Westcorkrailway

As JHB pointed out. mr Good has given to me a copy from his long list of invaluable documents the first time each C class ran in west cork (all of them having visited west cork by the end of 1959) meaning any C class could work your layout. I however would hold out on a silverfox C class because I have a feeling an IRM one will avarice in the midium term. As for the AEC railcar. I found them to be not good enough. The plastic very fiddly and falling apart. Hence I sold mine @jhb171achill a C class in green in 1966! also CIE Had a Peckett! In original as deleivered Peckett Green but it was very very weathered so you could hardly make out it was green. It was withdrawn in 1950 but you could “work around that” I would probobly get GSWR no.90 if funds allowed too.

Yes we can do a 90 which fits into the old horny terrier chassis a bandon tank that fits onto a Horby b12 and old terrier chassis (looks ok ish!) the Adams radial tank - Irish ish. It would have been even better if I chopped of the outside cylinders. There was a CBSC quote simular to the 4-4-2 I made. Many other of this type had circle windows and other defining features

The green ones looked very nice. It’s a shame a few more didn’t escape in that guise

Yes the metrovic plate in my “my local area” has a layer of orange paint on it

Tell you what, wouldn’t mind if they made these as well and an EMD version. Reckon they would be a nice way to raise some cash

I suggest you look in this thread for some inspiration @Metrovik

Look earlier in the thread! It seems you can hard glue in new couplings

I think this is literally the “Irish Hornby Railroad” some have been crying out for. Sure the UTA it not everyone’s cup of tea but if your on a budget sometimes you don’t have a choice! An Irish steam engine for €99.99 will have a few downsides inevitably. But most working on the cheap won’t be needing Kadee couplings!

From the marks models FB page It is great to to be able to announce that our Hornby OO scale NCC / UTA 3F Jinty has arrived into stock and at only €99.99 including free all Ireland delivery is the cheapest Irish Railway locomotive model available for quite sometime .

Very jealous!

One for the bus and railway men if there around this Sunday

I think I’d only buy a CBSC crest. And they are very near extinct anyway

I love the roof….unreal….havent read the thread but have you considered installing orange LED’s or something for a night scene

Got mine a few minutes ago. Depite one slight issue with them. I decided to set them up like one of the Ford trains at Albert quay

007 used to have “James Bond”scratched into the paintwork! A “body only” one would cost just as much. They may aswell provide the chassis yes only 1 end and 1 side of the loco was done. It’s a lovely “what if” livery though

We don’t have any green A class locos with the line yet either. I know A55 was already done in the last run. But it would be super to get his one done! And how could we forget that Galway livery A class might make a suitible candidate. Wouldn’t be interested in that one personally but would make for a nice special edition model

Good thing they arrived on my day off

Now to be fair I’m in the same boat as everyone else with 3 flats missing from my parcel this evening but I only paid for my pre order 1 week ago!

Yes that’s Broadstone and unfortunatly yes it is empty stock

Cork-Ballynacourty via Limerick junction-Waterford and Waterford-dungarvan line. 1970-82 I think

I love the JM designs 20t brakevan. Probably my favourite bit of rolling stock ever made. From a standpoint of function ability, detail and 3d printing aspect

You got that model for cheap!!!! Ahh. I’d have paid foood money for a 7mm T&C loco pre built!

I can count 6 I would like to buy, but how many could I afford is another thing!!!
