Hi. Looking for 'Modern' Platform Seating (OO Gauge) similar to what has been in Heuston for a while now (attached). Any suggestions as to the closest match available? Any help is appreciated. Rob.
-
Great question- always wondered what camera work best for photographing layouts- l know it varies & depends on the person taking it too, but would be good to know.
-
The Heuston set up in the late '90's & 2000's (as l would remember it) was the best! Loco hauled sets with Dead end lines, always requiring another loco to be attached at the other end (as @Noel said) to either move the rake (of Mark 3 or 2- occasionally Cravens) out for valeting or to another departures platform. And all before the platforms were closed off like today so you had great views too!
-
Interesting video on You Tube showing 192 as a pilot at Heuston. Could watch these all day.
-
Mark III's are always exciting !!
-
Including the '3 window' Mark III Restaurant
-
Look forward to seeing it progress! Keep us posted.
-
Really great layout- not a fan of the 22000 in real life but your ones look absolutely brilliant. Love the rest of the layout too, fantastic!
-
Looks great! Fantastic pictures!

Any one got photos of Bell Containers in their 'fallen flag' era, after the company stopped trading but the containers were still in use with the logo and 'BELL' wording crudely blanked out? Would have been towards end of 1990's / very early 2000's? Cheers
-
Brilliant! Never saw that ever!
-
Interesting- never knew or saw a 071 with an Ammonia set, ever.
-
In that livery, it would have hauled: Passenger: Cravens / Mark 2 / Mark 3. Freight: Tara Mines / Container Liners Flats / Sugar Beet / Fertilizer (?) / Cement / HOBS etc Might be easier to say what they weren't hauling! (Ammonia Wagons!)
-
Maybe l'm ahead of my time- l already love stuff like the 201's & the Mark III's
-
I never mind losing, or having faded letters or different shades on stock as @DiveController said, it's realistic!!
-
Hi As a pretty anonymous building over by Platform 10, any clear photos of the Heuston Singal Equipment Room (SER)? Am looking to model something like it if any suggestions, but it's difficult to get a decent photo of it especially from the track side. Rob.
-
Wondering what is going on in when you see workers with a long iron hook walking slowly alongside the container flats at North Wall, poking at some of the couplings (but not all)? They take out the security chain aswell presumably to enable the containers be unloaded but wondering about the hook?
-
Great pic- 'Bell' everywhere & 'Freightliner' thrown in- Is there an approx date on this?

Hi. Any ideas where you'd get a OO Gauge Container Stacker (Yellow) similar to the Hyco Boss model that was used in North Wall (and elsewhere in Irish Rail freight yards)- see photo thanks to Ernie attached? Cheers. Rob.
-
Anywhere handy to pick up the Kadee 231 dry graphite powder? Haven't used it before...
-
Looking to gather together containers that were common in lreland around 2000 - 2010, couple of videos / photos from then show a lot of 'Norfolk Line' 40ft containers, but they seem hard to source- any suggestions where l might pick some up? (OO Gauge)
