Lovely, and many thanks for the pointer. Another source for me to trawl and reproduce on my various diatribes!

Note that AEC 2630 is in the early BnT livery, though fitted with a driver's door in the normal BnT livery which nicely illustrates the difference in the depth of the orange band.

And when I make some more progress on my CIE green livery thread and you all start thinking I'm crazy when I talk about green roofs, those West Clare railcars are a fine example.

Tried clicking on the photos but keep getting an error - might just be the work wi fi.....will try again later at home.

On that subject, the RCTS photo archive is another good source of images, such as this:

If you go to the search, then choose 'Irish Railways (CIE)' in the 'subject' heading and you can then also filter by colour images, date etc.
