    Not my scale, not my era, not my thing, but these are terrific and ideal way for people to dip their toe into doing some modelling for themselves. Great work!!

    Colin - it’s probably just as easy to build an SSM kit to 21mm gauge as try to fiddle with an OO gauge model, and creating an extra 4.5mm of clearance within the body shell. At least one of the drawings you are after will be inModel Railway Constructor, early 70s - Tim Cramer’s J26. Roger Crombleholme has main outline drawings of J18 and G2.

    Tasty !! I’m building the same chassis arrangement right now, which has floating axles at each end. No easy solution with such things….

    J26 or J18

    Fabulous Alan. The public need to see layouts of this quality!!

    Lovely. Unusual to see a Jeep at Cloghan NOT on a spoil train. Galteemore senior senior btw, sourced the blue paint that Guinness sports…..

    Not a million miles off SLNCR railcar B!!

    1875 plan allowed for a Bundoran-Sligo railway. This was abandoned in 1878 when the SLNC was authorised instead.

    As a member of the Gauge O Guild, I have read some of the on-the-ground comments from the group concerned. The miscreants seem to have been frustrated burglars in search of cash. They made off with about £30 and two old vacuum cleaners…..

    Incredible bargains. You can buy an O gauge steam loco for less than the price of a 4 wheel o gauge van!

    Make them work on the IRM ‘delivery updates for new model releases’ enquiry team……

    Ken McElhinney RIP

    Such sad news. Never met Ken but his modelling- and approach to it - were inspiring. Combined talent with humility.

    It is available in 4mm. All you do is nicely ask Roger to rescale it.
  14. Galteemore
    Indeed it was. Closeup courtesy of Ernie….

    Fabulous. Note the railbus propped up at Goraghwood
  16. Galteemore
    Worth swinging past your stall at the next Bray event then ?

    That might help. I had exact scale rods made for my Large Tank but couldn’t use them as the wheel flanges were touching so had to make up my own, making the gap between the back wheels a scale inch or so larger, and shortening the gap between the front wheels by the same amount to preserve the overall wheelbase dimensions. It still looks pretty tight even so !

    That had mostly disappeared by the end, Colin. By the 1950s it was mostly 75-85lb rail. I have used code 100 FB in 7mm to replicate it.
  19. Galteemore
    @Paul 34F may know about drawings. The IRRS certainly have the Large Tank drawings, which are effectively the same - just changes to cab and tank profiles mainly. Kirley on RM Web has built a 4mm version with Tony Ragg’s help - they may be able to rerun the etches for you. The MR Flatiron is a possibility but the distinctive wheel spacing is all wrong - only real way to capture it is scratch build.

    Yes, what a layout it’s been - an ideal and convincing background for all the delightful new releases over the past decade. From experience, I know that modelling in a short-term rental takes a different form but is possible - maybe a micro layout or two to keep things on the boil? Have a look at Ian Holmes’ Micro Model Railway Dispatch newsletter. I can’t paste links for some reason but easily findable via your favours search engine.
  21. Galteemore
    Thanks Ernie. V useful view of 91
  22. Galteemore
    Just wow. What a piece of workmanship! Great idea to make it multi-use, too. Will hopefully have a chance to see it on show soon.
  23. Galteemore
    Suitable for my level of modelling then He’s a 3D print specialist who is making me a long version which overcomes the Alphagraphix long buffer issue…..they may not be sophisticated but they work and are dead easy to fit. Painted gunmetal and gunge I think they will be relatively inoffensive.
  24. Galteemore
    Well spotted!! Even includes OO Works locos and RPSI stock….
  25. Galteemore
    Sorry to hear that Bob - it’s really not easy!
