Since the H vans will be winging their way to us soon, let me share this photo which is also a new arrival on the IRRS Flickr archive and dates from March 1964, at Inchicore. In the foreground is @jhb171achill’s nemesis, with a brush of black paint in his hand! This H van 18981 may be one of the first wagons to receive a tan roundel, as the logo had only been introduced couple of months previously. It’s in an odd place low down on the side of the van, and of course there’s that black underframe… https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/54251291181 The vehicle behind, also available from IRM is an LB flat, I think 23379, with snail logo and looking pretty clean and freshly painted in a slightly darker shade of grey than the H van. The flat wagon is carrying some sort of swapbody or Lancashire Flat painted bright red. This must be shorter than the later types as the wagon is only 16’11” long. It would be interesting to find more photos of these. Meanwhile, Limerick was painting smaller white roundels on wagons in 1964, and had got JHB’s memo about the underframe colour! https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307038 Edited Saturday at 08:01 by Mol_PMB reinstated missing link Quote
