Paul 34F

Hello David, I’ve just gone back to the beginning of this thread to refresh myself on the details. I cannot see any mention of the radius of the pointwork on Northport Quay? Could you let me know, please? Paul

Hello David, I’ve sent you a message with the drawings attached. Let me know, if you have any issues or questions. Paul

David, I will send it through tomorrow. Paul

David, I concur with Leslie. I do have a drawing for the whole coach, if you want a copy? Paul

David, There is a picture of the cab of the LLSR No. 12, the big 4-8-0, on the Irish Railway section of the transportsofdelights.smugmug.com website. It might be of interest. Paul

I’ve spotted something different in each of the two GNRI photos. The M1 van, (looks like 453), at Dungannon has had its lower beading renewed with flat strip instead of half round. To the right of the image of K3, No.12, there is a K15. This is one of the first built, as it has a Truss Rod underframe, instead of the LMS style angle iron framing, which all later builds had. Paul

Looks to be the Class M3, which had 3 sliding doors per side. I cannot recall the number. Paul

Interesting vehicles in the background of this photo, on the right. There is a DNGR Full Brake, a Clerestory, (which may be a composite vehicle), and 6 wheeler complete with Guards Ducket. Looking more closely it could be a W1 Full Brake. Looking to the left, the coach most visible in platform three, has large windows and a high roof line. Paul

The D14 has been updated. Belpaire firebox, new cab and rebuilt footplate. It then becomes a lovely curiosity due to the very old tender. Paul

Hello, Lovely image of Donegal Town, but May I point out, the train is arriving from Ballyshannon. The signal is still ‘Off’ in the background. There are eleven carriages in the train. A lot of work ahead to get over the Barnesmore Gap. Paul

David, I maybe wrong, but I’m sure the livery you’ve applied matches the CDR Lorry Fleet. It certainly looks the part. Paul

Hello Colin, I do have a GA for the large Sir Henry class 0-6-4t. I believe Richard McLachlan scanned a similar drawing for the IRRS collection. I haven’t done anything with this CAD related yet. As David Holman has commented the wheels are nearly touching. Kind regards Paul

Model makers take note, Take a close look at No. 91 at Inchicore. There are cloths draped over the steam supply pipe adjacent to the Safety Valves, perhaps a small leak, which had effected forward vision. Also, note the interesting angle of the front spring. How many of us have stressed about getting theses nicely squared up!!! Paul

Always nice to see a Class 114 DMU. Well done. Paul

Thank you for the details. This confirms the presence of the B5 Dining Car in the train. Paul
