jhb171achill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 An open letter, I suppose, to the likes of Finnyus, Hurricane, The Wanderer and others among the excellent photographic community that exists now.... Few as the photos were that I took (in the mid 1970s film was dear, as was processing, and I got pocket money rather than state employee's pay cheques), I always thought in terms of the potential use I might make of them if ever I decided to make models of any. Little did I know that I would go down the continental narrow gauge route, though if I hadn't, why would I try to make models when messrs SSM, Provincial, Murphy, Worsley, IRM and many others are doing a better job..... Anyway, my point is - it might be of interest if you folks of the upper-drawer photographic community had perhaps a data base of straight side-on and end views, above roof views, and detail views of each type of loco, coach, wagon and yellow machine variety over the years... We all know how beneficial a flat side-on view is to modellers. Maybe you have already; just a thought. Meanwhile, keep up the excellent and necessary work of recording every detail of the railway.

Warbonnet Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 We're always on the lookout to build up the reference library for current and possible future projects JB! We would love to have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 I've put up (or upside down) a few of mine in the past, Warbonnet - will have a delve. My main point was that those of the esteemed gentlemen mentioned above 9and others) would probably be a great deal better quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanemk1c Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I can have a dig around. In fact I already have an album on Flick ready, with a few ICR and Luas details in. I do have somewhere a selection of 201 chassis pipework photos, bogie details and HOBS details. I'll try and keep it in mind next time I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The crew access hatch looks a bit small, are they only employing leprechauns now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Great pictures kieran, we need a lot more detail pictures like these. Would you have anymore detail pic's of JESS for a future build would be a big help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanemk1c Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 It's a pretty plain vehicle from a photography point of view. Any particular area you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 those pictures are great, thanks. I would like to see the inside and the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Could I make a plea to remember to photograph the infrastructure, signals , small stuff in yards, building etc. This is typically stuff that's bulldozed with little record , whereas we have zillions of loco pics. Thanks everyone that takes a photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanemk1c Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I shall try and remember to do so Junctionmad. There's a few bits on my Flickr already But in the meantime, I've updated my Detail Photo album on Flickr, giving it a broader remit and becoming "Modellers Reference Photos". For easy of access, I've split it in two: -Rolling Stock: -Infrastructure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
