    A very Facing Point Lock, judging by the lever colour. Very nice Paul

    Alan, I admire your work on the PP, but I need to point out an error on the tender. The coal raves or guards sit on top of the flare of the tender sides. I noticed Kirley built his tender for his AL class loco, the same way. Is it an error in the instructions? Kind regards Paul

    Leslie, I would check the back to back dimension of each pair of wheels. This may be the cause of multiple derailments. Kind regards Paul

    Hello Paul, I’m busy as well this week. I’ll sort out sending the details in a PM at the weekend. Kind regards Paul

    Hello Paul, @Galteemore mentioned my interest in the GNR carriages. If you want, I can send you a copy of my spreadsheet to cross reference. I haven’t been brave enough to publish it yet! It’s probably rather unwieldy, I suspect? Kind regards Paul

    Very nice piece of restoration. Also interesting to see a GNRI A class in as built in the photograph. Not seen that one before Paul

    Some really nice images from before the Emergency! Paul

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