    I suspect they are vents. Warm bread placed in a cold, unvented box would ‘sweat’ and go off faster.

    Hello - looking for detail pics of the tenders as used primarily by 1948 Us and UGs - especially details of coal face, tender top etc. Thanks in advance!

    Excellent, and a healthy train service. Commuting from Oranmore (where,incidentally, the GNRI MAK diesel ended its days) is clearly a viable option. Really good to see Ennis and Limerick as destinations from Galway - I remember when that was not so! Sligo next….;)

    That’s lovely. Inspiring me to make a start on my next one…

    Can’t imagine why a Guinness would possibly want to cast shade at Smithwicks…..

    I understand they have a tiger team looking into it

    That’s gorgeous Alan. Really inspiring to see it coming together. With you on wrappers !

    Serves them right for going in daylight

    Explicitly stated in the announcement that they can be

    Terrific news. They deserve to do well and I think they will

    Excellent. Just the thing for the NCC’s secondary lines had they endured. Are you going to file off the smokebox numberplate and add a door wheel?

    Early photos often were ‘staged’, for various reasons. They were very expensive, so had to be done in one take if possible. Early shutter speeds also meant that movement was out of the question if you wanted a clear image. I spent many hours once employed listing a Victorian photograph archive, and it was soon obvious that, back then, having your picture taken was a big deal!

    That’s interesting. Looks like a rake put together for trial purposes. Perhaps CIE considered buying some of the NIR stock after the spoil contract finished

    Thanks Darius. I had half wondered if it was something like that. Really looks good and will be interesting to see in situ on the layout….

    Terrific work Darius. I’m not especially well versed on the prototype- what’s going on here ? David

    That’s just lovely. Really nice to see the timetable shaping up

    Am sure you’ll find a solution Alan. Looks absolutely fabulous

    At least we can lay claim to having a chairman of NIR as an old boy - and the NCC compounding genius Bowman Malcolm

    The acronym was the bane of our lives growing up. A regular source of mockery by other schools….

    That’s an incredible layout. Very well done!!

    Have you got Norman Johnston’s GNRI in Colour? That identifies a few, as does Des Coakham’s Irish Broad Gauge Carriages book. One of Mac Arnold’s ‘Golden Years’ also includes a carriage listing which is helpful.

    Dromore ? Possibly Hillsborough. Very nice either way!

    Fab. I do like the DB aesthetic of black, red and green. BR24 is a lovely loco
  24. Galteemore
    That’s lovely neat work. Almost looks like a kit!

    What a treat! some absolute gems there !!
