  1. There is an awful lot of calls asking for a new build J26 but WHO is gonna pay for that. And something I’ve learned with the mark 2 situation is not all coaches are equal in the eyes of the mechanic. Most suggesting a 6 wheeler would be easier to restore!
  2. Fair enough, although I suppose that’s bad news for 6111 (I guess I’ll have to drive up the downpatrick every weekend personally for that one )
  3. One thing is for sure….you possibly would have had a very large pool of spares Dundrum would have been some distance and that sounds like…quite a steep gradient. The little G class would have no chance Where was the SLNCR railcar that time?
  4. Humbrol don’t really tell anyone about the cancer causing agent in there paint until the new EU rule came in and suddenly stopped it. Even marks models were supprised to find they were given little notice that they couldn’t sell it anymore… cosches look deadly. Particularly in Green
  5. Do you know the story JHB or is that something you need a few pints in you to explain first I do not mind them so much at all. I was never a fan of the recently gone “claas” green and blue. Obviously the orange livery is the most fun…Albiet unsafe for modern standerds
  6. The theory at the moment is that when the new darts land (2026)…..the 29ks will be sent to cork to work this new service. I don’t think it will mean the end of the road for the 2600 class though
  7. Recent photos suggest this model could have a chassis built in. in which case. I’d almost be tempted to cancel my hattons pre order!
  8. even a dunce like me who uses nothing more then reverse tweezers and a sink tap full of moderately warm tap water can use em
  9. Might be a good zoom to discuss the viability of any railway into the future
  10. My marks models receipt from the time says €120 I think….must investigate that one
  11. Stradbally is one stop from portlaoise. On one of the bus services. So take the train to portlaoise from Dublin or cork
  12. Didn’t know maebh did mainline runs with GSR coaches???
  13. something more familiar on the workbench. this coach was free! But it has no bogeys (those ones are from an identical model and I removed the under coach bit). The green is much more accurate but the lining is a bit worse! To thick altogether but hey, it was free and experimentation is good
  14. A very SWB 6 wheeler might be something I very need!
  15. It isn’t the most clear picture in the world. But rhid must be down by cork shed. The way the grass bank is in the backround and the engines 100 and the midland tank.
  16. There is no RTR C Class from IRM yet. So I’d try get a A class in supertrain
  17. Yeah I’d probobly just swap it
  18. from the USA it seems. I think the seller saw other MM products and got excited these cost 30-40 at the model show!
  19. I’d like to think the report is published with a map and description of the Letterkenny to derry line that just stops at the border
  20. Never ever had it, nor have seen it in stores for years
  21. Spotted that one…..unbelievable to me that colour footage of pre-emergency railways in Ireland exist
  22. That’s Evan Kelly, he has been trying to sell that Mogul on all the Facebook groups. I suppose it would sell on eBay…eventually…

  24. Yes there isint actually anything between the chassis spacing it apart. one side has the pickups that mayner was referring too. I must look at what peices I do have and see what I can come up with to complete the chassis the motor it came with is well knackered, beyond repair. Again a static display would be a good outcome for this chassis in particular
  25. No footplate either….all I seem to have is enough to make a cab!
