We're lucky in that CIE/IR struggled until quite late on to put out a consistent shade of orange. We get away with these off-shades and in fact a uniform shade of orange in a train, even of mk3's, looks wrong. We can mix and match the new MM mk2ds and the earlier (later!) ones, as well as the MM mk2a/b's and the upcoming IRM mk2c's and they will look spot on.

This is the modeller's equivalent of scope creep: Era creep I call it

It's the presentation box I'd be really worried about.
-
Good call on the composite instead of a standard. Bit more variety to the train.

Depends where you secrete the models.....

First and it seems last visit in November gone.

@WRENNEIRE Dave are these sort of longer term plans after the small GMs or are we talking about 201s and mkIIIs going to production this year already? It's an ambitious list of stuff to get out.

By the time these coaches were in the IR livery the only remaining first class coach was only used on Dublin-Belfast services IIRC. I think a pair of standards would be more prototypical for this era but the first wouldn't be "wrong", just very unlikely to see a 4 coach train with that sole remaining first on a Belfast service I would imagine. The Mk2s were the mainstay on Dublin-Belfast until the DeDietrichs relieved them.

Merry Christmas everyone. Nothing railway related under the tree as I don't trust Santa to get me the right stuff lol. The main this is to have our health and happiness

Any pics of these different BR container variants for those of us with no clue about them?

According to this German wiki page, Booth Poole was taken over by Brittains in 1971: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booth_Poole_%26_Company My father had left them by then to start his own business.

This was Booth Poole I guess. My father's first "proper job" was there and he remained in the motor trade all his life.

I wonder did any of the Ford cars get shipped over the border by rail at all. This whole area is quite fascinating and this traffic didn't exist in later eras, so anyone wanting to model a train load of cars needs to be looking at the 60s and earlier it seems. Might encourage more folks to model the era!

Yeah great news. I have ordered the flying snail ones. I must be doing something wrong because I don't ever seem to get the partially button. I just opted to pay by card. I also noticed that when you click on checkout pre-orders without opening up the list of pre-orders, it just emties your cart and you have to start again. This happened to me with the Bulleids too. After starting again I was careful to click the drop down arrow to display the pre-order list before clicking on "checkout pre-orders" and then it went to the checkout (but like I said, no partially option was visible there, only the CC option).

Top work!

Roll on March! These will sell out the moment people start seeing them in the flesh, if not beforehand.

Murphy Models Class 121 Sound Fitting
murphaph replied to Chris Morris's question in Questions & Answers
They have a speaker fitted in the factory Chris. You just need to pop the bonnet off and fit a sound decoder. -
Warley (again!) IRRS Stand is C49, with Ballyconnell Road at C50!

That large circular US layout was Eight Dollar Canyon. -

My first time at Warley. I'm surprising the young lad on Friday after school when we head to the airport instead of home. Very much looking forward to it.- 43 replies

I suspect regular use was made of the TPO's letter box for urgent letters.
-
And as an analogue to Accurascale's Powering Britain range these could form part of the Emigrating Ireland one.

I'd probably have to pass on GSR and earlier stuff, for the moment anyway. I will take anything that would have been on the rails in both 1962ish and 1995ish. Seems like the GSR livery would have been gone by the 60's for sure.

Does anyone have more details on the weedspray train's evolution from these triangulated chassis? Did the tanks get removed from the Bulleid wagons and placed directly onto the 42' flats or was there an intermediate 20' wagon used?
