    Good guess then! Have picked up a few nice photos of 27 at York Road in 1965 recently. Thanks whatever I do they seem to go on a tilt! Nice view of the rear of a Class 5 loco and this was the first to go in 1940. Looks well in black!

    According to Journall 11 DNGR Locos 2,3,4 and 6 were moved from Dundalk to Sutton on April 13 1952. As No 1 had went to Adelaide and No 5 was scrapped already then they are all accounted for.

    It does take a while to get through this new book. Find reading a chapter at a time helps. Which Donegal and Swilly kits do you have Colin?

    Correct serous talks held in 1941 in this issue. Two things stopoedcit such as the topography of the line as the GNR route was flat and level unlike the NG line Secondly by the time it was on the table it was 1942 and the tide in WW2 had started to slowly turn

    Photo of Barclay No 2 from 1932 leads me to agree with you Ernie
