    Ahem…..Lough Erne is a main line loco…the SLNC had no branches

    And BCDR 30 worked the County Down branches….what IS true is that 90 is the only true branch line loco likely to steam in preservation.

    Lovely work on the coach David. Real Swilly lines about it. As for the Barclay, if anyone can find a way, you will ! That 7mm scale ruler is a fab tool, isn’t it?

    Lovely convincing scene. Just need to get ModelU to produce a figure of the young @jhb171achillin flares taking a photo……

    And here it is…just bought one of his other kits as I can’t justify this one running in Leitrim!

    Well done - looks great. My eyes tend to glaze over doing work like that
  7. Galteemore
    Ok. It’s the track then. If you can abolish that s bend then do so - most stock hates alignments like that.

    Great news Bob - you know it makes sense! Happy to pop over some day and compare notes again…..

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

    Air Corps Casa should sort it….images from https://www.key.aero/article/inside-irish-air-corps-casa-cn-235-maritime-patrol-aircraft

    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!
  15. Galteemore
    Fabulous. You could sell those, you know….
  16. Galteemore
    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….
  19. Galteemore
    Sounds like a mixed day David! Two tanks undergoing a service right now…..
  20. Galteemore
    I’m not in the area but coming anyway - have two elderly locos who want to see their friends !
  21. Galteemore
    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.
