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
-
Nice to see a picture of the Vacuum Cleaner Van. I’ve got a drawing from the diagram book of it. Paul
-
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

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.

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
-
Dear All, I had the pleasure of meeting David on Saturday at Doncaster Racecourse. Arigna is impressive in the photo's, but it is just as good in the flesh. Despite the obvious simplicity of the track layout, it is obvious that the Operator can get quite absorbed in operating the station, especially with eight different trains (including railcar's) to run. Any errors were down to distraction on my part! Anyway, here's some of my pictures from my phone. Paul 34F

David, Apologies for not writing sooner. I've been laid low with a bad head cold. Thank you for your explanation on using the DAS clay. The PVA is probably the key to the cracking problem. The layout is starting to look like a classic already. The scenery is very impressive. Paul 34F
-
David, Looking forward to seeing Arigna and yourself at Doncaster on Saturday. Have a good journey Paul 34F
-
David, The loco shed looks impressive. How do you stop the Clay drying out to quick and cracking? Paul 34F
-
This looks promising. I've been looking at obtaining a Cutting machine, but didn't know about the Cricut. Time for some research, I think! Keep the pictures coming please. Paul 34F
