Question on this tour. Seen the times on Boards.ie Any one know why it changes to a Diesel for the leg from Mallow to Cork tomorrow evening return leg back to Cork from Killarny The Diesel then hauls it on Sunday from Cork to Mallow on Sunday and then it changes back to Steam? any ideas?

Cool, This Train is now due into Cork this Evening. Looking forward to seeing a Steam loco again! Leaving Cork tomorrow then for Killarney so no Lie in tomorrow am! Great sight and sound to be had coming up from Rathpeacon.

Good news so I ordered 4 of the original ones so will avail of mixing up of the new 2, I have a friend who will take the extra pack from me.

Freezer bag, Spray on in your Mr Muscle oven cleaner, paint will come off and the glazing will be ok. If the kit is built you can always use some very fine Wet n Dry down to 2000 grade and then clear coat it or cotton bud your over cleaner over it. I have not tried brake fluid but looking at the net advises it could cloud it. G

Is it in a spray can or tin? Would Vinny not be able to Advise.

Wow that last shot is Fab.

Was there a month after the WTC was hit, Had an Airshow itinerary booked but they were all cancelled so went railway & culture instead! Booked the observation open car with no windows, When we reached the snow line things started to get a wee bit cold but a 2 massive 'buckets' of Hot Chocolate save the day. I still have the cups they take a whole kettle of water! Great spot to visit. Loved listening to the radio during my stay there were instead of Traffic watch they had 'Bear Watch' These shots bring back great memories and nice to see no yellow jackets or yellow lines in evidence.

Now that is quite something to savour. Top class work. Are those coach side still available?

All soldered Des. Between that and filing off the little brass tags to make them sit lever, Sweet lord the mind was nearly gone.

Absolutely Fab Dunluce. Shows what can be done in such a smallish area. Love the details. Hopefully we will see this in Dublin in Oct?

I managed to get a few hours from work to nip up to the Junction the other week. Thanks to a road closure I missed it coming through Tipp town here are pic or two of just north of the Junction. Near Elfin I took these couple that you may find of some viewing pleasure.

Some more bits on the go over the past while. 6 SSM flats, all soldered,the bell container sets them off Dapol 15 ton Crane and made up jib carrier. nice little model this one despite gluing the jib Back to Front I managed to recover it!! Despite modelling for years always read the instructions!! other bits not really related, a fit of my Dads Paddler, Waiting on rigging and turnbuckeles for the mast to finish and an Airfix beam engine which I hope to motorise it.

How much?

ah Dave you have one already!! tis this one http://www.ehattons.com/52587/Bachmann_Branchline_32_529B_Class_55_Deltic_D9011_in_BR_Two_Tone_Green_weathered_/StockDetail.aspx

Great Effort Eamonn. The oily look really sets it off Have a look at the Humbrol tutorials on the weathering powders, they have 4 videos, you might pick up some tips for the next lot! the an post Van looks great..

Wowsers, Love the Behind the scenes look! How does the Jig Work, is it heated to form the contours?

Yep, Everyone was not talking about it during the Wexford model show is Easter!! Looks Fab, Might be tempted now to go to Tipp to see it today!! Need to plead now to get off a few hours early!

Just passed the office window, 229 light engine and 074 with the weedspray heading to Cobh. Great to hear the 071 horn today!! Should be on the way back to Cork I imagine in 20mins or so. Fab day for piccies too but no camera with me today.

Channel Packet Delayed and the Adams Tanks. Bummer.

Well just back from visiting the show last week. We were in Hamburg for a few days and got the ICE down leaving at0605 with a change in Hannover, Arrived at the show in Dortmund at 0930hrs. Saw some lovely Locos and stock during the spin down. When we arrived my god what a shock to the System. The place was huge and the quality of Modelling was fantastic, I only saw 1 UK layout,A GWR one but there was Primarily German, Polish, East German, French and US from Z up to G and Guage one Scale in layouts. Unbelievable amount of Traders peddling the latest DCC automation to Man Hole covers. Laser cut Card and wood seemed to be the new kid in town with some superb examples for sale. According to the buddies Phone app we walked 9.6kms around the show area, Beside the Trains there was also indoor and outdoor RC flying, RC boat Pond, RC Cars, Tanks and Plant plus plastic and card modeling. Despite the large number of bargains I succumbed and only purchased a Superb Laser Cut Card model in 1.72 scale of Roter San Lighthouse which is in Northern Germany. A 1.72 Merc 770 with Hitler and his buddies and a Mig-29.If I had room in the bag a RC Sea Fury would of been added to the fleet! Knackered we were back in Hamburg at 2230hrs later that night sipping pints. I can highly recommend this if you planning a visit to Dortmund area. 2 days would be handy and I would expect Week days are the best days to go. We will be back next year!

I'm 201'd out at this stage...

I picked up a nice class 73 for my class 80 Build. €30's only, Great nick, When I opened it there was a decoder inside. Result. Pick up some dapol Tankers for Conversion also and a few tools.

Nor Iron so it is.
