Depot #8 by Riverbank Railways (fictional 1980s / early 1990s depot)
Rob replied to Adrian's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Very impressive! The oily, dirty look under the shed looks very lifelike! -
They look very impressive

I always am impressed by quality modelling done a long time ago. It must have been so much harder to do anything 'back then' such as getting or sourcing materials or equipment, no quick 'googling' of an image if you were trying to recreate something and the costs must have been proportionately so much more expensive than today. Fair play on this- looks great!

Cheers! Most of all that weathering on the wagons, containers etc was thanks to Irrailways Weathering Services from @Dempsey here!
-
A quiet Sunday in the freight yard of Heuston North- with a set of Tara Mines wagons and empty container flats parked in the sidings. 146 idles in another siding.

Love the power washer!!!
-
Yes, echoing the other comments here, it's really impressive. Very authentic- the viaduct looks great.
-
They look excellent to me- not an expert on things steam but those photos look excellent
-
Great shots- good to capture the debut! Nice to see the old reliable DANA tankers too at the start. Thanks for the pics- hope to see more in the future!!

http://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2021/0929/1249615-freight-railway/ Good to see- wondering are there any decent photos of the debut today?
-
I see the coloured springs on the bogies of the Mark 3 Executive- very topical !
-
They were around by April 1998- see photo from Colm O'Callaghan's excellent book 'lrish Traction Iarnród Éireann'. I never saw more than one in a single train but may have been, given the amount of Bells that must have been around when they finished.
-
Bell 40's would have been well gone by then- some lingered on in a 'fallen flag' status for a while after ('Bell' wording painted out but rest of the container still the same). See Ernie's photo from Limerick 2000.
-
Amazing quality- brilliant detail!
-
Brilliant- scenery is very impressive in particular
-
Great news- If only it led to a move back to evening movements down Alexandra Road instead of night time....!!
-
Now, THAT would be great. Look forward to that for sure
-
Yes John- from regularly stalking the IWT liner at North Wall for years, coupled with hours of watching videos of lrish container trains on-line going back a decade or so (l need to get out more), l too previously tried to piece together what available containers would suit a modern liner. CAI / CRONOS / EVERGREEN / GENSTAR / HAPAG LLOYD / K LINE / MSC / MAERSK / OOCL / ONE OCEAN / CMA CGM/ HAMBURG SUD / KYK LOGISTICS / TIPHOOK. 20 ft Tankers: BRUHN / GCA TAINER / DANA / EUROTAINER / HOYER Hope it helps.
-
Agreed- Definitely not 1987- with the 45' Cobelfret, it looks recent enough from the last few years at most, but shows the Evergreen does appear.

Avonlea Sun Loco service facility. CP Rail
Rob replied to NIRCLASS80's topic in US / Canadian Railway Modelling
Looks very impressive! I know nothing about US stock but it looks great. -
...and they look every day of it too!
-
Just 20ft Tankers on the liner this evening in North Wall- no 20 / 40 / 45 ft containers which is rare. Never saw 'Murphy Transport Ltd' tanker before either- too far away to take photo but they were like the one below, alongwith the usual 'DANA' and 'GCA'. Maybe a new one for C Rail??
-
Since the moving of the IWT Liner down to Ocean Pier from North Wall to nighttime, there seems to be a lot less containers on it when it is parked up after arriving from Ballina. Maybe just coincidence with a quieter time or is there some reason?
-
Great videos- definitely a great era just slightly too early for me. Push forward just one decade and you have the greatest era in lrish Railways!!!!! (Am sure l will be in minority though )
-
It's often parked up there on it's own allright. Don't like the livery but like the loco though! Great pic
