    What do you mean ‘was’?

    Thanks Ernie - as you’ll see I had edited the post while you were typing after I checked my library ! I’ll stick to commenting on SLNC pics!!

    Looks almost Dublin main line with the boats, but apparently it’s the Foyle viaduct rather than the more commonly pictured Mourne one. Lough Gill is always easy to identify in later pics as it was only Large Tank to keep smokebox lubricators into 50s.

    Very nice. Being a parallel boiler, too, the Fowler tank is an ideal starting point for an NCC/UTA/NIR WT class……

    Ernie / I can’t log in to Flickr to comment right now but your mystery toilet is Victoria Sq, Belfast.

    A small commission job. Paint and assemble an 009 tram loco…details added include real coal and glazing. I’m glad I’m normally working in 7mm ….bit small for me !
  7. Galteemore
    fabulous. IIRC @David Holman has made one of those crates
  8. Galteemore
    Excellent. Will look great with a 70s era CIE freight coming under that bridge. Just needs a battered old car with a red rear numberplate sitting around somewhere !
  9. Galteemore
    Excellent. Looks like a 3C possibly ~ which was produced late 60s on.

    He also knew Peter Denny - and had operated that famous cleric’s Buckingham layout https://m.facebook.com/BBCArchive/videos/1980-small-world-model-railways/1173056213553316/ prayers for his family at this time

    Always thought that W and T loco looked like a Hornby clockwork one! The coach is an MGWR hearse van, which had a ‘coffin turntable’ inside. Adavoyle station most interesting- signal lever frame was located in a front room of the house. Quite what js being signalled here is rather puzzling, unless the signal beyond the bridge has been placed on that side of the line for sighting purposes.

    Lovely work Alan. Almost looks like 6 separate etches to be cut off….suggests to me some kind of strapping to be located near each wheel set - possibly on solebars? A careful study of prototype pics may reveal the answer….sadly I’m nowhere near my Coakham books.

    These IRRS books are fab. I have several of the SLNC ones. Invaluable for anyone seriously modelling MGW/GS/CIE given the longevity and wide distribution of these coaches
  14. Galteemore
    Thanks Ernie. Probably 1115 goods ex Sligo. Note the carriage tacked on at the end. This means that the 7:20 ex Enniskillen would be steam worked that evening. If the 1115 didn’t run, then the 7:20 would be railbus worked.
  15. Galteemore
    Wonderful. Looks well and should run well too - will float along on those springs.
  16. Galteemore
    Indeed it could. It’s actually better than the photo he took just a few minutes later or earlier which features in this book. The engine is clearly in fine fettle, ready for the hard climb up Kilmakerrill summit. When this pic was taken - May 57 - Enniskillen was the most recently shopped SLNC loco and the most mechanically sound loco in the fleet.
  17. Galteemore
    Indeed he does. Thank you ! Fabulous pic
  18. Galteemore
    Delightful. Windows are exquisite
  19. Galteemore
    They do take a long time!!
  20. Galteemore
    Got a copy and thoroughly recommend-some v useful drawings for modellers
  21. Galteemore
    EBay can be good. Other suppliers include Metalsmith and Squires. About 15 thou thickness will do a lot of modelling needs.
  22. Galteemore
    I also use Roger’s chassis and that’s right. The wires are soldered solid at one end only. This allows both alignment and flex as necessary. Good little system. I even took it off one coach when scrapping it and it was robust enough to fit to a new build. The old coach incidentally, an MGWR mail van, was donated to an English modeller who turned it into a mess room! You can still see the mail bags through the window….
  23. Galteemore
    Nice clean work thus far. How will you arrange the wheels in terms of movement - is centre axle sliding ?
  24. Galteemore
    Glad all went well. Really hope I can see this layout for real soon - love the atmosphere and always good to see Sir Henry making an appearance. Know what you mean about the uniform - can’t imagine what it must have been like fighting in NW Europe in that gear in either heat or damp - can’t imagine it dries quickly. I’m quite happy to keep my historical re-enactment to 1/43 scale!
  25. Galteemore
    Excellent stuff. For a small stone built station, try Florencecourt. Alphagraphix do a kit - just ensure you get 4mm scale one http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway Stations F/Florencecourt/IrishRailwayStations.html#Florencecourt_20060620_002_CC_JA.jpg
