I remember at last years show being in the line with a member of this forum watching hooded men fly out the door with bags full of dickie taras and logging on here to find what the announcement was.
The signal box was supposed to be demolished Saturday night. RPSI followers would have arived in cork Saturday evening to see the signal box only to come in Sunday and find it gone!!! However that didn’t happen so who knows when it’ll come down now…..
anyways you can see here the preparation for the new platform that was in place Saturday night
I got the phone call earlier day. Im speechless. For context to this. He elected me to the Munster Area IRRS comitee just 11 days ago. He gave a show about what he loved, the bus.
RIP
I sent a PM with my name attached so I thaught?
If somone claiming to be @westcorkrailway on the forum comes up and looks older or younger then 20 then shun them away!!!
As far as I’m aware, your looking at a (yes) concerningly high failure rate. However I suspect the chances of getting a 22k (which isint too bad) are high but if there is a delay due to a failure is the real killer
The lower section of the body (we will say the running board area) is slightly wider then the 4’8 counterpart. However if somone on this forum was going to convert one to CSE livery, I don’t think they will mind the slight difference
My “dream layput” is crossbarry in the 1960s with the catch that the kinsale branch never closed for….some reason I have yet to come up with in my head cannon.
I’ll have a look at an LNYR chassis and see if any bit can be shortend
if anyone has Drawings for an F6 I have somone who is interested in getting it 3D printed
other ivatt cab locos like the J10 might be easier. Also 4-4-2t box top could be possible with the LNYR chassis by replacing the front bogie
A kitbasher out Wesht made this out of an LNYR 2-4-2
All that was changed was the cab and the smokebox door If I was doing this myself I’d make the cab out of 3d print or brass. And tweak the dimensions a bit too (the cab is too rounded and the bumps on the running board would be easy additions)
not to mention I imagine JB wouldn’t be painting such a thing black
