    I have seen something similar before and was told it was attached to a horse drawn vehicle belonging to one of the landed gentry. A sort of forerunner of a vehicle registration plate.

    Like an ebay listing I saw once "faithful reproduction of an authentic item".

    It's almost a novelty for an 'antique' auction to offer something that IS antique.

    The three Cork ng lines, had to be different, and adopted a central link and pin coupler rather than the 'chopper' aka Norwegian coupler.

    Had a similar issue (slipping axle gear) replaced FOC. Might be a bit light-duty for such a weighty loco?

    If you're talking about CIÉ's system, then green and cream or red and cream.

    The Getty images photo is captioned incorrectly and picked up by whoever edited the piece. Not the author as I'm sure he'd spot that straight away! https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/great-southern-western-railway-4-6-0-steam-locomotive-no-news-photo/90779726

    W&TR 2-2-2WT Fairbairn ftw.

    Paging JHB....

    Grey was the standard colour by and large. A grey loco, weathered, cleaned and polished with oily rags for a special will appear black.

    Something unspecified, belonging to a dog is welcome.

    Brexit is no excuse for our own crowd to rob us blind!

    Got a railcar set from them, bypassed customs, got them brought in as hand luggage. Have had enough of An Post fudging and being shaken down by Revenue.

    "Troublesome" people being shuffled into made-up jobs is not unknown in that organisation.

    Just looks like a bitta fun to me, not everything has to be a po-faced unboxing. Good on them.

    A flat roof in a country famously known for its rain. That's archithicks for you.

    I already see the whinging about the costs already on the Book of Faces comments section. No-one seems give out about how much it costs to build a road (or Greenway!) in this country.

    Was thinking Departmental Grey as another option, for breakdown trains and travelling crew dormitories.

    Hmm buy coaches or eat less? Tough choice.

    The great and the good in Youghal didn't care much for a railway. Perhaps they're more interested in cycling and walking doggies, who knows? Don't ask, don't get.

    Matured with rust from spending a month outdoors.

    You'd probably get sued by the types on this side of the water for bullying or PTSD!

    A "sigh" alright. A fake. Another person had. A proper one should look like this.

    They will have as standard an 00 scale awkward passenger in your booked seat who pretends not to understand the notion of seat reservations and will refuse to vacate. Sets have optional figures involved in unchallenged anti social behaviour

    I've noticed the infamous Clonakilty Model Village has turned out reasonably accurate models of Cork and Muskerry and Passage locos...but one NG Passage loco turned out in GREEN. Oh dear. I hope to God they won't run these on the layout, causing even further confusion. But as usual here, some Nuala working in PR thinks they'd look "lovely" all running together.
