  1. And Norman Foster taking photos…
  2. Looks good. Know what you mean. I’d be terrified about weathering really nice models like that. At least with when it comes to my own scratchbuilds and weathering I know what faults need concealed!
  3. Most enjoyable trip to see Bruckless today - bumped into @leslie10646which is always a bonus! Great to meet @Andy Cundick and get a guided tour of Donegal stock over the decades! Thanks for all your patient explanations to my questions Andy! Not to mention the impromptu railcar parade Exquisite stock and a lovely background against which to view it all. See it if you can !
  4. That’s incredible. One of the most difficult Irish locos to model given the paucity of footplate.
  5. The tram crossing the Bridge looks like a Chamberlain car, delivered c1928-30. So possibly early 30s. Definitely pre-war.
  6. That’s reassuring. Roger Crombleholme, who bought a standard gauge loco for preservation in 1965, is also still actively designing Irish kits
  7. That’s the model of King George V you’re about to build….
  8. Not a dry eye in the house. Lovely
  9. Fabulous work. And if the chassis runs as well as that - everything else is just window dressing!
  10. And don’t forget the curator of Lisburn Museum’s folk artefacts - Herr Loom.
  11. Is this simply a CBSC problem or have similar issues emerged with other OO works locos?
  12. Looks good. Has some good potential. I wouldn’t bother adding more track to be honest. On a small layout, it’s tempting to cram in too much track. Sometimes less is more! If anything I’d feed that siding to building 5 off the loop to make it easier to work.
  13. I think he’s referring to the working life of the model on this occasion….based on previous posts….is that correct @Westcorkrailway?
  14. 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 !
  15. What’s the loco fireman’s favourite Elvis hit? ‘love me tender’. I’ll get me coat - Teddy boy jacket of course ….
  16. Might actually be an opportunity to reinstate the old distinction of ‘Enterprise’ trains amongst the normal run of Belfast-Dublin trains.
  17. 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/
  18. Probably used to people falling for her all the time.
  19. Fabulous. Hope Mr Weaver was in the mood for it.
  20. 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!
  21. Unlikely I’d say. She’ll be on the Cravens down south and Mk2s up north if she heads there.
  22. Tippex just refers to the white stripe, so it’s a fairly easy spot! Post 1987 I think. Sorry - posted simultaneously with @WRENNEIRE!
  23. With a nice cup of tea in hand…..
  24. That’s fabulous. Well done!!
  25. Nothing less than £600 for the pair Tony. Are you really sure you want to sell ? These are like hens teeth!
