    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

    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

    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

    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
  18. Paul 34F
    Thank you for the details. This confirms the presence of the B5 Dining Car in the train. Paul
  19. Paul 34F
    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

    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. Paul 34F
    The rear bench seat of Railcar 20 has been upholstered with a different pattern moquette. Paul

    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

    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

    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

    Airfixfan, Does the CDR diagram book contain details of locomotives, carriages and wagons? Has the Museum ever considered having it copied digitally? Paul
