Galway Livery

[Wexford70]

Hi guys,

It may have been discussed before but what was the standard consist of a Galway Livery train?

Were they Galway coaches ever used in mixed trains of MK2 after?

I have seen 112 hauling Galway coaches where 1 or 2 were in a different orange livery

 

 

 

im pretty sure mixing them in was a semi standerd practice. There was an ITG tour that did the same

mixing was common in later days. hear is a video I found with some mixing.

When the carriages were newly repainted/refubished, the set would be all Galway livery, 5 standards, buffet, standard, gen van.

As the Mk.2 air con ran down, the Galway carriges could turn up in ones or twos, mixed in with IE livery carriages.

Indeed - that's actually the only way I recall them, a few mixed in with all sorts of other stuff.... so for a modeller who only has one or two, no need to keep 'em all in a single dedicated rake.
