten Hail Murphys for you, my boy!

    Ballycharwelton? Knockcharwelton? Dún Char Weltán? Slieve Welton?
  21. jhb171achill
    Superb looking layout (even if it is "narra gauge"!)
  22. jhb171achill
    I meant................What function did they have within this train? Did they put machinery of some sort in it or use it to carry chopped up poles, anyone know?
  23. jhb171achill
    How were these used?
  24. jhb171achill
    Correct, Vlak - and the brake van was a departmental one never used in normal traffic. I think I saw it in Limerick.
  25. jhb171achill
    Could well be, yes!
