Almost certainly worked by the crossing keeper themselves. Day glo orange on both arms by CIE period. The arms are the same both sides
-
Bog Road, Cork. This what you’re after ? Interlocking is unlikely on the SLNC ones as they are in the middle of a block section anyway. Their slotted posts did last till 1957. SLNC signalling was arcane but effective!
-
Nice finish on the paint, Nelson.
-
By all means! There were enough ‘might have beens’ in the minds of Victorian railway planners to add another. Irish lines frequently exchanged rolling stock, so you could easily ‘cascade’ recognisable locos and wagons etc. There were even a few cases of standard U.K. designs being used (such as the LNW tanks on the DWWR), and the forthcoming CBSC 0-6-0Ts from OO Works. If the track gauge is correct, which you have sorted, and the scenery is right, that’s half the ‘Irish’ side of the picture anyway.

Try Portadown in its 1970s incarnation - or Derry
-
Hadn’t realised until today that there was a diesel powered NG railway there in the early 30s
-
Depends on the water.

And the Sligo van would be quite prototypical. Turf trains ran from Dromahair - the loads were brought in by Leitrim Co Council lorries. The destination was Dundalk via GNR but no reason a few loads could’nt have gone west via Collooney South and the WLWR....

Impressive - as are the books....I always enjoy looking at other libraries !

Early Dieselisation - Continuous run "micro" layout
Galteemore replied to Sean's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Excellent progress. I know that this has been used for a G class conversion in the past...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254048838248 -
There is a Dunsandle on the old Loughrea branch. Check out the book ‘Baronial Lines of the MGWR’ for more. http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway Stations D/Dunsandle/IrishRailwayStations.html

Early Dieselisation - Continuous run "micro" layout
Galteemore replied to Sean's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Very nice indeed Sean. That little 0-4-0 tank is a good find - the chassis in those often runs like a Scalectrix car! Have you thought of buying a spare body to experiment on? If you cut out the boiler and put in a plain tube, built a new cab and rounded off the tanks, you could have a GSWR might have been. To complete the illusion, put in a spilt smokebox door..... -
That looks very good indeed - nicely observed and reproduced. A regular sight in my childhood so very nice to see! I am just old enough to have appreciated the last years of the Larne Line as an old school railway with semaphore signals and classic 70 class traction. Larne Harbour cabin - gone but not forgotten - great effort here.
-
Sounds correct Ernie. That was certainly the case with the loco chimneys - old photos show a different version. By the 50s all had acquired GN chimneys.
-
Mid 20s would be my guess, Brack. There is a picture of ‘Enniskillen’ at Sligo with the new door but with lettering on the tank sides. That lettering had all gone by 1930 so the flush doors seem to have come in during the 20s.
-
Look good to me. Memories of the sidings at York Road in the 80s.....next to the odd Metrovick and the steam crane....

Sorry to hear that Brack ! Looks good so far. Lough Gill is an interesting one - last one of the trio to keep the smokebox lubricators. Here’s some I took last year of Lough Erne....
-
Lovely, Mayner. Gap in the market beautifully filled. A 7mm version which could take 36.75mm wheelsets would be very welcome and just what I’m after....
-
It depends ! Read the descriptions carefully. Most tend to cover a range of vehicles in that particular class of stock eg GNR 6 wheelers. The GSWR inspection saloon is the only carriage that seems to have a book to itself.

Great stuff Ernie! In the Sprinks photo album there is a very useful shot of Enniskillen, taken from the rear inside Manorhamilton works. Most helpful in stuff like bunker detail etc...

Tell us more, Colin! Roger’s kits are great. I’ve used rolling stock and building kits from him quite successfully. You asked a question elsewhere re drawings of the Sir Henry class. I have the same set as Brack - purchased from the IRRS. They are part of the ‘Haynes manual’ supplied to Manorhamilton works by BP when the class was delivered. The collection published by the IRRS is not a reproduction of the entire set but more than enough to make a model with.
-
Very nice! Reminds me of the old Back Line from Greenisland to Monkstown...
-
They were fairly common on the Big Island, certainly at large MPDs, but I’m not sure how many Hibernian examples there were. This is A1 ‘Marmion’ - c1949 (she was named in 1950) at Grantham. I think @David Holman is an ECML fan and may have more info than I....

end on detail drawings of locos and rolling stock
Galteemore replied to Colin R's topic in General Chat
Colin- Tim Cramer’s article on building the D19 - class 2 - has an end on view which may be useful for building the similar D17 - class 52. David
