Typo! Departed to cork at 19:15. 4 trains a day all of them through services to Cork. 2 of them mixed, one passenger and one Clayton

Just having a read of a journal I picked up today, included a section from the 1st of July 1929, which includes Clayton railcar only working which arrived at Clonakilty at 19:03 and departed from Cork at 19:15.

If you read between the lines, this station will be as temporary as “docklands” and once the darts begin to arrive in numbers they will probobly look at implementing a passenger service

Yes that is the story the finder came to as well

I’ve seen GSWR ones found in the Youghal line!

It’s actually motorised already, it’s a mater of adjusting the chassis. But that’s a bit beyond my capabilities at the moment

470 (more or less) finished for now, a little comparison between my GSR grey and 00 Works GSR grey

Well the tram lines means it’s between like, 1898 and 1931. I would hazard a guess this is towards the older end of the scale

Would have been handy aye, there’s a tenner in it if you posted them my way?

There was a bit of toothbrushing and such the like to get it ready. But satin grey has bought it into its own. just get the buffer beams right and it’s a matter of maybe a bit of detailing and hopefully Dez can provide some transfers Again, very thankful for the loco! I’d never be able to get something to this standard

As things progress tonight on static “470” unfortunatly I have misplaced my Bandon tank transfer sheet, anyone got Dez’s new email?

I feel bad for eBay people, cause at Wexford show you’ll get this stuff for a good 100-200 euro below!

Some beautiful photos in there, never seen em before

A rant im eagerly invested in, after our A Class Roof chat

Latest addition sees a studio scale Models Bandon tank. This one was don’t by a member of this forum and has a thread from many years ago on here somehere in its construction Bandon tanks have 3 variants -As built -GSR rebuild -CIE retrograde (refuted with original firebox and smokebox but retain wide windows) the only loco to stay “as Built” into the 1950s was no.470. Which kept her original saturated boiler and round top firebox. The loco worked up to the end of the West Cork, being withdrawn in 1961. 470 also ventured to the DSER at one stage while plans to produce a ready to run Bandon tank for the masses is still underway, it’s always nice to have a few of them around!

Just in case members aren’t aware (because I have accidentally gatekept sources before) There is som very nice photographs on this guys Flickr page, these are a taster check albums “Irish broad gauge” and “Irish narrow gauge”

Not an easy walk to the venue from Wexford North, a good half hour up hill

A purchase thanks to @Georgeconna. Will be painted as 470. Expanding my stream fleet to quite a number now. When my 800 is delivered it will joint 464, 470, 475, 479 and 90.

Somone can deffo photoshop that… kind of a call back to the Brown of GSWR days

Was a very popular layout at the Swap meet, I enjoyed watching trains at scale speed from my table

Could possibly have been a child or a cat or anything!

Many years of headache finally being sorted watching you do this research…. At this stage you could do a documentary with those documentary resources!

I heard from that There was even scale models made up to demonstrate the livery

It was painted into a darker green since!
