Gorgeous model of a significant and fascinating prototype. For forum members who may not know the story - and the role these locos played in WW2 artillery action - it’s here : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_D3/12

Fabulous. Could easily be Larne Aluminium or Carnlough Limestone
-
What a beautiful little engine. Really captures that dainty Peckett look. The platework has a nice patina about it.
-
I was pretty sure IE and NIR were still in business ?
-
Lovely. What a splendid use of your talents. Those old ‘Nellie’ locos have a real charm. Jim McGeown uses them as basis of his 7mm starter kit….http://www.jimmcgeown.com/Loco Kit Pages/Starter Loco.html

Very nice. Shades of Dave Rowe’s seminal 009 ‘LLareggub’……
-
Excellent. Thats quite the set-up you have
-
Now that’s more like it. Well done !

To Abbey Road via Penny Lane ?

PRE-GROUPING AND GSR COACHES IN THE CIE ERA FOR MODELLERS
Galteemore replied to jhb171achill's topic in General Chat
IRRS Ardnacrusha tour says yes. 1962. I suspect you are only including 4w coaches for completeness, but for the avoidance of doubt, they were not a fixture of the Irish scene within living memory

Her crew are off fishing in the stream, so?
-
Sounds like a plan! Pity that GNR had turned away frombuilding railbuses from then - what an elegant railbus that would have made in GN colours. Image from Sunrise models site
-
Very nice John. The UTA did actually take steps to resolve the buffer issue by fitting large dimension buffers to the rear of the locos, which 27 still carries.
-
Fabulous. One of the most unique Irish models out there. And also, incidentally, a model of the last SLNC rolling stock to work the line under power - 2 years after closure! Photo evidence I recently came across shows 2A, shorn of trailer, apparently helping with lifting work near Manorhamilton in the summer of 1959!

In normal traffic, Hunslets were still used on push-pull within NI as late as 1990
-
Don’t apologise. It’s your layout! Main thing is that you enjoy it. Your loading bank shows you already have a solid skill base to work off

Ernies Massive Irish 1930's to 2005 Photo Archive
Galteemore replied to Glenderg's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Wet day in Co Tyrone ! I suspect the cut down wagon at Clones may be for ballast use. Similar conversions were undertaken further north. -
IIRC that was one of Bob Clements’ pics of an SLNC railbus being re-railed after the incident. Can’t recall exact details but think SL board had to cough up £50 in compensation for the baste.

Clogherhead - A GNR(I) Seaside Terminus
Galteemore replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Very nice. The track scenics are looking attractive and authentic -
It’s the GN royal train of 1903. Also featured in Johnson. Will send you a shot.
-
That’s incredible. What a pretty little engine.
-
No you’re quite right. I prefer the older style myself - that was just the first photo I found!
-
Interesting. The GN seems to have updated the design later with the standard style of Irish van doors and vents placed higher up. Seen here courtesy Ernie. What date is the photo ? I have seen similar associated with the UK 1922 withdrawal.
-
Great stuff Ernie. The ‘Ashburton’ style of station fits very well with Irish prototypes. The late Carl Arendt, maestro of the micro layout, was a fan of such layout designs. Here’s a few ideas …..https://www.carendt.com/micro-layout-design-gallery/passenger-lines/

That looks very good. What might help lift it a little more is to make the top of the bridge a girder, as a stone bridge like that would tend to be arched. https://www.alamy.com/low-railway-bridge-over-country-lane-cultra-county-down-northern-ireland-image4831031.html
