Warbonnet

There's a wagon transfer currently sitting in inchicore waiting to go too by the way. Could be a bonus for you!

Brit only today I'm afraid!

About 1:30ish

Jesus christ that's some dress she's wearing! Fantastic!

Try between 11:30 and 2:30 (I think!) can't remember off hand. I'll be down seeing himself this afternoon too.

Agreed. Great find but time to close the thread before we stray into unpleasant areas!

That's the one for me, even just for the number!

Gotta love the leader! There was talk of some crowd commissioning Dapol to do a RTR version but I believe it collapsed.

Or maybe you mean the RSD12? I think Atlas did one of them before...

Interesting John, I have a few SD9s myself but as you say they dont have the uneven axle spacing. An Alco PA might work if you're not bothered about axle spacing and feel comfortable making up your own chassis. Has a commonwealth bogie which isn't a million miles away from the A Class bogie in looks (looks better than the ones sliverfox do anyway in my eyes.) Did you mean RSD15? Broadway do them but as they can be a bit pricey as the do all their models with sound as far as I know and the sound chips cannot be re-blown. Has the uneven axle spacing mind you.

He wishes. If there was even a hint that it was on offer I know Dave would've bitten his arm off!

Funnily enough I will be exploring/researching that particular avenue in the next week or so for someone. Will report back!

This is a kit John is developing himself David. I can tell you that his etches are superb. It's worth looking at this workbench thread to see his heating van under construction http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2427-Georges-Workbench?p=44719#post44719 4mm scale I know, but worth a look!

Thanks Minister, I shall go and do some research!

Top work George. Must clear a space for a work bench and get cracking on mine!

Nice job, would hope he's not getting out of the Irish end of the hobby.

Cheers Minister, I'm guessing black all over liverywise? Did they get a snail on the tender?

Can't wait to see how these build up John. What duties would these have finished out on in CIE days and where would they have been based by then?

Looks like the bogies of a DB BR151 electric loco to me, probably an old Roco model http://www.haertle.de/Modelleisenbahn/Spur+H0/Lokomotiven+Spur+H0/ESU+31031+E+Lok+BR+151+080+blau+beige+Engineering+Edition+AC+DC+Spur+H0.html While it would be super smooth runner the bogies and wheelbase would be way off. The whitemetal body of the Q kit would add sufficient weight (coupled with the all wheel drive) to help it be a super hauler compared to a resisn shell of the Silver Fox kit with a Hornby motor bogie.

Correct. While we truly value cotributions such as those great pics we like to keep things as tightly on topic as much as possible as it helps finding things for reference later on. For example, I spent 2 hours looking for an old thread the other night as the information I was looking for was in a topic completely removed to the subject matter I was after. It's to help everyone in the long run. The pics have been moved to a new topic in a relevant area. We would ask all members to think 'is this relevant to the topic title or would this be better getting a new topic all on its own?' Anyway, pictures now here http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2877-final-years-of-the-mk3s

I second this!

Top notch Dave, looks super!

Athearn just announced SD70 with flared rads, will have to try hard to resist them!

Top work Des, I reckon these will fly out the door for you. The tanker looks huge!

Nice model Gareth, Canadian modellers doing really well with the wide cab EMDs these past couple of years. I believe Bowser will be showing off their GMD Sd40-2 at the big show this weekend.
