jhb171achill Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 In 1994, three (or is it four?) bogies plus van was a hefty enough load for that service, which usually had two and occasionally one coach......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That engine looks very S/S2 class to me, and there's a trace of a nameplate on the leading splasher. Looking at the shape of the cabside numerals, I'd say that's a "1" in front. The second numeral is rounded, which I guess to be a "9", and so is the third numeral. That makes the engine S2, either 190 or 192. I'd say it's more 192, so Slievenamon. I know the UTA renumbered this one 63 in its list, but the cabside (and indeed the whole engine) suggests this hadn't been repainted at the time of the photo.

Irishswissernie Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I have acquired a few more narrow gauge negatives, not brilliant quality and with faults but I think they are quite interesting. Date for these 2 views at Lahinch featuring ex T&D 6T and 7 C must be between 1953 and 1956. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope its definitely DR (Narrow Gauge Rolling Stock Page 64) ,not sure about the number as it certainly isn't Red Van 14 as theres numerous photos of it.Possibly it took the number of the donor chassis as 290 did with a CVR convertible van (Narrow Gauge Rolling Stock Page 77).Andy.

Maybe we’re talking about two different things…. the one I meant was a CVR passenger van which apparently remained in its original deep maroon livery with no markings other than a “14” on the door…..

Same vehicle the photo also at Strabane was taken in 1947 the only visible lettering on the van is a DR on the centre moulding on the door,though there is a small board up by the eaves on the right hand side with some indecipherable lettering on it.The caption states that its 14 which is quite posssible as the donor chassis is certainly one of the original WDR chassis judging from the grease axleboxes and brake gear so the CVR van inherited the original number makes sense though the link and pin coupling is just weird.Andy.
