    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;)

    Know what you mean about nerves. But this is just great - well done!

    If Redemptorists, of course, they have simply redeemed it and not stolen it…..

    Excellent. Can just see a grubby UG with CIE stencilled on buffer beam fussing with a few vans….

    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

    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.

    Great to see. Those marvellous buildings of yours deserve display on a bigger canvas - glad they are getting it!

    Thanks Ernie. I have a colour photo of the same movement at Enniskillen, taken a few seconds earlier, by Lance King, in a frame on the wall.

    Thanks for the report David. Went last year and it’s a great show. Always good to wander the stalls and see what’s there. Sad to see Hobby Holidays are absent nowadays.

    That’s a relief. Was worried about angling after your help.

    Now that’s great imaginative work. Can really see this design style working with an 071 ….

    Thanks Patrick. I’m always trawling for good techniques like this.

    Are you fishing for compliments? Does look better. How did you paint the stone so well ?
  18. Galteemore
    Big fish in a small pond, was it? Looks good ‘scaled’ back a bit. Net result is great.
  19. Galteemore
    Sorry Patrick. You lure us in and get us hooked.
  20. Galteemore
    So is this a plaice of worship then ?
  21. Galteemore
    These are exquisite. Lovely little scene at LQ too.

    The Japanese C62 - 3’6” - has been timed at 80mph….holds the official NG steam record AFAIK. If Drumboe’s restoration proceeds apace it may still be up for challenge
  23. Galteemore
    If the passengers are that desperate at least the Clogherhead toilets are functioning. These are looking fabulous.
  24. Galteemore
    Fabulous David. This is the bit I hate most in a loco scratch build - lots of precision work and hard sawing. But it’s worth it when that chassis rolls, as this will soon.

    Not sure if this image posted online suggests any insights….if the tank inner follows the frame profile I’d suggest straight sides, but with tank tops extended to meet the boiler cladding. The tank fillers are certainly outboard of the frame lines.
