    Very nice. About 30 years ago my brother and I converted a pair to 32mm gauge and repainted them GSR crimson. They have battery powered internal lights IIRC.

    That’s fabulous work David, and I know exactly what you mean in the catalogue of woes! This is shaping up beautifully- can already imagine that glossy dark green…..

    You jest but this bloke beats any DCC steam sound I have ever heard - hands down! https://www.macearchive.org/films/atv-today-08051978-railway-vicar

    I bet I know what your bedtime reading is for him JB…..

    Looks like 1115 goods ex Sligo. I think Lance took another pic a few minutes later of the train crossing with 2pm ex Enniskillen goods at Glenfarne station.

    Yes, Mousa is Bill himself (the website is named after a Scottish island). Andrew of Wizard Models is like a clearing house of other manufacturers’ kits, and holds a number of otherwise defunct ranges eg the late Dave Cleal’s Mainly Trains stock.

    No, Wizard is someone else, JB….Andrew Hartshorne.

    I think your point still stands though - Carson was last of Cabinet rank. Sir James Craig had a senior position at Ministry of Pensions c1919 but was not of Cabinet rank.

    The last NI MP, arguably, to have the access required was Knox Cunningham, who was Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan 1959-63.

    The Aldergrove one is especially delightful with the loco crew and guard so obviously posing! The top one looks like Central Junction - the fully coaled engine on left having run in from Adelaide is presumably waiting for the road to back on to its train at Gt Victoria St.

    Excellent- we don’t see anywhere near enough of your work, Popeye

    If 15 Aug that’s almost certainly Ancient Order of Hibernians parade traffic

    Could be. The main company name was GA Brittain in Portobello - I used to pass it when walking from Rathgar to Trinity
  15. Galteemore
    Leslie - I thought so too but it is actually an S class shunting cars at Strabane!

    Quite possibly, dependent upon tariff deals at the time. Post WW2, Morris motors built a sub-plant in Dublin to re-assemble CKD Minors. CKD stood for ‘completely knocked down’. Each car basically arrived from GB as a kit and was reassembled in Eire. This got around the tariff on importing brand new - assembled - cars. Cross-border export would have varied, I suspect, as to how high tariffs were. Late 1930s were the worst I think for imposed duties.

    If the SLNCR could carry cars - and did - I’m sure Dugort will find a way….

    Pretty spectacular work David. Frustrating re gearbox but reassuring that chassis rolls. Once that hurdle is crossed the rest is just detailing;)
  19. Galteemore
    Know what you mean about nerves. But this is just great - well done!
  20. Galteemore
    If Redemptorists, of course, they have simply redeemed it and not stolen it…..
  21. Galteemore
    Excellent. Can just see a grubby UG with CIE stencilled on buffer beam fussing with a few vans….
  22. Galteemore
    Amazing how that affects the scene. Really adds even more depth and body to what’s already a very splendid structure. Signature details such as the laser cut dagger boards really are worth doing properly as they have such an impact on the overall impression.

    915mm above rail height is standard for new construction
  24. Galteemore
    DCC ready - 4 pin socket

    Loads you can do with an old 08 painted green or a cheap Hornby 0-4-0 diesel painted up. Triang 3F with a smokebox door wheel and flying snail on tender will look passable. Scenery can be made Irish very easily with Alphagraphix card kits.
