Been often told the same thing DJ. In fact I had a chat arguably the man responsible for the change of colour, the head of IE when green Was introduced. Years of the trains being dirty late and unreliable had cast a poor image on the nance CIE which lived in to the livery virtually never changing since the 1960s and 1970s. Besides many still claim that CIE splitting up was possibly the first steps of a possible privatisation attempt like the uk anyway! think about it. Before the Dart there was the CIE push pull sets. Lovely to look at but anyone who actually traveled on them will tell you yhe 8100s Completley changed the game. And the new branding contributed to its success differintiating from CIE (some would say that stands for Cycling is easier!) and the push pull sets that preceded them At least we have the retro livery 071 and 073….and possibly more time come I suppose 112 counts as retro too

If cork is getting 29s then the re-flooring and intirior has to be almost gutted! Long live the mark 4s. There not perfect but there my favourite!

One would assume that A: direct copy’s of others work would be frighteningly obvious and B: 3D printing still has many years to go before it could say, replicate a product even half faithfully would be quite hard. Let’s just say I don’t know if a 3D printed A class is around the corner

Albert quay 1929.

Any suitible chassis for even a just a 3d print of the shell?

i wonder would something like this be a genuinly viable product. there are plenty of people who need garden sheds and im sure that this shed differenciates it a lot form the competition for the regular consumer making it cool. im not a garden shed enthusiast though!

the simple fact is that rare protototpyes of wagons particularly are now way more viable. for instance somone who makes one Cork bandon and south coast railway grain wagon in times past would have scratch built 1 or 2 just for himself and at most could offer at most drawings to somone interested in one themsleves. the difference is now that making 1 is just as easy as making 100. with locomotives its still very much comparible to a scratchbuilding job if no suitibe chassis is availible. but with wagons all you need is standerd wheels and standerd couplers and some paint handy and your off. there might come a time where the "drawings"section of this website might start containing CAD drawings or even 3D models ready to print if people were generous enough!!!!

You know it’s bad where even I would be reluctant to buy a model of a Cork-Bandon loco

The top pic is like The Inchicore sound barrier

Oh that’s all…or even trialing it in Albert quay. Whatever the case, like the Clayton railcars on the west cork. A very short lived experiment!

They must have been south of the river lee at least once....

There are a few options at the moment Murphy models had the Mogul Marks models are doing the Hornby jinty in UTA livery Bachmann did a An NCC jinty mid your willing to splash the cash there is 00 works locomotives such as the J15 variants around then there is all the stuff that could be kit built ect.

Superb

After a thorough investigation it was found that driver error was a major contributing factor in the accident and recomends the points be replaced The real 226 is not too far from south Waterford

Which 2 liveries are exclusive to one locomotive?

Possibly already being developed….. Very nice

The greystones thing is a little ridiculous though

You will have to PM him or send an email to the above adress for a quote.

Few people would have the money and the liathróidí to cut up a perfectly good model for something as sure as a C class

I think he had the rigging before but wants to improve. Will ask will ask this also.

3D print 22’ flat model is another thing is working on, as of tonight they really good

I love the natural light in this photo

the bandon tanks and no.90s will now be made mark dunlea….with a third steam loco currently in the planning stage…a GSWR F6 to fit on LNYR 2-4-2 chassis

I know where they can get dimensions…. https://preserved.railcar.co.uk/RB002.html?fbclid=IwAR3y2AeXx-8gZwqFaEqxfo5syJrCmOCyzAkrPr_E7ov-Iy1I2ldsGLA75Ns_aem_AS8Dz_oDDEOgwQX5krh59ix8KC2Icx83SDv01y3YaLHO_gvq1CJN0hP-jv-EcO5qUXU

An Irish locomotive leaving a meuseum going to wales….I bet you won’t see half the wibble when the reverse happened !!!
