    Lots of delicate work Alan. Agreed though - always easier to cut a hole in a solid cylinder than try to create some open sided structure !

    What’s the loco fireman’s favourite Elvis hit? ‘love me tender’. I’ll get me coat - Teddy boy jacket of course ….

    Might actually be an opportunity to reinstate the old distinction of ‘Enterprise’ trains amongst the normal run of Belfast-Dublin trains.

    Will be fascinating to see what they come up with. Probably not loco-hauled. Something like this? https://www.globalrailwayreview.com/news/115884/hitachi-eversholt-rail-gwr-battery-hybrid-train/

    Probably used to people falling for her all the time.

    Fabulous. Hope Mr Weaver was in the mood for it.

    My son is a daily commuter into London (and is a professional railwayman to boot). He has a choice of routes and opts for these whenever he can above more modern offerings!

    Unlikely I’d say. She’ll be on the Cravens down south and Mk2s up north if she heads there.

    Tippex just refers to the white stripe, so it’s a fairly easy spot! Post 1987 I think. Sorry - posted simultaneously with @WRENNEIRE!

    With a nice cup of tea in hand…..
  11. Galteemore
    That’s fabulous. Well done!!

    Nothing less than £600 for the pair Tony. Are you really sure you want to sell ? These are like hens teeth!
  13. Galteemore
    Is that the one Denis Bates did? I think it even made it on to Adavoyle.

    @Gabhal Luimnigh!!!

    And thanks to Ernie - here is a T2 beyond Clones….

    That’s very smart. Although wasn’t 84 ‘Lissanoure Castle’? The cast plates do look very good.

    216 - the Belmond loco - was on 1900 ex Dublin tonight
  18. Galteemore
    Yes, Skerries loop, R&L. Very nice runs; Dublin-Drogheda-Dundalk-Skerries-Drogheda-Dublin. Agreed, great to see RPSI trains so well supported. .

    Easter Bunny trains for me today, back home from GB for a bit and doing some RPSI fundraising! Absolutely stellar running from 131 and her crew. 171 will have a hard job to beat her…and nice to see both @airfixfanand @jhb171achillin the flesh again…..after thirty years in the latter’s case. I may have taken the chance to take the odd detail pic….

    It’s an OO works CBSCR loco. Now out of production. https://www.ooworks.co.uk/reviews
  21. Galteemore
    Yes, but 90 was designed for passenger work from day 1. 3BG is designed to move loose coupled trucks slowly over small distances…..

    Now that’s very nice. And very useful views of the Poppy jig. I have one for a few projects which will involve 1/8 axles but not used it yet. Good tip re biro spring…..
  23. Galteemore
    Absolutely. For years afterwards, Dublin wags would go to the ticket office in Harcourt St and ask for ‘a single to Hatch St’……
  24. Galteemore
    No expert, but guard iron (normally vertical in front of wheel to sweep debris off track)circled in green. Sandpipe (to put sand on wet rails) in blue
  25. Galteemore
    I think the guard irons and sandpipes might disagree!
