Aye usuallly when I’m searching for a model to find I end up here…usually just laught at what there selling ….seems to be of Egyptian origin

I think postage was big alright. Double digits or something like that. Plus an post made me pay customs….which I definitely was not expecting

He must be REALLY reluctant to sell… Edit: turns out he is, and I can understand a bit more

Because the bargains are usually sold before they ever touch this thread!

I have gotten a few bargains from www.collectireland.com last month

Fantastic news

In West Cork, you’d sometimes have a race horse put onto a lone cattle wagon and sent away up to X race or to be sold. Would have been VIP cargo!

Tom Ryan’s YouTube channel does have some Gems such as that one It seems like kent station is going to. Become a very popular indeed. Recently saw a plan for an Albert quay layout around 1958 when it was also cork bus station as Parnell place was being constructed

Schull was a station that took fish traffic (although in this case it would be in the wrong gauge for David to model) I’m sure most other narrow gauge railways like the west Clare, T&D and railways of Donegal had fish traffic? The only other place that could have had fish traffic is that place north of ballina….can’t think of the name

Oh boy…

because the chocolate used in it was cheap and the bar was quite expensive for the time most people ended up buying cadburys and a bag of taytos which was better value recently came across an old kitkat bar with Irish rail branding and advertising from 1992

On the CBSC…Courtmacsherry comes to mind, as does kinsale (closed 1931) which both took fish traffic and would be shorter then the pier extension @Andy Cundick has done a 7mm layout of courtmacsherry that’s ABSOLUTLY sublime mother then that. I’m not sure where else on CIE rails was fish traffic big….possibly valentia? Fenit?

Baltimore railway station building is in tact but now derelict. In Use until about 2016 or some time like that. A later CBSC red brick building like creagh and Bandon (high level) the shed you see below was once an engine shed but sold to the yacht club. Original C&B rails ran out of this shed until 2004! I have a photo somehere of Baltimore station building with period posters and of course….fresh and pristine paintwork a Baltimore mixed train would be easy to make up. A unique running on the Baltimore line was timber for the boat building that went on next door (a tradition that continues today) I would add the timber and maybe a hattons 6 wheeler to the train, maybe a few less open wagons and different types of vans and it would be perfect for motive power there is few options. a great mix of GSWR, DSER and WWLR ran the branch before being taken over by C class locomotives entirly. AEC railcars went out there for the Baltimore regatta. The A class were to heavy for the Illen river bridge so never ventured this far south

Baltimore would be an interesting one in regards to this one. A small (enough!) terminus with a small extension out the pier (the most southerly bit of rail in Ireland) for fish traffic. Although it closed in 1961, has potential and I haven’t seen it done

No I don’t have the photo. Although I do wonder if this loco was working out the skibbereen and Baltimore or Clonakilty branch would it have been well photographed or noted at all.

Yellow/orange buffer beams on a C class? Didn’t know about those Recently while surfing through a private collection I came across is a photograph of C234 With a flying snail on the side….all I was told was was told they weren’t there long before they started cracking due to the heat (they were not metal snails like the A class) I couldn’t find another photo of this variation on any other loco nevermind C234….possibly a “republic of glanmire road job” as you call it

For how long did the livery last/is there any photos, particular colour photos on the internet/IRRS flicker? I have been told of a few other wierd livery variations recently yet struggled to find photos of these variations at the moment

There often is somone going away at the piano. It does improve the atmosphere of the station.

I’m not sure the same official email announcement went out about the 141s. As the physical announcement got the word out there regardless…. I wonder somone should enquire to PM about running social media pages….possibly?

If you look at @scahalane’s example, I believe that’s meant to be a blend of the late 80s to the early 2000s he might be able to provide a no.36 3d print which I believe was in situ in Kent since 1955(?) I think the roof was painted geeen as a post to the current grey scheme

What era will kent Stanton be?

Ids say there may have been a few A’s in black an tan post 1962. Just without the re-engine so the “R” variants wouldn’t have been around

You got approval from the master of building kent himself……
