  1. I’ve seen a similar image of PP no. 46 towing the blue tender. Also interesting to see the locomotive is fitted with a shorter chimney than normal. Useful dating material. Paul
  2. David, I believe I have solved the mystery! The carriage sides are for the I13 Tricomposite. They were built in 1929, numbers 269 and 270. However, they were built with Matchboard end panels. I will PM a copy of the Dundalk diagram to you. Kind regards Paul
  3. David, A quick glance suggests a 2nd / 3rd class composite. However, the corridor side doesn’t remind me of a H5 vehicle? I will have to look through my files to see if I can tell you what Worsley has sold you! Kind regards Paul
  4. 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
  5. Hello David, I’ve sent you a message with the drawings attached. Let me know, if you have any issues or questions. Paul
  6. David, I will send it through tomorrow. Paul
  7. David, I concur with Leslie. I do have a drawing for the whole coach, if you want a copy? Paul
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Looks to be the Class M3, which had 3 sliding doors per side. I cannot recall the number. Paul
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. David, I maybe wrong, but I’m sure the livery you’ve applied matches the CDR Lorry Fleet. It certainly looks the part. Paul
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Always nice to see a Class 114 DMU. Well done. Paul
  18. Thank you for the details. This confirms the presence of the B5 Dining Car in the train. Paul
  19. Looking at the third picture in the latest post, my eyes fell on the second carriage. It appears to be a GNRI vehicle. Does anyone have details of the carriages in the train? It makes me think it is the B5 Dining Car, but I need to check. Paul
  20. This is the first time I’ve seen a photo of a Goods train at Narrowater Castle. Passenger trains must have been more popular with Photographers? Paul
  21. The rear bench seat of Railcar 20 has been upholstered with a different pattern moquette. Paul
  22. As Galteemore has just mentioned, The GNRI J Class 4-4-0 locomotive drawings are available. I also have drawings for the GNRI outside framed 1700 gallon tender. Paul
  23. David, May I suggest a quicker solution. Take a piece of Springy wire and use it instead of a thick brass pivot arm. The wire could be looped around the screw holding the Keeper Plate in position and the other end pushed through a small hole in the Stretcher of the Bogie. It should help steer the locomotive better through the curves. Paul
  24. David, Don’t bother other than on locomotives. The safety chains were even a pain in the rear in 15mm scale, (when I used to dabble in that scale). Love the look of the open wagon by the way. Paul
  25. Airfixfan, Does the CDR diagram book contain details of locomotives, carriages and wagons? Has the Museum ever considered having it copied digitally? Paul
