GSR & MGWR station paint

[jhb171achill]

A recent examination of the remains of Achill station revealed that some original paintwork has showed up, illustrating the brown, later Indian Red used by the MGWR on station woodwork, and the later GSR green. I'll try to upload a picture here....

 

 

Does that work? It's from an iPad....

Is it still a youth hostel or something??

The station building is. The goods shed is empty - re roofed but stripped inside. The goods office same; loco shed (heavily and unrecognisably rebuilt) and attached Locomen's dorm are derelict. The water tower and coaling stage still stand.

 

The paint samples are from inside the door frame of a door on the seaward side of the goods shed.
