    Yup. The reason they were got rid of them was a slightly non standard design next to something like a J26 the model itself just does not work. For all me and Rodrick attempts to make it work. The gears just wear themselves to naff. I suspect it’s something to do with the wheels as a pose to the worm and wheel like I previously suspected. I’ll still keep it because these locos often worked Cork-Kinsale. I don’t run models all that often anyway. It’s just a shame this model will likely never run again unless I paid for serious surgery

    will be replicating that with the earlier flying snail types

    I will be aiming for a Green one.

    From what I have heard it is indeed possible to do this as long as you have somone on the other side of the cab. of course maintaining a turntable is much cheaper then paying for a 2nd man to be there (remember these were the days where they were trying to bring costs down) to get rid of the fireman and the driver to just the driver. And it’s not like all of the cravens have to be in use either. I know that effects finances but my interpretation is diesel is cheaper to run then steam!

    Not new but they are still around on the net

    I think talk to Chris dier on Facebook. I don’t know if anyone on this parish off the top of my head who has done it but good luck

    I always though 1 Black and Tan 071 (lol) and one arrow 2600 would do nicely along with an orange 201

    Ironically lilt and the last commuter liveried 29k both went extinct around the same time I think Fanta cans compared to “cattle trucks” which is what Wikipedia said there nickname was, is slightly more humerus and I’ve actually heard people call it Fanta cans in the wild even 15 or so years after they last wore orange. Maybe one day there will be another Fanta can

    I’ll always recomend this thread which has not quite those things, but pretty close (I think if you click on the image it brings to northern blue 109s flickr with some fun and some serious “what ifs” in Ireland and beyond)

    What I meant by bad record was just LOOK at how many failures there was in 2022. I was not commenting on your book keeping in fact, this is a good easy way to keep track (infact it should be plugged into Excel to make pie charts and the like) what I’m saying is the DD’s look great, have. Lovely GM at the head, but with a record like that it’s getting easy to justify a replacement

    Where did the footbridge come from?
  14. Westcorkrailway
    I’m no expert but that’s not a great record. even with my Mark 4 bias the DDs deffinetly have a better ride and I’ll miss them when there gone. But you can’t overlook a reliability record like that….and that was in 2022, there not getting any younger!

    Tasty work!

    I think these locos were not copies but pulled out of the reject bin. So these models could be decective hence he wants them out of circulation same when a bad batch of currency gets out of the mint

    This one always seemed like an open goal for a 3D print project or a kit.
  18. Westcorkrailway
    good to hear....ive heard fanta cans and buiscuit tins purley in a saterical fashion but never cattle cars.... a thread uncovering the falsities in irish railway wikipedia would be good!
  19. Westcorkrailway
    Oh yeah the point of my previous post was a “wouldn’t it be nice if” fever dream….one could say an April fools.

    Has anyone ever called them that? somone would ought to remove that from the wiki. I’m no good at Wikipedia as I once tried to edit the cork bandon and south coast Wikipedia to remove “Clonmacsherry” as a village among a few other things and got in trouble with the citation police.

    Lovely model, shame about how they run themselves into the ground…

    I’m sure a millionaire would be able to get 90 to run down from limerick-Waterford. But that’s about it. I’d probobly spend my millions on newbuilds or restoring 6111 or something
