DSER short wheelbase goods van

[jhb171achill]

Taken well away from home, this is at Achill in 1934.

 

Still in DSER dark grey, but with GSR lighter grey planks replaced bottom right. The DSER number is on the left. On the right, the GSR have applied it too - though with a barely discernable "D" after it, this being the suffix for ex DSER carriage and wagon stock.

 

The roof, of corrugated iron sheet, appears to cover what originally would have been a "soft top" roof with an open bit in the centre.

Thanks for posting this John. I am fairly certain i have never seen a DSER van in its original livery

PS If you find some pics of 800s be SURE to post them!

Lovely stuff JB - 9'6" wheelbase or shorter maybe?

Interesting roof, looks like corrugated sheeting:confused:
