Is it same wagon every time or do they all do that ?

Always nice to see the Sligo Leitrim being used to argue a point……Liatroim bua arís!

Fab! Showed this to my dad who was a regular on GN main in these days. He pointed out the loaded loco coal wagons bound for Portadown shed.

Bob, to assist your friend, I called by Manorhamilton PW dept and had a look at their jigs. Sleepers are 9’ long and spacing is 2’6 centres (closer at each end of a track panel). As you can see, corporate identity is important in my workshop. Even my lanyard for my ID at work hasn’t escaped….

Fabulous DJ. The A class and Jinty did work Belfast docks at same time in the 50s - nice to see them together again. As you have the only model of an A class in the world (AFAIK), this is a unique assemblage!

Fabulous. You could sell those, you know….

Thanks DJ - glad she made the trip. Although I think front buffer beam may need a tweak, all else seems intact!!

Fabulous stuff Ernie. As you’ll see on David Holman’s thread, ‘Enniskillen’ was out and about today in Sussex!

Fabulous day on NPQ - thanks David! My locos sternly rebuked for sticking bogie wheels….wonderful to see largest gathering of Sligo tanks since 57 and run my 7:20 stock into NPQ….

Sounds like a mixed day David! Two tanks undergoing a service right now…..

I’m not in the area but coming anyway - have two elderly locos who want to see their friends !

Just something about O gauge isn’t there?!

I still recall the grammatical advice that our university lecturer handed out in the 80s - he was the son of a Polish army officer and had been educated in a secret Warsaw school during the Nazi years. Spoke and wrote English with precision! And it’s native speakers who use ‘draw’ when they mean ‘drawer’ and ‘brought’ when they mean ‘bought’. And as for ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’…….

Fab. F6 is 42, and almost certainly at Inchicore.

Excellent - Brant’s layouts are little gems. IIRC he travels to shows by public transport hence the reduced dimensions. See also ‘Littleton Curve’ You may also wish to check out the ‘Kidmore’ series of layouts, by David Mitchell, and especially his tribute to Brant- Kidmore Magna https://kidmorengauge.weebly.com/kidmore-magna-n.html

Thought things were a bit quiet down in Laharna! Great to see you back David - lovely work.

My ‘dream layout’ has shrunk in size as I’ve got older, much as I used to ogle the CJ Freezer mammoth plans of long ago. My long term ideal would be Glenfarne (top pic) or Dromahair (lower pic) c1950, so nothing too complex. But fully signalled and with block instruments linked to fiddle yards at ‘Manorhamilton’ and ‘Belcoo’. Lots of scope for operating the full SLNC timetable with the odd cattle special. I’m not really an operator and prefer building stock but it would be a nice test bed for running what I build. Small station as it is, it would still need a biggish shed in 7mm!

That’s serious marking out David - piece of art in its own right! Been busy with Jenkinson myself of late and reminding myself of how to shape a turnunder. Gorgeous shots of Hazelwood.

Innisfree is of course, in Lough Gill. Firmly in SLNC territory…..even named an engine after it…… I knew you’d come over to the dark side in the end …..;)

Excellent Bob. Take it the layout is called ‘Innisfree’?

Excellent. Nice to see how some proprietary items have been suitably adapted - great work.

Ask Roger and you’ll find out! https://www.alphagraphixkits.co.uk/

This is about as close as you might get ….much work required though ……https://railsofsheffield.com/products/pre-owned-l-yr-2-4-2-tank-50636-br-black-early-emblem-steam-locomotive?variant=41777301946559&currency=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjw4P6oBhBsEiwAKYVkq2tM49KNzLKrl9yZGL6gVEtfyb0ELTejB7LL7xxb50TTUhP7vj-LdhoC6rIQAvD_BwE

Excellent stuff. Really looking forward to seeing this. Better do some wheel cleaning so my tanks don’t disgrace themselves !!!
