David Holman Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 All the more remarkable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry put his initials and a date on most (though not all) of his models. Look at the ones above - on the ends of some of those carriages, and the locomotive “makers plate”. On the Dublin & Drogheda one, for example, you’ll see “C L F 5.44” (May 1944) and dome of the carriages are 1947. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Keane Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Magnificent stuff, I believe Francis Wishaw, writing of the Dublin and Kingstown in 1841 described those yellow second class coaches as being 'superior to any in use in the United Kingdom', lovely stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
