jhb171achill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Going back to the earlier days of the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway, a standard format of wagon numberplate was used. The GSWR has theirs too. The BNCR one would end up being copied by the MRNCC, then the LMSNCC, these being retained in many cases by the UTA. As late as the early 1980s, NIR retained the old York Road steam crane, and a match truck for this still had one. The following will be of use to modellers of anything NCC. The GSWR design would also be maintained by the GSR, CIE and IE. Examples may still be seen today. A few lineside trespass signs too: a few of these would liven many a platform end. The GSWR often had them at the end of platform ramps. The DWWR style of wagon plate with square corners was perpetuated by the DSER.
