So six running numbers in total? What sort of era would they have vanished? From an RTR perspective, what would have handled them? NCC Jinty? Or a Mogul? Everybody loves a @MOGUL!

That Executive livery is savage... Looks like it's gonna be a whopper of a summer with these, the 50's and the 60's all likely to arrive!

The three Provincial Wagons currently on eBay: https://www.ebay.es/itm/285295734748 https://www.ebay.es/itm/275863233638 https://www.ebay.es/itm/275863223833

Nearly sure that they did two different packs of the Murphy Brothers opens; a Bachmann three pack, and a Bachmann Coal Traders three pack.

Lovely pics, @popeye! So there were RTR models of the Murphy Brothers opens, the John Milligen opens, and the East Downshire Steamship opens. Any others? It seems from @jhb171achill's posts above that private owner wagons were gone before the 121's entered service?

This following post from @leslie10646 got me thinking about private owner wagons that ran in Ireland: I felt that the topic deserved it's own thread. So, I did a little digging and assembled just a few of the many posts on the topic that are scattered throughout the forum.

OK, you've twisted my arm. Lovely looking chassis on the Prestflo's!

Heljan have thrown their hat back into the TT120 ring: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/vendors?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.v.price.gte=0&filter.v.price.lte=695&filter.p.m.custom.Scale=TT%3A120 Gauge&q=Heljan Heljan would normally have my goodwill, but in light of @BosKonay's comments on Hornby genuinely being the first to commit, and the others trying to take advantage, in a starke role reversal, I have mixed feelings about this. Reference screenshot from Rails attached.

To my shame, I don’t have them all, just a handful on each format.

Speaking of, not only do I have a few of your DVD’s, I also have a handful of these in the archive!

Anybody tried out any of Ellis Clark’s O Gauge Presflo wagons? A little birdie told me that they’re worth picking up. Very nice looking wagons! They appear to have been in use from the mid fifties until the mid eighties, so would look well behind a nice BR blue diesel.

Don't want to go too far off-topic, as this has been touched on before HERE ON THE FORUM. It would be a good idea, and a nice courtesy, if uploaded images were accompanied by a source url, where not actually taken by the poster. I understand that it my not always be possible - we all have the odd railway related photo on our computer that isn't ours and we can't remember the source. And, in some cases, it's not necessary. For example, an eBay screenshot is going to be blatantly obvious as having come from eBay, and IRM screenshot the same, and so on. A reverse image search in this particular case reveals ONE online source to be: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://twitter.com/gee89n&ved=2ahUKEwjRo6XMqfCMAxUyRPEDHQMRMGMQn5YKegQIERAB&usg=AOvVaw3W9rnWFvoSfy9MlaRWzu6N I can't remember my Twitter password so can't go any further. There's no way of kowing if that is the original source or also a re-publication, but at least we can put in the effort. To do a reverse image search via Google, go to Google Images, click on the camera icon in the search bar, and upload the image that you are trying to find a source for.

@WRENNEIRE and @MOGUL are the bus boys. Quite a few Irish buses on eBay of late, too.

Just catching up. Fabulous photos and videos, @NIRCLASS80!!!

Do the RPSI delete events from their website the moment they occur? I had bookmarked a url for Monday’s trips but nothing appears today on following it.

Even an MSC Gold box! Great spot, @leslie10646!

Eight years ago? Hard for that to sink in. Eight whole years.

I’m not sure on how tweaking the tooling would work in reality, so thought it best to ask. Remember, ‘tis better to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt, than to remain silent and be thought a fool.

Wow, talk about an update! I’m sure it’s given you a new light on priorities and perspectives, and just posting about it here must have taken some courage, never mind the treatment itself. Thinking of you and wishing you the very best, @derek! Thanks for posting.

Bubblicious! Will this batch run on the same chassis as earlier runs, where splitting and packing the chassis, or filing the insides of the axle boxes, is required for 21mm conversion? Or has the clearance been tweaked to make them 21mm-friendly? Great to see Rails of Sheffield retailing them, finally opening up Irish outline to the general UK market. Brilliant move.

Looks like there was one in this Bell liner, too:

This post from @Mol_PMB might be a start: Herpa modelled a Bell tank in 1:87. The running numbers, if prototypical, are legible: BELU-3000420 This photo from @iarnrod shows a different design of Bell tank, looks to be branded "Bell Bulk". Not super clear but might jog the memories of some:
