For many reasons, the Mark 3's should never have been scrapped!

Any idea where l could locate some (preferably grey) Platform Ladders with Safety Rings, similar to the one in the photo for accessing the platform canopies? They often come with signals (such as CR Signals) but wondering any ideas where ladders like that can be sourced on their own. Also looking for some Refuelling or Water Pump Points similar to the photo below if any one can help where l could find any? (OO Gauge) Thanks!

Hi. Any suggestions of where l could source decent Fencing for OO gauge railway yard along the lines of that at Heuston attached? Something that doesn't require to be painted preferably !! Cheers.

To understand the signalling numbering system like that in Heuston (HN)- in the case at a points crossover, where the driver has the option of: - Continuing straight or - Crossing over to shunt on a different line, should the Shunt (S) number on the signal with the arrow, show the number of the line the driver is on NOW, or the one he is going to crossover into? Hope it makes sense! Eg: if a driver was entering Heuston in the pic below and there was a Shunt Signal facing him with Arrow to the right, what number would be on the Signal Number?

Always great to see updates from here- brilliant!!

That looks spot on- look forward to the photos when the decals are on it!

Looks great- Really excellent!

Same question about Heuston Station- what would be the best source for track plans?

Look great- really professional finish. 10 / 10 !

IÉ Mark 3, Fran. IÉ Mark 3

Great question! Two 7 car rakes of Mark 3 IÉ coaches (incl EGV's, Restaurant (proper windows) & Citygold) in a reasonably similar shade of orange!! Hint, hint ...

Very interesting info for a Mark 3 devotee like myself ! Btw, where can one find lists of Mark 3 formations from 2003 / 2009 as mentioned?

Yes- have always found him excellent in any dealings.

Destination would be towards Heuston given the 'Standard' coach behind the loco- the formation for any Mark 3 set towards Heuston.

You don't have much choice there Dave, really.....

Looks brilliant!

I look forward to seeing the DVT, so rare!

Looks great allright- what have you used for the scenery banks base here?

Great video to see, but sad to see the end of the Mark 3's...

They look superb!

Looks excellent- very realistic!

Really looking forward to the DVT !

They look really good, excellent work!

Look forward to seeing that- l've never seen a model of the IR Mark lV DVT!

Definitely a 'runner', interested in 'lrish only' and within that, late 1990's / early 2000's before the dreaded modern Railcars took hold. Currently redeveloping layout to properly run my collection of (all with boxes) locos (201, 071, 181 & 141 class) and including MM Cravens & Lima MM Mark 3's. All are weathered, have broadly same shade of orange and have to be authentically numbered, window stickers etc. (Very sad l know!!) Like the Freight wagons from lRM from that '90/2000's era. Obsession (and that is the word) is the lrish Mark 3's and always looking for more Standards but ALWAYS searching for the elusive EGV, (proper) Restaurant & Citygold aswell- any help here is ALWAYS welcome! Very envious of the layouts here and the amazing talents people have!
