The 4-wheelers were delivered in silver. Remember, you don't need one if there's a steam loco on the front, or if it's summer time. Only diesel-hauled in trains in winter need the steam.

Also about half of the AEC railcars had built-in boilers so they don't need a steam van either.

From Ernie on Flickr, it's August so there's no need for heating:

 

Note the old MGWR six-wheeled brake third (or brake compo?) immediately behind the engine - Cusack 1905-ish design!

The Midland 6 wheeler appears to be a Cusack outline 6 Wheel Full Brake 2 introduced 1908 & a further 8 in 1924 so not that old by Irish Standards

Most likely A35 is on a Tuam-Galway local, there is a 1957 Sam Carse photo of A40 at Tuam with an almost identical consist with a 6w GSWR rather than a MGWR Full Brake leading the consist.

I wonder whether the trailing vehicle is a fitted van/cattle wagon or a non-passenger vehicle (Horsebox or Meat Van)?

Hi everyone,

We've been known to "throw the kitchen sink" into models in our range, and the term can become quite literal with our coaches. Those familiar with our Enterprise Mark 2 coaches will attest to this, and now our Park Royals can boast the same with their snack car conversions.

Showing our fully decorated interiors against our integral interior lighting just sets these classic CIE coaches off a treat.

Pre-ordered yours yet? Our order book is filling up fast, so we recommend you get your n pre-order in fast to avoid disappointment!

Wow! I've ordered a couple of suburbans but not a snack car. Seriously tasty!

It'll be a great addition to have the main line ones. I'd be looking for a few for sure.

Absolutely. The first modification needed is to get that shutter open and put a member of staff in the kitchen. 
 

IRM have set a high bar for themselves. When the main line versions arrive, we’ll have to see what the lavatory details are like. A tiny soap grater above the basin?
