    I see what you’re did there!!!!! Paul

    Thanks for the enlargement. I wonder if what I can see is roof patch repairs? The little blocks are unusual. The one photo I can think of, is taken at the normal 3/4 angle. So maybe of no benefit. I wonder what the rest of the group think it is. Paul

    On reflection, I wonder if it’s a M1 van? There are other photos of one at the front of the train. If so, are those cables on the roof? Paul

    The roof of the clerestory carriage at the front of the Bundoran Express is interesting. Pity the steam hides the coach sides. It would be nice to know the identity of the vehicle. Paul

    Thank you for the information. I’ll have to search it out. Kind regards Paul

    FS, Thank you for the PM. That was the picture I was thinking of. Much appreciated. Kind regards Paul

    Thank you airfixfan. Can anyone assist with the image, please? Kind regards Paul

    Many thanks to Irishswissernie for the photograph. It’s around 1913 when the S Class was new. My memory, maybe messing with me, as I recall a picture from a slightly earlier time frame. It maybe in another book, but I’m not sure which one. I’m chasing details of a van with the side light mounted above the Guards Lookout, (Caboose, on the some Dundalk diagrams). Not sure if it was an M1, M2 or even a W1? Hope this information may trigger someone’s memory. Kind regards Paul

    Hello one and all, At the moment all my books are in store, (I have mentioned this previously elsewhere, sorry!). Would someone be kind enough to send me a copy via PM of the posed Official photograph of a GNRI train in the early Edwardian period. I believe the locomotive is either a Q or QL and the train is posed on a curve. If I recall correctly, the image is published in Locomotives of the GNRI. Thank you in anticipation, Kind regards Paul

    Hello Bob, I’ve sent you a PM related to the Vacuum Cleaning Van. Kind regards Paul
  11. Paul 34F
    Nice to see a picture of the Vacuum Cleaner Van. I’ve got a drawing from the diagram book of it. Paul
  12. Paul 34F
    Depends on the time frame you are considering. A note on the drawing mentions the vehicle class being altered. This is the clue to it becoming third class vehicle. No doubt this would have been when the bogie carriages took over duties on the mainline. Paul

    Hello Bob, I’ve sent you a PM. Kind regards Paul

    Bob, I’ll have to check through the 6 wheel carriage diagram book to see if I can identify the vehicles in the train in this image, especially the one you are interested in. Kind regards Paul

    Dear All, I have been checking through the IRRS GNRI Carriage books on my computer. I’m trying to figure out when the first vehicles were built with Vestibules, a.k.a. Corridor Connections? I’m certain a date is mentioned in one of my collection of books, but they are stored safely away, whilst we renovate our place out here in Romania! The issue has reared its head, as I’m trying to figure out whether the F1 1st / 2nd composites with Clerestory roof were built with Vestibules? Many thanks in advance Paul

    Slightly off topic, but bear with me. Here’s a possibility for an alternative piece of history. What if at Independence, the Ferry and the Boat Train switched to the other side of the Lough? They would be alterations, but the line from Goraghwood to Warrenpoint would still be open. The level crossings in Newry would be an issue. However, anything is possible. Paul

    Looking at an enlarged version of the turntable, you can make out the Lock Latch at the end of the table. Also, there is point rodding running back from the lever frame along the platform wall in the direction of the Signalbox. I suspect the Lever also interlocked with the Signalling to confirm the table was in the correct position prior to clearing the Home Signal for an arriving passenger train. Paul

    Paul 34F replied to Angus's topic in Workbench

    Angus, You’ve got a lot further than I ever managed. I had built a chassis for a GNRI Class A 0-6-0, but I couldn’t get it quite level and then I started to need glasses and lost interest. I’m now fiddling around in S scale instead. If you’d like the wheels and other bits I acquired your more than welcome to have them. Paul

    Looking at this last photo, I would estimate the Hopper Vent window is 2/3rds the depth of the Sliding windows. Hope this helps Paul

    David, Lovely work, “Shannon” has another 50 years of running ahead of her now. Paul

    Nice to see the Railcars on the move. I last saw them at the Doncaster Show. Here’s to more video’s Paul

    Here is the picture. Hopefully copyright isn’t infringed. Paul

    Good morning, I believe the model you are seeking was built by David Lloyd, who was the first editor of Continental Modeller magazine, published by Peco. There is a picture of the locomotive on page 60 of “The Modeller Book of Narrow Gauge”, published in 1986. The caption says David built the 4-8-0 in 1960, then it passed to Michael Taylor, but in 1986 she resides in the L&LSR Boardroom. It would be nice to see some up to date photos if she can be located. Paul

    Spot on David. I enjoyed your article on building wagons. Going to give it a go myself Paul 4475

    Mike, David mentioned you were going to be at Doncaster on the Sunday. It is a pity we missed each other. However, I'll have to pay a visit to the Sleaford club sometime soon. Thank you for your comments re the photo's. Not bad for an iphone6. It is a fascinating layout and more than justified the trip to the show. Paul
