Carriages of the Schull & Skibbereen Railway

[Wexford70]

Would anyone be able to recommend a source of diagrams for the Schull and Skibbereen Railway like the one below?

I have drawings somewhere - will fish them out.

Probably better posted under “models”?

Anyway, I can do better; herewith the entire rolling stock of the line. Can post livery details and loco drawings too if you want. James Boyd prepared these years ago, and I know would be delighted to hear they were being used. I’ll get you photos of the Fry models in the museum tomorrow.

Only two were ever CIE green.

Im struggling to think of any other 4 wheel narrow gauge coaches in Ireland, were these the only ones? 

(some joker will point out the Listowel and Ballybunion coaches as technically riding on 4 wheels despite being on bogies)

Maam Cross.

Alphagraphix do three of the four wheel coaches in a single pack of their card kits. At either three of four quid, 7mm scale, a real bargain and you could easily reduce them to 4mm on a copier.

Some CDR railcar trailers were 4-wheelers, do they count as coaches?

Where are you drawing the line between railways and tramways? Arguably S&S is already on the tramway side. In which case Giant’s Causeway and C&VBT should be considered.

Could these be re-posted in the "Resources" section?

It would make them much easier to find in the future.

Agreed - it really makes these much easier to find in future.

Thanks JB. That's an absolutely amazing resource

Why on earth did they even bother breaking out the brushes and paint when it was as good as dead?

And moreover why the ancient and probably uncomfortable as hell 4 wheelers?
