I was thinking of doing that as I have two models of 077, but that’s why I wanted to ask first and see was I shooting myself in the foot if they were really popular. Id rather keep it pristine and do a trade for some 071 that I can use as a donor if people are looking for 077, means it’s a win win for both parties -

It’s a fantastic upgrade! More catchment at Ballincollig and new stations in the Docklands, Victoria Cross, and Ballincollig will all be brilliant for bringing more people to rail. The new alignment through Bishopstown will also really increase reliability and reduce travel time by removing the shared running section on the Bishopstown Road. Speaking of, there’s also far more sections of segregated running in the updated plans so the reliability of the Luas will increase hugely as a result. There has been lots of negative chatter from cheap-click newspapers like the Echo over the week about the new route causing people to lose garden space, but these are people who will now live a lot closer to a tram line, and, looking at how BusConnects went, get compensated quite comfortably for their taken land! Overall I think it’s a far better route than previously, and it’s one of the first times that I’ve actually seen a plan improve this drastically between consultation rounds so it’s great that the NTA are taking into account the public submissions to such an extent. Hopefully this goes as well (and as quickly) as it can for the Luas - I can’t lie it has an uphill climb ahead of it with the intense culture of NIMBYism that exists in Cork - but I’m very hopeful that sense prevails and we get this project over the line in the next couple of years. Great news overall though!! Does anyone know timeframe wise what is ahead of the project from this point? -
Distracted by thoughts of the Missus? Or possibly turning into Pat Mustard? 🤣 -
The new Luas Cork consultation has opened, with parts of the alignment reviewed. The Ballincollig loop has been moved further west, the Bishopstown alignment has been changed, and a few extra stops have been added in throughout. -

I done it in Inkscape, using photos to get the colours. It took a while and there were many steps in the process. I've long wanted to do a GNR building with the polycromatic brick, it's such a distincitive style.
