Nice clean work thus far. How will you arrange the wheels in terms of movement - is centre axle sliding ?
-
Glad all went well. Really hope I can see this layout for real soon - love the atmosphere and always good to see Sir Henry making an appearance. Know what you mean about the uniform - can’t imagine what it must have been like fighting in NW Europe in that gear in either heat or damp - can’t imagine it dries quickly. I’m quite happy to keep my historical re-enactment to 1/43 scale!

Excellent stuff. For a small stone built station, try Florencecourt. Alphagraphix do a kit - just ensure you get 4mm scale one http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway Stations F/Florencecourt/IrishRailwayStations.html#Florencecourt_20060620_002_CC_JA.jpg

Gorgeous model of a significant and fascinating prototype. For forum members who may not know the story - and the role these locos played in WW2 artillery action - it’s here : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_D3/12

Fabulous. Could easily be Larne Aluminium or Carnlough Limestone
-
What a beautiful little engine. Really captures that dainty Peckett look. The platework has a nice patina about it.
-
I was pretty sure IE and NIR were still in business ?
-
Lovely. What a splendid use of your talents. Those old ‘Nellie’ locos have a real charm. Jim McGeown uses them as basis of his 7mm starter kit….http://www.jimmcgeown.com/Loco Kit Pages/Starter Loco.html

Very nice. Shades of Dave Rowe’s seminal 009 ‘LLareggub’……
-
Excellent. Thats quite the set-up you have
-
Now that’s more like it. Well done !

To Abbey Road via Penny Lane ?

PRE-GROUPING AND GSR COACHES IN THE CIE ERA FOR MODELLERS
Galteemore replied to jhb171achill's topic in General Chat
IRRS Ardnacrusha tour says yes. 1962. I suspect you are only including 4w coaches for completeness, but for the avoidance of doubt, they were not a fixture of the Irish scene within living memory

Her crew are off fishing in the stream, so?
-
Sounds like a plan! Pity that GNR had turned away frombuilding railbuses from then - what an elegant railbus that would have made in GN colours. Image from Sunrise models site
-
Very nice John. The UTA did actually take steps to resolve the buffer issue by fitting large dimension buffers to the rear of the locos, which 27 still carries.
-
Fabulous. One of the most unique Irish models out there. And also, incidentally, a model of the last SLNC rolling stock to work the line under power - 2 years after closure! Photo evidence I recently came across shows 2A, shorn of trailer, apparently helping with lifting work near Manorhamilton in the summer of 1959!
-
In normal traffic, Hunslets were still used on push-pull within NI as late as 1990
-
Don’t apologise. It’s your layout! Main thing is that you enjoy it. Your loading bank shows you already have a solid skill base to work off

Ernies Massive Irish 1930's to 2005 Photo Archive
Galteemore replied to Glenderg's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Wet day in Co Tyrone ! I suspect the cut down wagon at Clones may be for ballast use. Similar conversions were undertaken further north. -
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.

Clogherhead - A GNR(I) Seaside Terminus
Galteemore replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Irish Model Layouts
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.
-
That’s incredible. What a pretty little engine.
-
No you’re quite right. I prefer the older style myself - that was just the first photo I found!
