    Lovely! Note: B114's sister loco B113 is currently at the RPSI's Whitehead depot, being restored (having been moved from Inchicore Works in May). She is due to be put on display at the Ulster Transport museum at Cultra soon.

    Would that be the Civil War period (post-WW1)?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Bit later, Stu - circa 1923. Hadn't added date, have fixed that now...

    Lancia Armoured car converted for use on railway by the Railway Protection Repair and Maintenance Corps at Inchicore Works from 1921 to 1923. Approx 50 in total have been produced.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thanks for that, Peter! D'you know where any of them are now (if any survived)?
  • Pechristener said:
    No armoured Lancia in the rail version survived, but three trucks in the highway version are still existing and can be found in the following museums:

    - Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Holywood
    - Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Museum, Belfast
    - Museo della Motorizz. Militare della Cecchignola, Rome, Italy

    The base of the armoured vehicle was the Lancia Triota truck. More information about the armoured Lancia on rails can be found in the following book:

    That will be post 1958 when the assets of the GNR were split between the UTA and CIE. One of those rail buses is preserved and resident in the transport gallery of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra. www.flickr.com/photos/13073434@N03/40115430283/in/datepos...

    According to wikipedia these are called railbuses. The wikipedia article includes a photo of a GNR Railbus at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.
