  1. The one in the photo is British 

    The wagon ends and side stanchions on the  Irish wagons were removable and were simply transferred to the 62ft versions. 

    42 ft bogies flats were also considered. Again ends and sides were compatible with being transferred to the 62ft flats.

    Janice O Connell took the published photos Ciaran Cooney provided the original background information and sample photos of the suitable locations for her research.

  3. In 1958 the majority of the drawings held in Dundalk works of stations over the northern side of the border were passed on to the UTA who passed them on to the government of Northern Ireland archive who destroyed them as they were deemed to have no value.

    All the drawings of Omagh held by the IRRS were copied digitally and those copies were supplid to you a while ago.

  4. Digital copies as well print copies of certain locomotive carriage & wagon drawing's

    are available from various IRRS collections.

    A new list of what is available is due out soon.

  6. Hi the criss cross lattice parts are known as "Bars" the ones that decends from left to right are 6ft long 5 inches wide. The bars that decend from the right are same length it the bar it's self is same but is it's made from two 3inch L channels forming a T shape .

    This swaps over halfway across the bridge the bars cross each other at 3ft 6 inches and start 2ft 8 inches apart at the top and base.

    the lattice is 6ft from top to bottom.

    A full colour laminated A3 GNR drawing is available from the IRRS @ €10 Tuesday night's Heuston Station
