    Agreed, Angus. Just to avoid derailing your thread, have you seen J J Smith’s photos of Dromahair? Searchable through the Bluebell museum photo archive. There are some gems…..

    Thanks Angus - that’s really helpful. Sadly I haven’t space for a 7mm Abohill really never mind Dromahair! I have, however, been doing a lot of hard thinking of late, and trying to come up with a modelling proposal that is both sustainable and interesting for me to pursue long term….something will hopefully break cover soon…..it will be SLNC though, that I promise you!

    Angus - just a quick question- what length did you identify the Dromahair platform as, please? Just scoping out an idea….
  4. Galteemore
    That’s more in the line of Manorhamilton works!
  5. Galteemore
    Looks like a successful overnight possession!

    Interesting to see 27 at work - most shots of her in later years are on shed. Illustrates huge size of brown vans. Think that may be the day of the Dalriada railtour or similar / note all the gricers! WT 10 was notorious in later years for having a huge hole in the cab floor which made the fireman’s life a bit sporty

    Welcome R and L! This is a great forum with lots of knowledgeable and helpful people.

    Interesting to see he’s also got a green Woolwich and green coaches on offer too - am sure there may be a few seekers after such on here.

    That’s a most impressive set-up!
  10. Galteemore
    Possibly, but what do you do with them after Halloween?;)

    That’s gorgeous Ernie. The gleaming VS at Dundalk is pure GN glory. However, just imagine getting on board that PP and heading to Enniskillen in time for the 7:20….even though I think the PP is pointing towards Derry !

    Well done - good effort ! Nice Irish vibe off that

    Now that’s railcar heaven. I can almost forgive you for giving me flashbacks to my daily 80s school commute.

    Welcome Darius. You will find lots of fans for your work here - having seen it on RMWeb, NIR fans are in for a treat!

    Last steam regular working from Belfast to Dublin was October 1966, worked by a WT.

    Lovely stuff - lots of delicate framing there! And you can justify an SLNC one as late as 53…. .

    http://worsleyworks.co.uk/4mm/4mm_Irish_Standard_Gauge.htm 2 car set here. Will be a basic etch only.

    That looks really good

    That’s an NCC Mogul. The NCC were the high priests of tablet exchange at speed, 60 mph was regular practice, as the main line north of Ballymena was single track. In mainland UK the practice began in the late 1880s I think http://lmssociety.org.uk/topics/singleLineWorking2.php

    Colin, it’s just bad typesetting by the advertiser. All the Irish locos are prefaced by bold type, thus CIE. Unfortunately, BR classes are freely mixed in the list. This is simply a planned UK ‘superdeltic’ - class 51 - which never came to pass. The Irish kit was an E pure and simple. .https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Rail_unbuilt_locomotive_classes
  22. Galteemore
    Haven’t you got boxes to pack instead of disputing how many E class can dance on the head of a pin?
  23. Galteemore
    Nice plan. I’m leaving the wiring to the experts, but that right hand crossover would probably look better a bit further right - allow a decent 4-4-0s worth of headshunt as a loco release. Otherwise you will have to leave the passenger stock out in the bondu every time you run round, creating a shunting move that would be both unlikely on the prototype and inconvenient to you!!
  24. Galteemore
    That looks terrific!
  25. Galteemore
    I think the mystery was more that nobody ever seemed to have seen one of the E kits, as opposed to the well known A class! Mayner has answered this on another thread.
