    Some pipe runs may help Patrick - wall mounted steam pipes from a boiler house ? Also scope for things like a projecting jib for a crane, or even a fire escape ladder….

    Useful background here https://www.seamusjking.com/sjk-articles/2014/10/28/span-classposttitlethe-cashel-extension-railwayspan-supplement-nationalist-centenary-1890-1990-pp-110-112

    Cashel had a pretty striking location beside the Rock. Love this early view of it showing that classic turn of the century look - what wonderful ballasting!

    Could well be Mountmellick. This Ciaran Cooney image is rather similar in layout, esp with regard to the gate and the pole locations. Don’t blame you re 132 - that big tender and IRRS headboard makes it merge in your mind with the many published images of 132 on such duties! I also thought it was 132 at first.

    Nice. Unusual, as at Thurles, to see a distant signal within station limits!

    I missed the middle in fairness(only skimmed through till I hit the first train bit!). Good to see a heritage railway picking up a bit of business.
  7. Galteemore
    Not all of it….the establishing shots were filmed at Whitehead (NIR).

    Excellent tip on the books, Mark. My copy of the SSG volume arrived today - excellent read. The Register, which I acquired a few months ago, is an incredibly useful volume too, rammed full of SLNC photos too! The former is still quite easy to find - recommended while you can get it.

    This may help - decade old but maybe useful….http://georgedentmodelmaker.blogspot.com/2013/01/klear-ing-things-up.html?m=1 Could also ask the company direct ?

    It’s a GN Loco coal wagon.

    Excellent- have a good day. Blessingbourne is one of those Irish locos like the BCDR Baltics and the NCC 2-4-4T that looked so powerful but sadly failed to deliver what their appearance promised! Although I was struck by a very insightful comment in Bill Scott’s book that 110 in many ways anticipated the appearance of the 5’3 WT class a decade and a half later…..sorry - off on a tangent !

    Best wishes for the recovery Mark. Looks good on the building front. How did you get the brickwork looking so good?
  13. Galteemore
    And I And a card kit available from Alphagraphix, IIRC - the bogies certainly are, as w/m castings.
  14. Galteemore
    Great stuff. Interesting shot of the Kiltubrid siding too, which often appears at an odd angle in photos as it branched so abruptly off a curve.
  15. Galteemore
    Can’t you just get an ex Lisburn train and change at Central ?

    Excellent work Angus. If Dromahair is too much, can always go for Florencecourt or Belcoo, which have similar footprint but single story. Indeed, Dromahair was once exactly the same as Florencecourt.

    Captain Howey, millionaire owner of the Romney line, was at the auction of the line (think he bought the turntable IIRC). He could easily have bought the outfit as a whole but refused to do so. He dismissed the MWs as ‘dreadful old things with long funnels’!
  18. Galteemore
    Very nice indeed. Lovely work and a most interesting prototype
  19. Galteemore
    Looks even better. Always a pain reworking something but worth it here
  20. Galteemore
    There was a direct link at Collooney,known as the ‘southern siding’, which indeed would have facilitated such traffic flows. Unused by the 50s (I think the advent of the GSR marked the end of its frequent use) and largely occupied by stored wagons. IIRC this is it at the SLNC end, trailing in right of pic. An @Irishswissernieimage.
  21. Galteemore
    Lovely. Nice subtle work with convincing background vistas.
  22. Galteemore
    Seriously impressive. Adds massively to atmosphere and effect.
  23. Galteemore
    GNRI indeed had a 25 ton van not unlike. 23’ length if that helps. Don’t have a publicly licensed image to hand - sorry. Stick on a few big ‘G N ‘ letters and should look nice.
  24. Galteemore
    Awesome stuff Ernie. Views I saw every day on my school commute 83-39. You can also just glimpse a container extreme right. Those sidings were the resting place of many sad items at that point including a steam crane, and some DH locos.
  25. Galteemore
    That’s very very good.
