Yes that sign will be a nice touch. Option 3 would look good in white writing on black - and translated into Irish. Something like ‘muileann na ceathrún baile’. That’s the GSR look …went for that on my first Irish layout !

Richard Ellis Hobbs produced a 3d JT class already I think ? Pic below. Could be an interesting proposition either way for 21mm gauge. I had to grind away large parts inside the tanks of the of mine in 7mm to fit 5’3” in.

Fab. An order duly placed! From long experience, it’s one of the best ways to support preservation.

In terms of extra parts….All you will get are flat etches of sides, ends, floor and footboards - and hopefully a chassis etch. You’ll need wheels/bearings, buffers, vac pipes, couplings/NEM pockets, door handles, roof fittings, and axle guards

Real master class in turning out an operationally effective, scenically delightful layout in a reasonable space. Very nicely done. Care is required though…

Card kits are fab and make great templates. I used one to make the signal box I just finished.

Yes it’s all most interesting. I’d say tbh that an F6 could work well as a 3d print. That footplate is very tricky to get right in brass. Got that T-shirt….

These were off BP drawings I supplied. But they may be able to work off dimensions

Big shout out for FK3D, a 3d printer who have done Irish stuff for me. Very helpful and reasonable. No connection other than satisfied customer etc

It’s a fairly simple but clever system of wires and brackets, which should work equally well. The 2-4-0 and 2-4-2T designs have a basic sprung pony truck arrangement. The 2-2-2T has a most unusual springing arrangement with a flexible piece of brass.

Looks like a spring driven device rather than pyro.

Ah come on JHB you can do better than that. Surely you can flog that cannon to some of your tourists for hundreds of euro by telling them it was used by Michael Collins as a child…Seriously, some great material there for conversions . That Fowler tank is a good donor for a WT and the Compound for….well, a Compound. Schools class makes a fair VS.

Same with Guinness engine. Galteemore snr snr supplied the paint for that !
