WRENNEIRE

We at the MRSI attended a fund raising day last year in Ballyglunin It was a wet and miserable day and the numbers attending were not great but those that did attend were very passionate about the restoration project To that effect we took a lot of pics and measurements and hope to build a model of this historical station to be presented to the committee when finished Scale it yet to be decided but it will most likely be a static display in 00 or N

The only other Irish outline yoke I could find in the book was a 500 class

Some open wagons

Some wagon drawings Could not manage to post them in the Resource section From The Railway Engineer 1924

Its to scare away gricers!

No Box, not interested

Just spent 15 boring minutes on flea bay I noticed a FS logo on the wagon so I trawled the Italian site and eventually found this http://www.ebay.it/itm/LIMA-303174-H0-1-87-Carro-merci-scoperto-UIC-FS-con-carico-carbone-/162528937883?hash=item25d77ac79b:g:RSIAAOSwlndZJywx It has a 6 figure reference which I find strange, most HO items only carry a 4 figure one Anyway I can go back to sipping my cocoa now, job done

I know no one cares except me but the brown BR Long wheel based wagon appears in all the UK Lima catalogues with the Double Arrow logo on the side OO catalogue number 303175 & HO catalogue number 3175 Ramseys British Model Trains Catalogue lists it as Continental LWB Mineral Wagon and says that some wagons in the original HO range were transferred to the OO range in the mid to late 70's Some very un-British wagons were added to sets and were fitted with OO tension lock couplings The one in the set has a very continental look about it but I do not have any Continental Lima catalogues so I cannot give any more info on this wagon.

Picked up this Lima set recently Check out the contents OO Loco and 3 CIE wagons HO,with OO couplings, Schweppes LONDON Texaco, Milford Haven Brown steel wagon Strange mix for an Irish set!!!

Personally I think its a mistake to reenter at the moment unless he has some new models to launch Given the cost of them and then further cost of having them built or painted they look very expensive compared to the new IRM wagons I picked up some MIR stuff recently that had been built and painted by a "professional" painter/ builder One item sticks out, 6 bubble cements, heavily weathered, cost was €490, twice the price of 6 rtr from IRM The 2010 pricelist had the bubble cement kit at £25, which at the time was over €35 so I presume the prices wont be any cheaper now I know we have some excellent kit builders here but I would say that the majority of modelers would opt for the rtr version given the new standards that have been achieved Just my tuppence worth, and I am in no way disparaging the excellent contribution that MIR has made to the hobby in the past

I have 50' of G102 track and a couple of points Any use?

Stay with the programme man 7MM

Just waiting for decals from Studio Scale Models to finish her off Flash photos do not do her any justice

My favourite, Studio Scale Models http://www.studio-scale-models.com/

Kieran, take a couple of deep breaths, a cup of tea and a small stroll through some leafy suburbs Some years back I had a similar problem here, I was only short of hopping in the car and steaming off to sort him out Decided I would never post here again and felt very sorry for myself for a few days Later on I kind of missed the craic here and slowly crept back into it I think you are a very important member here, I have watched your layout progress with envy and also your building skills I actually didnt see what all the pulava was about with your post, a lot worse has managed to get through over the years OK so maybe take some time out but please remain as a contributor here, we need more members like you. XXX

On a different note Roxy, I picked up a Dock Shunter at Bray on Sunday, trade in from a regular customer Just gave it a quick look over, working well in both directions, light also working, all buffers and couplings present And its the rarer Red coloured one Drop me a PM if its of any interest Cheers

So your waiting for a Hunslet and then 3 come along Had to wait nearly 3 weeks!!!!! Then there were 2 And finally Roof detail

Lyons Tea container

Any use?

Hung a few over the weekend as well

I was trawling through Wikipedia while eating my porridge this morning Although originally fitted with an EMD 8-567CR engine of 960 horsepower (720 kW), all were later fitted with 645 type "power packs" (piston & liner assemblies) for parts standardisation, while at the same time keeping their original power output for reliability reasons. Numbers 126-129 were later rebuilt with an EMD 8-645E engine of 1,100 horsepower (820 kW); as used in the 181 Class locomotives. All but three (121, 125, and 135) were fitted with Train Door Control equipment for operation with the Inchicore-built, BR Mark 3 based, Push-Pull train units. The push-pull equipment of locomotive 132 was subsequently decommissioned. Entering service in 1989, these trains, consisting of a single 121 Class and up to six carriages, were mainly used on the Dublin northern suburban passenger railway service. Now I know PM is having a sound chip made for these locos and that he is thinking of different chips for the 2 different engine sizes The EMD 8-645E was also used in the 181's So I reckon we will have a factory made chip for the 181's when the 121's come on stream I presume that there would be no reason why they could not be produced before the locos come on stream? Happy days

Theres VAT involved in the cost but I imagine he gets around 17% of the hammer He also collects the same fee from the seller!!!

Dont know who bought it but they paid €680 (€816 after costs)
