It’s delightful I agree. But did nothing to make such lines viable given the traffic density. I remember reading a quote in a book about Col Stephens and his railways, describing how horrified he would be about such high standards on a tertiary route! One of the reasons the SLNC limped on as long as it did is that its PW was just good enough to work. That said, I do recall with nostalgia the GN main up to the 80s when the mileposts between Dundalk and Drogheda had manicured grass surrounds… -
Excellent work as always Killian. I am a great believer in the potential for 3d printing, especially for the Irish steam scene. The great challenge for RTR Irish Steam is the sheer variety of classes and variants. This example illustrates the possibilities of bringing these to life and taking full advantage of the ever-widening range of Irish RTR rolling stock coming online. Killian's excellent work shows the level of detail that can be achieved. -

Good morning all, Pictures from last Sunday and Monday have just been uploaded to the April gallery. Sunday 14th April 2024: A Sunday evening "chase" on the Nenagh Branch between Birdhill and Cloughjordan photographing the 1735 Limerick - Ballybrophy. Monday 15th April 2024: Iarnrod Eireann have started to move the Tara Wagons from Dublin's North Wall yard, where they had been stored since Tara Mines halted production in Summer 2023, down to Limerick for further storage. The first movement of 11 wagons occurred on Monday 15th April when 075 brought them towards Limerick as a 0937 North Wall - Limerick transfer. Unfortunately the service ran into difficulty after Portarlington and was eventually terminated in Ballybrophy to await a visit from Limerick Maintenance Depot due to a wagon defect. The train remained in Ballybrophy overnight. Click https://thewandererphotos.smugmug.com/2024-Photos/April-2024/i-Jb4wKMd to view. -

Here is a project Ive been working on with @GSR 800 for some time, its getting to the stage where the work in progress images are starting to be worth showing, an 800 for 00 gauge to fit the hornby Royal Scot chassis, consequent to the use of that chassis, the front has had to be shortened by 2mm between the bufferbeam and the front of the smokebox, other than that its the intention to have it accurate as near as possible rivet-for-rivet When posed next to a loco 46 years its elder (and much more my usual type of modelling, again a work in progress), you get an appreciation for the immense size of the prototype
