I’m right in saying they were cheaper at the show? hey at least I didn’t want any more then I got at the show 14 minutes is not time…

That’s good news for me if anything! I have heard a few good things about this book, meant to buy it ages ago…must be some content in it

The one above is the circa 2021 softback version. It won’t fall apart like your hardback version!

Aye but this message comes up when I attempt to approach to contact the seller

arrived today with PLENTY of packaging, and failed to mention the CBSC book was signed thanks @iarnrod

Might I remind you of GWR 3803 County of CORK ahem

Did I hear Cork Bandon and south coast railway Baldwin tank engines.

Not my era but I have to admit these looks good.

Never thought about it but he is right, the NEM coupling is really the only universal thing exclusive to models and not the real thing. I actually this people would like this for there model rooms! When are we getting a massive Kadee coupling then…

I’ve been looking for a copy of this book as obviously it seems like a useful tool for modelling purposes particularly West Cork. I purchased the GSWR one on accident after being told they were “the same book but expanded”. Obviously this isn’t the case. Just in case anyone has any surplus to requirements thanks

Fran will be busy with the “reject” stamp…..

IRM is making us cement our eras! tbf say if you exclusivly model CIE-IE of those new announcements only 3-5 should be IE…with room for stuff newer and stuff older (maybe a CB&SCR 4 wheel coach withdrawn during the emergency ) and now NIR modeling is getting a larger base. There is a few people who want/can afford overlapping lots of era’s or every era but that isn’t most people

Don’t mind me doing sacrilegious acts to this brand new fert wagon all I need is another white pack of pallets and I’ll be all good to go

I think so. Now I think I’ve seen photos of 6 wheel coaches but my mind could easily be tricking me. Could have even been an Ex 6 wheeler turned 4 wheeler Went looking on flicker out of curiosity and sooner found a bandon tank pushing a Black and Tan laminate coach with 2nd class written on the doors and a bandon tank shunting a UTA coach before I found anything other then short bogeys in the courtmac section

Something I heard from my sources in East cork is that the laying of the Youghal greenway has caused a TB nightmare due to badgers being displaced. imagine if that happened in a hypothetical Kenmare Greenway…

Some really good books here for very decent prices. I would have gotten more but….unfortunatly I already have 2 copies of Ernie’s CBSC book and 2 copies of pattersons CBSC book! Thanks for the swift communication @iarnrod

I just got my book today after a hoot bit of waiting. I thought perhaps a few pages wouldn’t hurt even though my assignments are due! (I’ll actually review it when I get the chance to read it properly) a little sneak peak of what’s to come for those who have ordered and not yet received. there are about 15 or so pages like this in the book where 2 pages will hold just one photograph! Reminder if your In cork on December 3rd Myself, Chris Larkin and Ray Good will be holding the boom launch during cork model swap meet at 12:00. With book signings of course being part of it. If you are further west there will be a slideshow presentation on November 27th in Gaggin community hall….more dates to come for west corkians as mentioned before.

Fun fact. Every single nameboard on the west cork railway has survived…..except for bandon! Which curiously escaped preservation last time it was seen was at the very very end of Brian bakers film on the subject where 2 of them are lying on the floor of Albert quay platform with rails that had been lifted. As far as I’m concerned they have disappeared since

Now you have me thinking how easy that would be to pull off… Could 3d print or build a bogey with bogey frames. The footstep on a bogey coach would also be difficult to get right however

Dead donkey does not have the same catch as the flying snail does it….

I just sold my Silverfox Railcars. They took an awful lot of work to get working. at least the roof was black form @jhb171achill! (And for myself tbh). All that money has been re-invested in those 6 wheelers though

I’ll give it a go, not sure these are liveries as they are variants GNR blue UTA blue NTA green pre 55 green CIE green CIE green with numbers on doors CIE green with wasp stripes on roof the wazza CIE Black and Tan CIE Black and Tan push pull dvt CIE Black and Tan with the blacked out windows possibly a maroon livery after? I’m not sure when the northern ones went out of use
