    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irish-Narrow-Gauge-Colour/dp/1904242138/ref=nodl_ may find some in here.

    Also some interesting BP features in the cab design such as beading and rain strips.
  3. Galteemore
    MM is correct. It’s York Road - can just glimpse the coaling plant between the cab and the dome.

    Aren’t you just gas, Dave! Angus - have looked through my MGWR drawings and can’t see anything. My understanding of Pintsch gas though, is that it was carried in a longitudinal cylinder underneath the carrriage.
  5. Galteemore
    Ah, getting the crude and ugly stuff out of the way first .... Good plan, though. Will look forward to seeing developments.
  6. Galteemore
    This sounds most promising Angus. Nice pic of Sir Henry with original chimney, before acquiring a GN one.
  7. Galteemore
    Indeed it does, although the likeness does not shine through from GNRI locos produced at Gorton. Presumably the other companies allowed BP draughtsmen more leeway in using the house style!
  8. Galteemore
    True, Ernie! Quite a nice family likeness across the island too - from Collooney to Clonakilty to Cultra - significant similarities between some of the designs. This BCDR one, from Mike Morant’s collection, for instance, is very close to SLNC outlines....although with more humane spacing between the rearmost driving wheels!!

    John Harcourt was at TCD around then and will know something! It had long gone by my time there. Nice view of F6 33 too...
  10. Galteemore
    Cracking stuff - the old Larne boat train coaches? Would have loved a trip over Ballyboley Hill in those!!
  11. Galteemore
    Thanks Angus - it was only mock outrage really. Much as I love the SLNC it’s not really up there in the elegance stakes - whereas a Robinson loco could give an SECR 4-4-0 some serious competition. I’d actually spent hours last night analysing SLNC BP drawings....as it happens I was also mulling over a WLW loco myself. Not sure I fancy the task of balancing an 0-4-4T though...
  12. Galteemore
    Angus, this forum is not the place for making inflammatory remarks...... ‘A touch of class in comparison to the SLNC Beyer Peacock tanks’ !!! I think I need a cup of tea now after that .

    Farish did an N class but is getting rather hard to source. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=n+gauge+n+class&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk01KR-BsPuIHX4FCJz0OoF8svISwxQ:1588829708061&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj23-3yg6HpAhWIiFwKHe6LAmIQ_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=375&bih=553#imgrc=xHQstmqbtO03tM Union Mills Models do a Dean Goods in N....image here as they don’t have a website...https://www.hattons.co.uk/422146/union_mills_2460um_gwr_class_2301_deans_goods_0_6_0_2460_in_gwr_green/stockdetail.aspx

    Well said! Wonderful books ....
  15. Galteemore
    Nice work. Is that a Farish Duchess I see?
  16. Galteemore
    This thread is seriously disruptive. I am now imagining how wonderful a model of Ballysodare would be c1905 - with a daily parade of colour including MGWR green and blue, WLWR maroon, and SLNC green/black...

    The Bing loco is clockwork, MM. I’m also suspicious that Spray Tan Fresno has 63 Bing clockwork locos kicking around! Such things rather fun in action though and there are still a number of devotees of coarse scale clockwork and steam operation. Fine scale modelling it is not - but atmosphere in abundance!
  18. Galteemore
    Nice work Noel. Spoked wheels set it off, too. lol Leslie - Richard does the same trick on me with IRRS drawings!
  19. Galteemore
  20. Galteemore
    Big issue is the tapered boiler. Otherwise not far off - esp in N
  21. Galteemore
    Lovely work ! Proper modelling and good use of a classic product.
  22. Galteemore
    Brilliant pics. Dev features large, of course, but also Sean T O’Kelly and Sean Lemass. Thanks for these ! P
  23. Galteemore
    It’s still one of the nicest features of the London Underground, too!
  24. Galteemore
    Excellent sharp work. As you also suggest, building like this actually gives you a real insight into what stuff on the real thing was actually there for!
  25. Galteemore
    The right hand pair are Tans but the rest are, properly speaking, Auxiliaries, who were a different cadre. Note how one is a former RAF pilot. This may even be the man who had a short lived career in the Irish Air Corps until his 1920-21 service record was examined!
