    Taken side by side with Lance King. Lovely snap!

    Accurate CIÉ Commonwealth bogies, with separate detailing where appropriate, that allows for the option of re-gauging to Irish Broad Gauge (21mm). Brake blocks aligned with wheels, allowing for the option of moving outwards for Irish Broad Gauge.

    Lovely work. You’d almost swear it was a kit. My scratch building generally ends up with rhomboids, trapeziums,and ovals!

    Classic stuff Ernie. Always loved those outside- framed bogies which gave such a distinctive appearance. The boiler is too big and the drivers are too small to make it a truly elegant loco but there’s something so endearing about it!

    Amounts to same thing nowadays, except you have a better chance of winning the Lottery!

    I think ‘reputation’ is based on the number of positive reactions given to one’s posts.

    Nice neat work on the cab. GW rolling bars ? Good tool.

    Great day out at Welwyn today - thanks David ! Nice to meet Maggie’s goat too..

    I’m just impressed by your integrity. Not a single one double-dinged.

    I’ll try my best David !

    Looks a bit like Ballymena for the A1

    Very nice Patrick. How do you do those classic GN windows?

    Found I have a copy. Fascinating stuff. Had no idea that they paused lifting the BCDR main in 55/56 to go off and lift the Derry Central, then bring the demolition train back to Down again….

    Delightful model. The weathering is top notch. Beautiful patina.
  15. Galteemore
    Lovely. That 009 stock is delightful.

    I found this too, David, and apparently it’s a steam heating pipe (there is a flexible rubber end at the right I believe). I also added lamp irons and coupling chains to the buffer beam. Agree about the handrails etc - I ended up filling in lots of holes on the kit to backdate it! The fiddliest bit was soldering brass numerals on the the sandboxes. Should have just glued them…..

    I can thoroughly recommend the IRRS drawings , having built a loco from scratch with their aid. The electronic version is especially useful as you can zoom in without distortion to check oeaticular measurements.

    Putting the camera in Drumboe’s cab did give a nice little segment of footage near Cloghan Point. Could almost have been the Barnesmore Gap but for the sea!

    Sorry I missed you Patrick - had a flying visit on Sat am! Great show with lots to see.

    That’s hilarious. I’m sitting about 5 minutes away from that very route right now! Although LT have now surrendered to Arriva in these parts, the route was, I think, originally a feeder to the Met line at Chesham.

    Excellent David. Most useful tutorial which will hopefully encourage others to have a go! It’s a great little kit and an ideal intro to Irish 7mm.
  23. Galteemore
    That was only used for transferring wagons via rope haulage and turntables afaik, rather than being a proper loco-worked line.
  24. Galteemore
    Strictly speaking, wasn’t Carrignagat to Ballisodare two parallel lines rather than true double track ?
  25. Galteemore
    Wonderful. Once you get a rolling chassis, the rest is comparatively straightforward
