My interest in this special started when I recalled a photograph a neighbour gave me many years ago, unfortunately I have since mislaid it. Taken on an old 'box camera' the photograph showed a CIE Class B141 arriving at Omagh General Station c.1963-64. After the closure of the Enniskillen line in 1957, pilgrims left the train and were taken by bus to Lough Derg.
I was lucky enough to purchase a Murphy Models CIE Class B141 this week which has added much interest to my layout 'Derry Road Runabout'. I have also since been able to get some interesting information about the service. In the CIE Working Timetable they were designated 'OMA DE' and they dominated the Lough Derg workings in 1963 and 1964.
The train comprised a Luggage Van, a couple of standards, a Combo, former Great Northern Diner C402N and a brake/standard.
Knowing little or nothing about coaching stock I would like to know if any of the above are available RTR?
Incidentally, the photograph below is B153 at Pomeroy 14th Aug 1964 - photo by Sam Williamson.
