    I like sidings, and these photos are just brilliant. The photo with the overgrown laneway and the abandoned wagon is superb.

    I love photo all the same. It captures perfectly the absolute mess that railway yards etc were before the health and safety rules came in. Inchicore works was very similar, if not worse in the 1970's.

    I hope so? It's been a long wait

    I Im sure that these carriages were the only CIE carriages that had single louver windows, ( I'm open to correction) . Also, windows on carriages were never called windows in the workshop. They were called side lights. The window that Jonathan is referring to is a single louvre that is closed. I'm fascinated with the front of this coach, it really is a home made job.

    A great photo. I knew absolutely nothing about these coaches. The coach looks a bit clumsy imo, and about as aero dynamic as my shed door. But well done to the lads in the carriage shop.

    That's them alright, thanks for the photo. That's certainly a flashback.

    Speaking of beds on railway vehicles, I remember back in the late 1970's when the new ballast plough vans were being fitted out in the carriage shop. That there was a bed base made from plywood fitted in the van for staff? If someone has further information? My claim to fame on the plough van ,was doing some glazing with another guy on just one of the vans. Paul.....

    Oh yes, I'm loving this. I will look forward to seeing this running on the layout. Well done my man.

    By the way Josh, I could go on if you want? A lot more to see..
  13. exciecoachbuilder
    Oh, and seems that you mentioned the central stores, here are a few clues from it's former past. Should be easy for you Josh, to work out what sort of a workshop it was? Give it a go anyway josh. Don't forget and send me in a pic of your ticket machine. Pity you weren't around when they were demolishing the oul railway shed. Hard luck man..

    How insulting, thanks for that Josh.

    I never liked the later CIE broken wheel. Just leave it as it was, end of.
