    Slight point of order it isn't Railcar 20 its 19 the difference is in the toplights 19 had alternate opening toplights whereas 20 had them all opening. Andy

    The original cars seemed to use the same plum as the coaches (makes sense)i used LNW Plum for both which seems about right.Andy

    The bulkhead would be steel bear in mind the bodies were built by coachbuilders so the same as on a period bus or lorry. the main visual change is that the luggage rack was cut back on No8 and the exhausts were redirected up the cab front. Colourwise i have always thought that original red was the same as Precision CDR Geranium red but post war it seems to take on a lighter hue possibly more like signal red.As for lettering in 4mm i use LTSR crests and no ones noticed yet (same as on the Castlederg).Andy.

    well the info on the Fintown forays come from Donegal circulars so i think they can be regarded as accurate as for the Killybegs jaunt that came from ex staff member albeit we had been in the Castle bar in Donegal for a while Andy

    There are records of Phoenix operating as far as Fintown on the Glenties branch on various fair days if the demand outstripped the railcars capacityi have been told that she was occasional employed at Killybegs shunting coal trains when the coal boat arrived but havn't seen any evidence of that.Andy.

    Hate to say it but the early Swilly liveries are anything but simple being to all intents and purposes the LSWRs salmon and brown with the Burtonport being lake and cream sides with vermillion ends my train of them look like something from a circus Andy

    Looks like a Morris/Austin J type,Andy.

    Easy one this what you have is one of the tranship wagons the big casting is the fixed end with the smaller casting bottom right being the end wagon crossed over .only thing is it wouldnt have a wooden deck just two lines of rollers,The two wagons above are a couple of the oil tank chassis they acquired which were turned into container flats.

    Surely you mean red dome,Andy
  22. Andy Cundick
    Short answer no as there are eight of them in three different liveries,however the other two will be widened. Andy

    To be pedantic it was used to make sure the wagons were the right way round to affect the transhipment as the tranship wagons had one end fixed so could only used one way round.Andy

    The Donegal coaches,and the two C&L brakes are avaliable as far as i know,but of a sore subject the Donegal coaches building my th one when i finally sorted out what looked wrong about them,they're too narrow,Pete used the internal width rather than the external making them 6 inches narrower hence the body doesn't overhang the chassis.Andy
  25. Andy Cundick
    The Porters cap motor was supplied with the later batches as the early ones had a more basic gearbox it doesn't have the original wheels as they were originally 2mm though the centre axle is 2mm to accommodate the 2mm final drive.I remember having a chat with Pete about the 5's apparently he produced 125 kits in all,I wondere how many are built and running?,i've got four operational with two to build i've seen quoted that only about 10% of kits are actually built. Andy.
