I would have thought that if ever there was to be a case for a RTR Irish steam loco, a UTA "Jeep" or a J15 must be the prime candidates, as they worked over most of their respective systems in later steam days, and and example of both has travelled even further in the modern preservation era. It is now possible to have a complete Whitehead RPSI Mk 2 rake, including dutch van; many examples of what's in the Dublin RPSI Heritage set (e.g. Park Royals), and a complete set of blue RPSI Cravens would also be possible in model form, along with (in theory) 141, 142, 146 and A39. Therefore a model of 4, 184 and 186 is very useable in modern image. For a modeller attempting late UTA / early NIR, or early 1960s CIE, grubby Jeeps and J15s would be all over the place, simmering on ballast or beet trains while a shiny new black'n'tan thing hurries past.
