David Holman Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Impressive! When were these models built? 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 12, 2022 Author Posted February 12, 2022 Most of those particular ones in 1940s. Quote

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
Killian Keane Posted February 21, 2022 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
