  1. Must have been Almost 12 months ago. At this stage I could find the dates
  2. It’s not a journey one would want to make in one day. I recomend staying in Cork (somhow) overnight. Maybe do the East Cork lines too. belfast-Connolly has first class (unless it breaks down as my Cork-Belfast leg did, great fun sitting the 2nd half of a 6 hour journey in a 29k!), but, thanks to the ongoing refurbishment of the mark 4s. The Heuston-Cork leg of your journey will either be in the old City Gold, Or the New 1st class and it’s impossible to tell which trains have the new and improved first class, versus the old and a bit tired city gold. just yesterday I was in Kent following the st Patrick’s day special trains on the east Cork lines and counted of the 3 mark 4 sets I saw, 2 of them still had city gold
  3. Small job done yesterday when the sun was out. The sides and back came white, not to happy with this arangment, I found a decent match rattle can and changed it around the next job will be finding a way of strengthening it and weighing it down before I can attach the lamp iron bracket
  4. something much bigger scale for the workbench On many of the Late 1960s Railtours organised by the Munster area, a basic headboard was used. not sure what became of this one, if any one has any idea please feel free to comment. but I have decided to make a new one for the fun of it. i have all the necessary peices, though any advice would be nice. i just need to put them together. and while it has absolutly no reason to exist. maybe one day it might see action (well, maximum 25MPH!) it is nice that, even if never used there can be a headboard for photo opertunites and so forth.
  5. I pre ordered a pack of 3 which I intend to mix in with GSWR flats, and/or other types of flats weather they be converted or printed
  6. I find revolut superb at shoes for accepting payment. Of course you do have to give your number to the other person. But it’s the next best thing when somone does not have cash and PayPal takes too long
  7. I noticed on the project status page there was these photos on the bullied section. Although I thought I had just missed the announcement!
  8. As you can see, there has been some repairs and modifications to it already. It was used in a model show for many years displaying models. It’s clear that 2/4 sides were replaced with some sort of ply wood. The result is a lot of warped and desroyed wood. It might be of use as a frame using the base and the front (would need new glass)
  9. In Dublin, will get on top of it when I return to CBCSR territory!
  10. If anyone was any good at woodwork. I have a poster board from Albert quay which I intended to make into a model display as absolve. But all 4 sides were knackered, only the front and back were salvageable. The choice is to either cut up the 4 sides and turn it into a picture frame, or fix it up properly. Any advice would be nice
  11. A cheaper version of the Lego mode stand. Sure you loose the LED’s and some space. But a bit better for putting on your desk as it isint top heavy….and it’s priced at 20 quid in smyths
  12. Twitter is pretty good although I can admit for railways, Facebook is the only show in that own
  13. I have managed to limit myself to one pilgrimidge to Northern Ireland per year so far…. starting the day at 5AM and ending it at 12AM just for a few hours in d’North is an expensive and mentally draining excercise….and before you ask some of work the weekeends….so hotel is off the cards too, unless it’s in Dublin and that’s
  14. A person on Facebook said (and when your only source is Facebook you know your in Trouble) said that one of Audrey’s stories was directly inspired by one incident on the Cork and Macroom Railway. The incident in question happened in 1952. The post was accompanied with the following article. I, naturally, have never followed this up with any further research….So take with a pinch of salt! if this is true, then making up a train of some cattle wagons and a GSWR F6 tank engine shouldn’t be to hard to recreate.
