Probably 2 Compounds for an SG3! CIE seem to have found the 0-6-0s reasonably useful and of the passenger locos only the Us and Qs seem to have strayed much onto the wider CIE system

Pun-ishment will surely come. Spectacular work Kevin.

Maybe Kieran Lagan?

O gauge DCC sound version is amazing. Horns play Amhrán na bhFiann

got your name all over it @Darius43

Agreed Leslie. Fabulous set of pics and some especially good GNRI ones.

Love it Darius. Always had a soft spot for fire stations - spent a fair amount of time in them 45 years ago as my dad was a part-time fireman in NI. Mind you I do prefer the old school appliances they had to modern machines…. These ‘set piece’ scenes are attractive for modellers but often look as if they have just been planted without context. This looks very well indeed, and the scene hangs together as a whole.

Braver man than me! My Irish locos, crude though they are, will only leave the house under strictly controlled conditions…..

Fair price folks. If you want something that’s nicely finished off and looks ‘Irish’ it’s a no-brainer. Plus, for the especially devout, having been once owned by JHB, they count as a secondary relic.

What if they do a VS, Leslie? Will you buy 5? Heresy I know, but I think the UTA livery would have suited both V and VS.

Nonsense JB. You’ll be building a fleet of D16s in no time at all. That yellow yoke seems square and free of creases. That’s a basic skill well mastered already. But this does bring home a lesson. If you see a brass kit you like - and can afford it - buy it. The supply line is generally one person deep and all it can take is a bad winter or a car collision and your supplier is out of the picture - possibly permanently. It’s also a fair argument for keeping your modelling focus reasonably narrow - limits the amount of temptation!

Great stuff JB. Well done indeed. Brass 6w coach next. And I bet it’s felt really satisfying to see something you’ve made yourself !

Please do Leslie. Make sure it’s prior to 30 Sep 1957 ….

Looks great Leslie and a degree of undulation is normal. Can’t wait to see 207 running through !

Agreed. I think a lot of people would snap these up.
