Hi Dave, Having been through this trawl myself, good shots of 70's P&T or even early Telecom Eireann vans on the web are almost non-existant. As for 70's ESB, not an idea. Reeling in the Years might be useful. Regards Weshty.
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Why not ring ESB and talk to the education dept? they were more than helpful to me some years ago.

Weshty Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Ah yes, Steve Rabone's CIE lorry photo. I really need to kitbash one of my bedfords to make this one. Aren't there some 70's montage pictures on the old site that might be useful? They're not high resolution, but they would give an idea.
ttc0169 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Ah yes, Steve Rabone's CIE lorry photo. I really need to kitbash one of my bedfords to make this one. Ah the memories-The Ballina based Bedford, I would definatly like a couple of these on my layout-any suitable doner?

Ah the memories-The Ballina based Bedford, I would definatly like a couple of these on my layout-any suitable doner? I got an oxford flatbed for about £6. Not ideal but better than spending £16 on one of the LLEDO. Might tackle this evening... Have to say Anto, that NR transit is spotless.
ttc0169 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks Des,I'll check that out-your unit load transfers will come in handy also for this project.

This is a scene that belongs on 'Patricks Layout'!
