    The next issue of ‘New Irish Lines’ will have a short piece on what I think was his very last Irish SG etch. Shame to see him close down

    Achingly slow progress on 558 - awaiting the right buffers. Did manage a trial fit of some parts tonight ….note such 558 unique features as the brace across the tanks near the dome, the extended bunker, and the extra rail on the smokebox door.

    Fab work Alan. For my PP - and other builds- I use a wood block, custom fit for each model, to help keep it all supported.

    Not quite a pay train but similar / this little account gives some glimpses of life onboard such a contraption https://svsfilm.com/nineelms/bug.htm

    That’s just delightful. Really captures the look of those things.

    This is fabulous. Just getting on with something and making a model - old school stuff we don’t see enough of

    Fab Ernie. The detail shot of 552 is most useful!

    Actually more likely to be c1950. That’s certainly when it was on the Irish North. Didn’t know it was on Derry Road - wonder if its frames were up to it! Had same sort of power as a Q.

    Interesting. Saffron is the kilt colour worn by Irish military pipers - both Defence Forces and British army carry on the tradition. With olive green above!

    My mistake -sorry and you’re quite right. I believe I was demonstrating what researchers call ‘confirmation bias’
  11. Galteemore
    Excellent. Presumably the GN loco is the MaK - rather than a VS!!

    Be careful. It’s full of enticing things - you’ll never leave ! I still cannot understand why I never went during the three years we lived in Dublin….

    Fabulous views of 800s in action, not to mention 400s and any number of fine 4-4-0s. Really nice capture of Ireland on the eve of dieselisation

    They are big. We had a Gauge 3 loco on display at home when I was a kid. LBSC Southern Maid, like this but painted red. I remember being fascinated by the mechanical lubricator

    That’s such a shame Alan! Frustrating thing to fix but if anyone can find a way….
  16. Galteemore
    Excellent work all round. Photos are great - got to model that loose boiler cladding !
  17. Galteemore
    Excellent. What a great project !
  18. Galteemore
    That’s such a shame. It was a really nice news story. Hope things pick up for him
  19. Galteemore
    That’s a lovely story. I take it that another cousin presented you with a ‘My Little Pony’ set ?
  20. Galteemore
    Think so. It seems to have had some late career TLC

    Steam railcars

    One of the Sentinels ended its days on the SLNC. A bogie was used as a luggage trailer for Railbus A!

    Interesting stuff @Mol_PMBand @Horsetan thanks. Just realised that from photographs of 558 I may only need to bother with tank side numbers as by late 50s she had no buffer beam nos!
  23. Galteemore
    The J26 looks fabulous Alan. Look forward to seeing how Kieran finishes it off and what number it is. Inspired me to crack on with mine last night !
  24. Galteemore
    Yes I wouldn’t be at all surprised if two burly RIC men travelled along!
  25. Galteemore
    That’s looking fabulous
