CIE Era Park Royal Coaches

[Noel]

Park Royal Coaches were part of the CIE Golden era from 1960s to mid 1970s when Black'n'Tan livery coaches had replaced the former flying snail green and eau de nil livery. This is one of the first rakes I've operated without a single Craven coach in the formation. As a child I remembered hardly any CIE coach formation had more two of the same coach types in it. It made for great diversity and visual stimulus. On local workings a single craven plus one park royal and a GSV or HLV made up a train.
