Nenagh is interesting, single through line but with a siding to recess PW trains that itself contains a loop. Three points, but instead of the usual passing loop and siding we have the goods loop once so characteristic of an Irish track layout. Thanks to @thewanderer
-
Looks like three points though, one visible, one semi-visible and one implied. Profligate!
-
Exactly, the whole basis of VAT is that it stops once it reaches the consumer. That's why there are the VAT margin schemes on second hand goods, goods that have been sold by a consumer to a business. VAT is just a massive list of exceptions anyway, no one really knows it all, not even VATmen.
-
Does that ever happen? Yes it does, 01:32
-
I thought there would be, even if only to recess PW trains, but it seems there's nothing like that on the network now, just loops. Manulla is perhaps the closest, the newer layout now recesses the Ballina shuttle and allows it be passed to/from Ballina, but does that ever happen?
-
The axis has tilted from east to southeast. I notice the South Wexford line is still receiving maintenance, so who knows.
-
Cobh, a trailing crossover, two points Manulla, a reversed Z, two points Midleton, just a fork, one point and the winner... Grand Canal Dock, one terminating line but yet..., zero points The small print - Ireland only, excludes simple through lines and loops
-
That's more or less what happened at Wingham Canterbury Road on the East Kent Light Railway http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/wingham_canterbury_road/1946map.gif

There is more than a touch of the Continent in that trackplan.
-
Six points, that's more than Derry or Sligo!
-
Trackplan? I guess they wouldn't have to reverse the horse but otherwise it sounds a bit loop and sidings, at least three points.
-
Manulla, two points in a reversed Z, now that's interesting.
-
That's just boring though. I did think of Howth but that has trailing *and* facing crossovers, four points.
-
Not the loop and one siding places, that's three points! But Midleton, just a fork, and Cobh, just a trailing crossover. Any others?
-
It's just a weird perspective with the smokebox door open between the toolboxes
-
I wondered about that, sometimes windows were replaced with no opening at all but nothing would surprise me.
-
If Tara Mines built a smelter and refined ingots on site then that would be heavy industry, otherwise I'm struggling.
-
You could draw some parallel lines on this photo and derive a relative proportion for the hopper opening Shows a whole coach of hopper windows pre-Sealink livery.
-
They also seem to have been fitted as individual window replacements across the 70 Class
-
It's so detailed that only epochs will do. So forget about liveries, they're on the models anyway. Pre-grouping - MGWR, BNCR, INWR, SLNCR Grouping - GSR, NCC, GNRI, SLNCR Nationalisation - CIE, UTA Dieselisation - diesels Rationalisation - block freight, no freight Each model spread across epochs according to livery
-
How about straight points crossovers arranged like these to avoid reverse curves and create more space
-
If no Dapol then some Bachmann LMS porthole coaches are 60 feet
-
Correct, but 100 years on and it's still the Brits fault. Let's face it, all the bright people left long ago.

Legal implications of using IE/CIE/Dublin Bus Logos & Liveries on models
NIR replied to ShaneC's question in Questions & Answers
Would be interesting to know what permissions, if any, were obtained for model ambulances bearing the red cross. Unauthorised use of that symbol is a criminal offence I think, following on from the Geneva Convention or similar. -
Take it up with the Revenue Commissioners and your MEP.
