Warbonnet Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 As I make my way to the Wexford show IRM’s design genius @Glenderg is busy CADing up our first loco between Easter eggs and his leg of lamb. The turfburner is a complex beast but should make for an excellent model and we wanted to do something uniquely Irish. Now, has anyone got a sound recording? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirflick Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Fran - might there be the option of the 'Burner' with and without her smoke deflectors and early/ late liveries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 What was the nature of the turf used? Was it variable 'hand-won' sods or more regular machine-turf? Or even milled peat, perhaps? Is there a suitable 1/76th scale product available, or will you be able to provide a specialist substance? Turf is not like coal, where you can just crush it to a suitable size. I spent several days cutting a sod into several thousand blocks, only to find that it isn't a stable material at those sizes. Obviously, there will also need to be a specialist smoke oil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Milled peat won't actually work in the live steam version. It need to be cut using a left-handed sleán. Good modelling opportunity, actually. Does anyone know whether there is an opportunity to purchase a bundle of turn burners @Warbonnet or do I have to wait to get the discount code from the A class model @Glenderg first to avail of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieB Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 What will be nice for fans of OVS Bulleid’s work is to be able to compare the turf burner alongside his SR main line diesel 1-Co-Co-1 courtesy of Kernow Models. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shrives Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Good for all at IRM - a long felt want !! or a peat want ... I think I understood the plans were used to smuggle A class drawings out of the works ..... and by sheer chance and a bit late I came across a GA for a APT - E while looking for something completely different at home yesterday.

Hmmm - couldn't say...never seen the asses of the brave men at IRM Towers!! Eau de nil.... but faded! Early colour photos show it originally in what may possibly be a mid grey. It looks as if it was repainted at one stage, despite its extremely short career. Possibly the first trial run was in works grey undercoat..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
