WRENNEIRE

Couldn't agree more Josef, well said. If a thread does not appeal to you, don't open it, simples.

Just to get the thread started Some models I ended up with through no fault of my own! 1:200 DC-9-50 McDonald Douglas Austrian Airways 1:200 Lockheed L-1011-500 DELTA Airlines Airwolf body Bought for a project that will never happen, pity as its a cracking kit.

Cheers Phil Still a lot of stuff to cover, Lima did some O Gauge & N Gauge in Irish livery's and there is some Hornby Irish as well Also hope to cover the MIR Freight range and some other bits, so stay tuned!

Eoin The loco is a Jouef HDI model Made in Shannon in the late 70's early 80's They did 3 "Irish" locos and also some coaches There were three ranges of loco produced - one type used a simplified chassis from BB 17000/25521, with single-axle drive, usually powered by a Mabuchi (Hong Kong) can -type motor, though the design of motor bogie also allowed fitting of the open-frame Jouef 3-pole motor. The bodies of these models were all unique to the HDI range and in most cases some trouble was taken to evoke the characteristics of the real locomotives. The alternative range used bogies from the DB electric locomotives 110/139/182 listed in the 1978/79 main Jouef catalogue, but again with the Mabuchi motor and single-axle drive and the bogie adapted to take the Jouef 3-pole motor. The same body (a reasonable representation of a V200) is common to all. We assume that the SNCB, NSB and DSB versions were thought to look like Nohabs. Also produced but not catalogued was a version of 8501, the SNCF Y51100 locotracteur, moulded in black with a white CIE logo embossed on the cab sides.

71. Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht Michael D. Higgins the plans, if any, he has to address the concerns of residents in the Clonsilla area of Dublin 15 regarding the preservation of the old signal box at Clonsilla Station as part of our transport heritage; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this signal box may be the last of its kind in the Dublin area and that there is concern that it may be demolished as the line becomes automated; and if he will discuss the heritage aspects of this matter with the relevant bodies to ensure the preservation of the old signal box at Clonsilla, either in situ, or at an adjacent site. [13748/96] Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (Mr. M. Higgins): This matter has not previously been brought to my attention. However, as the signal box is the property of a public authority, I will request the advice of the Heritage Council as to whether it should be designated as a heritage building under section 10 of the Heritage Act, 1995.

Troops I am looking for a Rivarossi Royal Scot if anyone has one lurking away in some corner of the loft HO scale , they did not last long, less than 2 years if memory serves me Might also be interested in some coaches but its really the loco I am looking for Thanking youse in advance!!! I could also give some very generous trade in allowance against any Murphy Model stuff you may require wrenneire@gmail.com please, I hate the PM gig
