Any suggestions as regards improving an occasional issue with the large Tension Lock Coupling on a Mark 3 coach. All my locos (141 / 181 / 071 / 201) have the smaller type coupling & work perfectly with the similar type of smaller coupling on the rest of my rolling stock such as the MM Cravens, Tara Mines wagons, 42 Container flats etc. Potential issues arise when the locos are coupled with the rake of Mark 3's as the large TLC coupling on the coach does not obviously sit well with the smaller coupling on the loco- the length of the 'hook' on the Mark 3 is effectively too long to sit in the coupling on the loco when reversing. I don't necessarily want to go 'nuclear' and adapt the whole fleet into Kadee coupling for example,when everything else works really smoothly and there never are issues. Is there any possible way the smaller coupling (like that on the MM Cravens for example) could be adapted onto the Mark 3 coach that couples onto the loco? I don't see how, as the TLC on the Mark 3 is on the bogie whereas the smaller coupling sits on the coach / wagon itself. Any suggestions or help from you experts would be welcomed Rob. (I did search for a similar topic before in case it was covered but could not find)

Yes really looked excellent.

Busy few days

Or maybe say it is one of the Mark 3A Cù na Mara set with the black windows

Nice to see them get a run out

Just to say, really professional result here that l am VERY happy with and as people are often looking for this to be done, definitely one happy customer here who would fully recommend the service.

Yes, they are excellent. Totally recommend the service here- not only a really professional level of weathering (as is evident in the photos) but really quick turnaround with progress photo updates throughout too. There seems to be often queries about weathering services here so definitely recommend this- really top class.

Or you could always re-register the vehicles with lrish registrations once they land here !!!

This is absolutely top class

Great videos to watch.... but also Kahier Model Railway looks great. Great work already but a lot of potential too. The working semaphore signals are the best l've seen for sure!!!

Best of luck- l like the idea of a 1990's layout so look forward to seeing this!!

Yes. I like the concept of container terminals- they look great and always lots of options to change things around with different containers.

I like the look of the 201 behind more l will not be popular !!!!

They look fantastic. Looking forward to getting hands on mine shortly- they look really great!!

I suppose previous versions used to have the dual language as required but not duplicate the digits.

Yes, TFI branding on the bikes icon at the bottom.

Seems like new Platform signage is being installed in Heuston. Similar to the Navy style before it, but with a Green stripe now. No match for the White / Orange / Black style though!

That is really informative- never knew any of that. Sounds very complicated though!

I was wondering what the Letters displayed on the signals approaching Heuston refer to? I saw the letters UM displayed with the green signal on my walk there this morning. I have seen in the past the Platform Number displayed but never the letters. Sorry for poor quality of photo as it was far away and only getting bright.

Seems to be gone so somebody must have gone for it?

Yes, my favourite too! 2005 they started with the yellow ends which they kept when they were repainted into the Inter City Green / Silver. Always looked better on the Orange though

Great video. Layout looks fantastic! Great to watch.

Good luck! I was never brave enough to try myself- got an expert to do it before!!

So True!

Getting it back on track...... !!!
