    Your right. If regular engines could be converted to hydrogen with relitive ease on tractors, trucks or even cars. It would cut out the huge proportion of co2 burned in producing a new engine while making current engines last a little bit longer as well as be great for the environment

    I still have a feeling that farmers will much easier fall to a second hand tractor then these yokes. One of Our tractors cost 60k in 2005, 45 was offered for it after nearly 20 years labour. I should be going up, will check

    The red coach (if not the whole train) was used in lifting the west cork line a few years later

    On an old episode of top gear I remember how Indian dinners were a subscription service and were delivered by train

    CIE light green and dark green….can be hard to make up. Would be nice if somone just made a standerd pot of “CIE green paint” like hattons or IRM. if you want tips on CIE green put “CIE green paint Irish railway modeller” into google and I’m sure various threads with various awnsers will come up. With passage green it’s a bit harder. A CBPR coach on original livery was found in 1969 and is recorded in colour on the IRRS archive. Problem is by that stage the liver and crest were WELL faded. In any case any sort of “dark green” will do as who is going to correct you!

    I think, certainly with the age of farmers here and certain loyalties those have with certain brands may lead this one to blow over some 50 percent of the tractors sold here are between 3 brands

    Funny enough it looks more grey rather then black in that picture. But If it’s 464 it’s probobly black alright from 1961 till withdrawal in 1963

    The problem with these areas mentioned. Bandon, skibbereen, Clonakilty, bantry, dunmanway. It’s that it’s very hard to make a line including every one of them without branchlines. Also. It seems this rail review would have easily knocked youghal out but because youghal and west cork have greenway projects currently in development. It’s hard to say weather that played a factor. greenways are the future for the west cork until at least 2050/60 by which stage I will be nearing retirement!

    It might be hattons overestimating how many they were actually gonna get from MM…I have heard they have done that before it’s either that or they were straight up canceled? I could have sworn there were pre production samples at raheeny last October does anyone have a screenshot of the email?
