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?

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.

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!

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

Oh…..oh yes Those photos were taken many years ago too ….

Bogies being swaped for ITG spares and it’s due to be part of a meuseum

Your able to see it. Just get the right permission first https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/9317-c202/

our train was delayed at least half an hour too maybe 45 minutes

Must have been Almost 12 months ago. At this stage I could find the dates

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

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

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.

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

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

I noticed on the project status page there was these photos on the bullied section. Although I thought I had just missed the announcement!
