    • Very good thinking, Mol. A friend of mine would take just the one. At least it’s a start! 
    • The November gallery kicks off with: Wednesday 4th November 2026: 4ICR Set 22026 which was involved in the recent collision with a tractor on a userworked level crossing near Tullamore on September 3rd 2026 required the three good cars from the set to be turned on the Limerick Jct. triangle prior to adding vehicle 22302 to the set as a temporary reformation until 22326 is repaired and returned to service. Monday 9th and Wednesday 11th November 2026: Images from Limerick and Thurles. Click https://thewandererphotos.smugmug.com/2026-Photos/November-2026 to view.  
    • I have succumbed to retail therapy and bought another loco. I must confess that I'm not a big fan of the BnT livery on the GM locos, preferring the later supertrain. But for my 1960s modelling period I can't really avoid having a 141 in the BnT scheme and seeing that the remaining stocks of MM locos at Rails are dwindling I have made a purchase of B147.  Of course, this will be regauged, renumbered and weathered in due course. B153 was photographed at Quartertown Mill, and also at Fenit, so is my preferred candidate. My childhood memories of a later era are of the 15x series which seemed ever-present around Limerick, so this will make a good companion to 156 which I have done already.  I fully expect to realise in a few weeks time that I have missed out on a Black Friday deal... Meanwhile, my rake of grain wagons is gradually being weathered. Photos in a few days time!
    • Well, if I ever find the time to progress the AEC Railcar kit project, perhaps we could do that in both scales and in blue/cream as well as green and BnT? I'm really hoping that life will get less hectic before the end of the year, and then I can put a decent amount of time into such projects. At present I'm lucky if I can grab the odd hour here and there.
    • Sorry Paul - delightful though It is I just couldn’t justify what I know it will cost - in your effort as well as the brass and set up costs - if it had been seen on the Irish North c1955 we’d be talking….
