Still something I’m always “thinking” of getting

Probobly another day at the office in the CCCP

The government of china will tell you otherwise!! Lol

3/4s of a grand for a locomotive that could be re-released for a third of the price…

Not entirely suprising tbh. As ye guys have said time and time again. Accurascale carry’s the buisness majorly. Let’s hope that IRM can continue to not loose so much money it becomes unjustifiable… Because if Todd andrews was in in charge….lol

When researching the CBSCR for the first time. I was astounded how little timoleague had changed since 1961.

When you look on google maps at the site. You can see how one level crossing at maam cross station itself opens up THAT amount of track I wonder will we see platforms at each end of the track…or will it just be a run around .

People who purchased murphy models products got far better value before IRM came along and made the rolling stock. I’d recommend anyone who wants these get them now. Because often the hattons 6 wheelers sell out the day of or even before release.

No there not going to be.

yes. 1 (2 the odd time) 6 wheel coaches would be placed at the end of the Railcar sets.

So your saying it left Kerry clean and came back dirty? Usually it’s the other way around

I wonder how many who only remember the railways from Ireland from there trip to the boat end up buying Irish locos and stock

If GSR 6 wheelers went ahead it means (thanks to the 00 works CBSCR Saddle tank) that a RTR Kinsale Branch Train will be possible….tell me that when I started modeling Irish and id have given ya a slap!

see below video of colour footage of a mixed GSR-CIE train in the late 40s (and for extra points the locomotive is an oil burner!) https://ifiarchiveplayer.ie/monsignor-reid-collection-castlerea-train-station/

I’d take a few GSR ones I think

The metal gantry around the signal box should be gone too

But how economical would a locomotive like that run on say runs to maynooth and back or short runs ect.

What’s worse is that I think I have it on my old phone….just never thaught to look there!

Pretty sure (can’t remember for certain) I saw a photo of a snail coming through on a wagon being scraped/re-purposed at limerick works near the end of there career

See the end of this video coincidentally uploaded a few hours ago with 112 hauling the Galway set at the very end of the video

To be honest when I saw that lorry I was going to buy it on behalf of @Patrick Davey it only cost a few euro after all. But I was under the impression that he was there on the Saturday. Lesson learned for next time! I’m in love with my van. I mean seriously there is nothing you can buy for 20 quid anymore. I’d be suprised if many of the broken wheel ones are left .

Yes it is possible that even maebh herself hauled bullied wagons past rathpeacon and on to mallow. Perhaps somone has a photo somwhere. But 801 100 percent did that kind of work

There was a haunted bridge in Dunmanway where a drunken passenger opened the door and fell through the bridge, the body was never found. It is the only bit of West Cork Mainline where the rails were kept, some say one of the reasons was because they knew twas cursed. see the below link of a photo of the bridge relitivly recently taken by the late Fred Dean
