  1. They would, although there is a little bit of brass shaping to be done. Jim’s loco instructions will give you an idea of what’s involved in making a kit - you can also check out his 6w coach instructions which have much in common with Roger’s kits.
  2. Big question of course Alan is - what’s next ? New loco for Kilmore ?
  3. Sounds like a particularly incompetent murderer talking to defence brief !
  4. Wouldn’t start with a tender loco like a J18 or G2. The J26 is better. Best option of all is probably to start with a Jim McGeown - Connoisseur Models - beginner’s 0-4-0T which will teach you all you need to know. The loco can be made to look subtly Irish! As a bare minimum I’d go on Jim’s site and read the instructions for his beginner loco. That will show you what’s involved..see this pdf 0 Gauge Starter Loco pdf print off.pdf
  5. Fab. Think I have seen this in the wild! Ideal prototype for an Irish version too….
  6. This pic just appeared on Fn which may help your plans
  7. Wow. The 500 is striking but that S class takes the biscuit. Simply stunning
  8. First building made for a new project. GNRI signal box painted in Irish North colours. Huge shout out to @Patrick Davey for advice. Basic design is from Alphagraphix kit, scratchbuilt in plastic card with some special laser cut wooden parts. PP trying it out for size. Lots of annoying errors but falls short of dashing against the wall level. Should pass the 2’ rule….
  9. No worries. @Irishswissernie can probably point you to more of his sources
  10. Ernie’s Railway Archive on Flickr. I can do you 74 at Enniskillen in 7mm scale !
  11. Fabulous. You can see why enthusiasts loved them. Real elegance as it rolls
  12. It really makes me so cross when this info is so freely available. This latest book from Damien Lewis annoyed me considerably ..given that the raid in question was in 1940s continental Europe, why is a 1950s UK steam loco involved ?
  13. Almost as if the two Courtaulds loco have taken a spin down from Carrick!
  14. The only part of the PP body kit I bought that was in any way near done was the basic tender body, so this bit was actually done for me. Here’s my finished tender pre-painting, if that helps, Alan. The tender is not level - that’s deliberate as it makes the loco carry the weight for adhesion purposes.
  15. Great. Sometimes that’s all you can do - and it’s enough. It was eaves brackets for me tonight
