NarrowGauge

I have finally made a start on my 00n3 layout I know it is bare bones at the moment but will try to get bits done on it over Xmas 

That it very interesting thanks again 

Hi there I recently acquired a load of oo Gauge four wheel vans I thinking about about doing a shunting layout so my question is which era did the four wheels vans go out of traffic so I can get the livery right for the Locos used on the layout thanks in advance 

I forgot to mention that some are with the snail logo and some have the C.I.E round logo

For a smallish shunting layout Castlederg has a lot going for it,plenty of operational interest,all the coaches brakes and most of the wagonry available as kits as well as the railcar (a nice beginners  kit with a ready to run chassis available)No6 available as a complete kit nb not the Branchlines kit which advertises itself as such but the GEM one for IOM11-13.Its one of the few Irish lines which the PECO 12mm points look right with(bit too tight a radius for most).Whats more 4 and 5 are pretty easy to scratchbuild.Incidently it looks like i'm bringing Castlederg over for the Cultra model railway show  on the 10th of november(Land Rover willing) Andy.

Right ok thanks for the info good luck getting there in the Landy

Sounds like a plan I wish there was more Narrow Gauge on here some nice models they Gents nice to see other OOn3 models coming out of the cupboards

Yes I thought it was so I bought it anywhere it was only £20 off amazon 

 

That book was Fayle's "Narrow Gauge Railways of Ireland", published in 1947. A very rare beast indeed, with many rare photos. I have a much-prized copy in my catacomb-like archive......

I think I have found it ?? Could you please comfirm

I will have a look around for it cheers 

 

I copied this from some book years ago, don't recall which. I'm sure someone here could tell you.

Brings back memories of seeing 146 has station pilot in limerick  

Thought I would show a picture of my backwoods T&D no 3 for my proposed 00n3 layout 

What do you have left ??

Thanks for the info gents I cannot find much about the U&C so is there anymore info on it just want a ideas for the line route and see if I can fit my layout in to it 

Thanks for the advice Gents I will look into the Ulster & Connaught railway has it sounds like they is some scope for a bit of freelancing the layout would be based in the 50’s more scope for mixing stock 

Hi there I am looking for any Irish 00n3 stock kits,half built kits,locos,wagons,coaches,

What you got get in touch 

Hi there over the last few years I have been collecting OOn3 Irish Narrow Gauge stock built up a large ish collection so would like to a build a layout so any ideas for a 4x2 shunting type layout must of the stock is Cavan @ Leitrim but some of it is Tralee and Dingle I have looked up the C&L but cannot find anything any ideas ??

Thanks in advance
