    No need! This was perhaps one of the most well appointed coaches on the NG in these islands. Corridor stock so no compartments. Also had electric lights and a toilet IIRC.

    Lovely JHB! Make sure you’re finished in time to catch the 7:20 back from EKN - I heard that the bogie passenger coach No 9 was worked back on the mid-morning goods from Sligo so it’s guaranteed to be steam tonight !

    It’s 1954 and we’re just waiting for the Sligo mail to leave....beautiful

    Beautiful - what a little jewel that is.

    My dad thinks it may be a working over the Meath Road during the Tolka Bridge episode when the GNR main line was temporarily disrupted.

    Worth a look - he’s got a Leinster models ‘Maedbh’ amongst other things. I bought a coach kit in an earlier auction and he refunded some postage which was rather decent. Must have been some collection - he seems to have had at least one of everything produced by Alphagraphix and North Star!

    Thanks Angus. It’s my first attempt at building a passenger coach so happy enough so far. It’s based on an Alphagraphix kit as the drawing source.

    After the fiddly work of gluing sides together and making footboards, the paint is making an appearance....rolling part of chassis is masked off as it’s black already. Halfords red primer for now.

    Another MGWR masterpiece, David! Taking shape nicely

    Thanks Ken. Good masterclass on the work involved in bringing an etch to life.

    Very nice work Noel.

    Any scratch builders who like narrow gauge drawings, here’s a few nice ones..https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAVID-LLOYD-IRISH-NARROW-GAUGE-LOCOMOTIVES-SCALE-DRAWINGS-RAILWAY-MODELLER/133432096047?hash=item1f112c352f:g:Jz4AAOSwzMFe3PTq.

    Certainly for the 800, could have been a delightful fusion of Art Deco and classic Celtic motifs.....

    As you know, it was as much about kudos as speed! Here’s a B17 that got the A4 treatment with no real operational justification ...

    What an epoch that was in the USA, especially with the Art Deco Dreyfuss styling on the NYC....https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Limited

    In terms of rail journeys, this would be some crack - the Khyber Pass...

    The address is incomplete though, OB - it’s White Horse House on Battlefield Road!

    Good progress, Leslie. Nice to see an SLNC van - Manorhamilton button factory exporting to the drapers of Portadown?

    Although it looks like Rosses Point won’t make its exhibition debut due to You Know What, I did toy with the idea of wafting turf smoke out if it with such a device to enhance the experience for the English audience...

    There was a picture on the front of a Model Rail Constructor or some equivalent magazine circa 1976 which showed Drew with one of his tools - a Meccano based rivet press IIRC.

    Liked it so much I picked up my own copy a few months ago. The bookseller knocked a few quid off as...’it’s falling to bits’!
  24. Galteemore
    Bit more progress on No 4. The ‘box’ that comprises the main structure (the panelled sides will be stuck on as an overlay) is done, as is the chassis. Last year I built a TPO which went ok but I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the finish. And its running gear involves some £30 worth of brass and steel - it needs to earn its keep! So last night the TPO was grounded and the rolling chassis (compensated Alphagraphix) transferred over. I also had to cannibalise the brake gear a bit as SLNC coaches only had brakes on the middle wheels and one end...
  25. Galteemore
    Interesting and fine work Ken. Those rear tabs on the bunker look useful for locating the steps - that’s a trick Alphagraphix use with some of their tank locos.
