    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?
