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 . These are available to purchase online now and will be in all the shops from tomorrow Wednesday. Click on the link below to purchase now.

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!!!

It was even suggested that muskerry and CBPR were to be linked cork city railways style by the tram network. Not sure if anything was ever moved in this way though

For those on the tour. It was hularious watching jaws drop (particularly in Dublin) ir just the pure confusion on peoples faces as we went past

The arrow livery is perhaps the only livery one can be nostalgic for even if you don’t remember the era or simply were not born! It’s so 1990s

Today was the first day an arrow livery railcar went down the Midleton line

Some of my images of the Times Arrow Railtour. One which had achieved the rank amongst my favourites, maybe even my favourite Passing where the loop once was. And where the new platform will be awaiting departure on 5 Trolly service on a 2 car 26! Richie lee gifting himself something for his birthday no doubt while held up outside Limerick, some fellow gricers started accumulating around the train…. Thurles the invited guests in question being signatories from tokyu car….including somone who designed 2600s Driver Ken fox making sure no one didn’t accidentally board this train, displaying many random locations throughout the country a shot of the railcar roof 30 years old vs 41 years old the lotto building bought and audible gasp in the railcar a comfy reliable train, next to a DD set in Dundalk Malahide A sneaky headboard application…. Heuston At the end of day 1 day 2, off from the military platform Cobh now, and with kind permission from HQ, the Munster area headboard goes on The left excellent Team that staffed the tour migration across the footbridge Terminus of the tour, platform 5 Kent “dineen dairies” “2601 pints of milk”

Thankfully Thurles number 4 spent 20 odd years pulling a CIE Bullied open, CIE 234A EX WLWR and a CIE 30 tonne van up and down a track less then 300 meters in length.

Yes, but at the point (if you look at the RPSI website for instance) it had been painted a few times but the above is pretty good
