    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.

    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.
  4. Galteemore
    That’s incredible. What a pretty little engine.
  5. Galteemore
    No you’re quite right. I prefer the older style myself - that was just the first photo I found!
  6. Galteemore
    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

    Yes, and would make for an interesting experience on small radius trackwork…..
  10. Galteemore
    It’s being punished like Henry the Green Engine…..
  11. Galteemore
    Very nice. This one is about 20 minutes away from me since moving house last week - popped in to see it on Wed night…..
  12. Galteemore
    Yes, please. Bob’s models are an incredible resource for this forum, and anything that helps modellers raise their game is to be encouraged. By seeing how such locos are put together, it certainly helps those scratchbuilders who, like me, are still learning the trade !

    Sometimes, as Lady Macbeth says, you have to screw your courage to the sticking place…..has really paid off here: excellent result and very J H Ahern.
  14. Galteemore
    Makes you wonder what GN tanks would have looked like in blue…..

    A very fine example in clockwork was built by Drew Donaldson for shunting on his system. Thankfully immortalised in print - and in a case at Cultra. At least Bob painted his the right colour unlike Drew’s CIE green! Text from Gauge O Guild archive. The article is revealing both as to Drew’s methods and his writing style.

    Lovely! One of my favourite Irish locos.
  17. Galteemore
    Classic - style of layout I recall with affection from old ‘Railway Modeller’ magazines.
  18. Galteemore
    Excellent- always thought Ballysodare would be a great model. MGW, WLW and SLNC traffic all passing through.
  19. Galteemore
    I’ll PM you details Alan
  20. Galteemore
    Have you tried Laurie Griffin or ScaleFactor, Alan ? They may have a pattern part. Smallbrook Studios do similar chimneys on their NG kits, and may be able to help.

    Great stuff. Having grown up a few miles from the remains of Antrim’s NG lines, I do like the IOM as a taste of what it must have been like
  23. Galteemore
    Hope recovery is quick! That’s a lovely live action shot of 4.
  24. Galteemore
    With the radius I’d need for a 36.75mm gauge oval, if looking at 1930s vehicle storage facilities, you’d need a Spitfire hanger rather than a garage!
  25. Galteemore
    Those little Austins are lovely. Just moved into a 1939 house today with an internal garage - built just for such a vehicle!
