    Presumably for running on the ‘Burma Road’. Love it
  2. Galteemore
    Glad you’re back Ernie! Do like those big Midland 4-4-0s, rough riders though they were. Looks as if the van is destined for Loughrea!

    The design of the WT was also signed off under Ivatt rather than Stanier, too. Appropriate, given that Ivatt was born in the land of the 5’3”! Nice touch re Rev Harris too. Excellent models. Although very much of the LMS ‘house style’ , the NCC locos are possessed of deceptively subtle differences. These you have nicely captured.

    Depends how you define ‘North’! WT class effectively also rang down the curtain on the final days of GN main line steam; they were thus, for some three years, the last real active steam in the Republic. Moguls were also occasional visitors to Dublin. So they both did a fair amount of cross border work, even before preservation days - and we will hopefully see a Mogul in Dublin again one day. The extra braking capacity the Moguls had though,being tender locos, meant that they tended to do Derry Road goods duties more

    They own it too. Took over ABE in 2008.

    Indeed, Darius, and I often tread this path too. It nicely illustrates, however, the complexity of all this. ABE books is owned by Amazon….it’s hard to completely avoid funding recreational space travel no matter how hard one tries To throw in just one supplier I use, Grosmont Books in Yorkshire has a big railway selection and worth a look- it’s genuinely independent too!

    W and T ideal for a scratch build 21mm or 36.75 scheme, where small amounts of stock are a bonus! Would be a nice project for time shifting eras too - with those wonderful single wheelers and quirkily modified J26s

    Locomotive length 40’ 11.75” Tender 26’2.75”

    What’s especially striking here - compared to many 60s images - is the cleanliness of the engines. And look at that PW in Claremorris station - not a weed in sight !
  10. Galteemore
    Very nice - what kind of hornblocks are you using ?

    Their provider is, according to other sources, apparently working off a ‘disaster recovery’ scenario. This is all you get for now when you attempt access.

    Never mind the track technicalities, show us more locos ! That 2-4-0 is gorgeous
  14. Galteemore
    Those are wonderful Ernie. That close up of the VS is a gift to modellers! Might inspire @leslie10646to run a few more trains today!

    Sorry to hear that David - hope they recover well.
  17. Galteemore
    Excellent John. And virtually all of the above available as 7mm kits,too….
  18. Galteemore
    And for those of you who, like me, never saw it, this is what we missed. To Dublin ears which had become accustomed to the 2 cylinder exhaust of the WTs by the mid 60s, the occasional appearance of that 3 cylinder beat of Boyne would sound subtly different….images thanks to Ernie. Note in the top photo how Adelaide shed staff, disgusted by the removal of her nameplates, provided a wooden substitute.
  19. Galteemore
    That’s a lovely little E class; and with the correctly painted green underframe, too!
  20. Galteemore
    Very pleasant day it was too, David - thank you! Really enjoyed being immersed in County Tyrone for a few hours.

    R8096, if they are 12mm, which if ancient they are likely to be, rather than 14mm. Beautiful work with the stock, Patrick. Only one thing missing from those buses/ Howden-Meredith wheels !
  23. Galteemore
    Nice shot of 16. Hard to believe that something so elegant was built as late as 1945.
  24. Galteemore
    Yes that’s what I’d figure. Very healthy traffic that day!
  25. Galteemore
    Not sure it’s the Cookstown goods as the NCC side closed in 55; only the GN line to Cookstown was still open in 59
