    It’s what we get for calling the 29000 rubbish!!!
  2. Westcorkrailway
    Cork based railtours are guaranteed sucess (no bias at all )
  3. Westcorkrailway
    It’s possible…though the black front ends would be a bit of a saftey issue. Perhaps seeing that livery again might only be possible in preservation….however worth pointing out that I’ve heard of something through sources regarding not only Retro 2600…but possibly a 201 as well

    It’s been done….however most people do it as a “what if” rather then a full on model…. take a look at this album on flicker

    There were days where so much beet was coming out of west cork every siding from courtmacsherry to Clonakilty junction. Was packed full of wagons

    They will be €250 I suspect. But at least that is better then current prices Pre-owned

    I think when you click on an image in the thread and press to the left or right of the screen it goes through the photos in that thread…while not fast it does an ok job?

    While they are facilitating the pre orders for this run, it’s been hinted at that they might not have access to the tooling for future runs…and that a certain other company Does

    I didn’t see this email…glad I seen it now
  10. Westcorkrailway
    Superb news

    As of half an hour ago. Hattons website as stopped taking orders and the physical store is now closed. how will the pre orders work for the coaches?
  12. Westcorkrailway
    Keep in mind the curve may now be even tighter or at least modified to accommodate the greenway
  13. Westcorkrailway
    Some positive news for January 2024!
  14. Westcorkrailway
    Give it a GSWR saloon smokebox doors and an ivatt boxtop cab, and repaint it grey! anyways 5t I’m reliably told from an early member of the WSVR that the curve to get the line under the road and alongside the greenway is too tight for the likes of 5t and possibly sleive callan too

    As my colleague says, Those who say “the Good old days” have never opened a history book. Perhaps this is why in Ireland the 1960s era layout with Black and Tan ect. Is really the earliest mainstream Irish modelling goes. There is the odd 50s thing and some GSR stuff but generally it starts around the 60s saw this yoke in my YouTube recommended. The tender is all wrong but what else would have to be changed….splashers? Nameplates?

    Considering there will soon be 7 car sets by themselves. It wouldn’t surprise me
  17. Westcorkrailway
    They were supposed to be disposed of…..but as we can see. That did not happen
  18. Westcorkrailway
    Mr Paddy murphy himself has spoken about these models aperenrly these are sub standard rejects from the factory. They should not be on the market
  19. Westcorkrailway
    Being in Kent station in weather like this is truly commendable Alex duggan caught a gorgeous photo of it passing the steam crane in mallow
  20. Westcorkrailway
    Yes I saw the same photo and also thought the same photo (c) dermot Hopkins

    I never got anything from the sale after. Probobly will regret it but my model taste was to reeled in to take serious interest in anything. I should have probobly ordered another genesis coach or two though
  22. Westcorkrailway
    I have seen 112 hauling Galway coaches where 1 or 2 were in a different orange livery im pretty sure mixing them in was a semi standerd practice. There was an ITG tour that did the same
  23. Westcorkrailway
    I would suspect it’s tough luck with this one. Infairness it opens a whole can of worms where 10 years down the line somone could “claim” there box was just opened and the loco never ran. also worth noting that claims like this would cost either time and/or money which Would be better spend elsewhere it’s just part of the process when buying these locos early unfortunately
  24. Westcorkrailway
    Even so. I’ve only heard one 121 going across the city railway. And even then they only made it as far as ballyphehane!
  25. Westcorkrailway
    Yeah as far as I know it was certainly possible for the grey 121 to do such a thing but it would have been quite a rare occurrence if it did happen. Worth pointing out the above is only relevent to the light green/black n tan coaches. I reckon there was very little to no chance a 121 ever had an excuse to haul around a livery that was almost extinct by the time of there introduction
