  1. I wish some of the other existent timber/iron buildings out our direction had an excuse to get restored to a level to match kells!
  2. Probobly unfair to compare a German designed 1930s loco to and an 1875 loco that was further kitbashed in 1915 and was already over 80 when it retired!
  3. the photo of 90 shunting the tin can was the IRRS excursion to Courtmacsherry. I think it was the 20th of October 1960 However, 90 often worked seaside excursions…sometimes in multiple….see below
  4. my 3 hand lamps. I find the modern version fascinating, a completely arbitrary battery and an expectation date! Where as the old bardic (with modifications) works perfect 40 odd years later. I have no idea how to make a burner work on the CIE hand lamps so I just threw a candle in there to show the principe
  5. Yes it is EXTREMLY weird. Especially around the Dublin area, and the fact they needed an entirely different one for Sunday Differently not my own unfortunately. Infact if anything I’m looking to expand same as yourself! (CBSCR and GSR particularly) If you’re willing to pay steep eBay prices. You can get public ones for slightly cheaper via abe books usually
  6. You’d be suprised how much consider this there favourite loco….im tempted….
  7. Infairness. Modern stations and stock don’t allow much for variety. For instance how many places had large and interesting layouts for them not to even have a loop in 2025. Equally how many of those places are exclusively served by an ICR and not much else. Even now, the days of 2 car railcar formations is coming to and end in the short/medium term the late 50s-early 60s is the best era. Change my mind
  8. Roblox has a set distance at which you can make in terms of memory (considering that you don’t download the game, you load it up every time you play!) so afaik it’s Dublin-Kildare and that’s really it! Although it’s theoretical to go to portarlington or further. The current preferred option would be doing all the way to GCD in the opposite direction Also, quite a large update is happening on the previous NIR game, which may not be of great quality but does have a small loyal fan base
  9. Ok Here is my collection of timetables and a bit of marketing material thrown in for good measure. I do have a good bit more then this…..i just can’t find it. But this is 99 percent of the timetables I’ve only got 2 GSR timetables as things stand Only 2 WTTs from that time too Annual reports of years and the IRRS all Ireland tour passenger timetables gotten from shows and members of this forum ( @leslie10646 and @DERAILED come to mind!)
  10. I was looking at the 29k from my first class seat nervously…. what apeared to happen was they waited for the up Enteprise to arrive and nabbed the wiper off that since they had none spare in drogheada
  11. To those who care about this sort of thing. My enterprise is currently on drogheada (we should have left Dundalk by now) due to a wiper blade coming off Edit: We left at about 5 past 12.
  12. I have one of these from way back when. I might post what I have later on
  13. Anything CIE/GSR ?
  14. @leslie10646 sold one of these to me for a much cheaper price at the Dublin Model show….perhaps flock to Bangor if you want one people! (And pick up a wagon as well)
