Some GSWR locomotives & rolling stock

[jhb171achill]

These are good quality and broadside, and show the original condition. The liveries are "works grey", not the actual liveries ever carried. For official photographs, the first of each was painted up in various shades of white, black and light grey shades to show detail. Contrsats, such as dark ironwork and pale bodywork, were not carried into real life. Livery notes for all of the following are:

GSWR wagons: All-over DARK grey, ironwork, roof & chassis included. Lettering white.

GSR wagons: Dark grey as shown on the GS grain hoppers, equivalent to LMS grey in England - again, all-encompassing.

Ranks wagon - at that stage, all over dark grey.

CIE grey after c.1960 was lighter than any of the above.

Locos: 36 & 123 lined dark olive green, same as 90 at Downpatrick.  The four in light grey, lined or unlined, would also have got this livery up to about 1900, and lined black between then and 1915, after which the all-grey appeared (in real life)!

The coach - very dark "crimson lake", lined - as per the shade used on Downpatrick's No. 836, or the RPSI's 1142.

Loco 850 - not sure. The white motion certainly wasn't used in traffic - the rest seems very dark, possible poor light (hence the white?) This locomotive would have been grey when new.

 

The pics are from an old collection in the hands of a friend of mine:

 

204 appears to be standard dark grey, while the MGWR tank, with no lining showing, must be in the 1918-25 MGWR black.

Lovely views. Interesting view of ‘Moy’ with brass numerals but with Ross Pop safety valves.
