  1. By far the most likely being the GNR class JT. Perhaps the sulzer as well. BCDR 30 an outside shout perhaps
  2. @BosKonay can you confirm or deny a MGWR 4-4-0 in the next day 10 years to save GSR 800 some time!
  3. 801 Maca pulled sugar beet trains to mallow! A rake which included IRM bullied and GSR plank wagons. Also the rake I have on cine film has @leslie10646’s GSWR van (thank god I have one pre ordered!)
  4. You could work Bantry like youghal (which in theory it could and in my opinion should have been) where Mixed goods work up to the 1973 and excursion and beet working until the mid 80s perhaps
  5. Seeing things like supertrain mark 2s on the layout is quite something, considering I’m used to seeing 6 wheelers and laminates
  6. Of all the greenways in this country, it’s by far the most likely to re-open…
  7. You could go to Midleton and walk to youghal! I’ll be aboard anyway.
  8. It’s a pretty good match, but it’s not perfect. It’s too dark for the lighter green and too light for the darker green. Colour was emerald green from memory
  9. Here was my attempt a couple of years ago. it was on some cheap LMS coach from hattons.
  10. Yes. These are different. And there was a 3rd one for Inchicore open day 1995. How many would buy these liveries though? I see only the one worn at mallow/fermoy being of any nostalgia for people - and that’s a very select few
  11. These almost deserving of there own thread Excellent stuff
  12. 100 is not different enough I suspect to be a whole new tooling. From memory the side tanks are different. Anything else?
  13. As it turns out upon thinking. 90 wouldn’t at all be the worst pick. with 1, maybe 2 GSWR liveries, GSR livery, gsr without plate and CIE black (probobly preparing for a fight with that one!) The loco would make for a suitible shunter on grey and green layouts and even a primary loco on small layout working freight and passenger traffic on a light railway of sorts we can’t forget of course. 90 ran on the mainline in the 1990s which allows a “Westrail” livery to be quite attractive to those modeling the 1990s IE layouts
  14. Thank you meathdane. I had been trying for many months to get somone to buy it. And many times I thought I had a buyer only for that not to happen. Nothing makes me happier, my favourite layout ever produced on this website lives on!
  15. This Cathal Deasy chap. If I were to guess he would like a certain 4-6-0t. Unlikely as it is. Anything that ran south of the river lee will do! @jhb171achill if you don’t spill the beans I will paint my CIE green hattons coaches so that the Eau De Nil is now yellow (not even straw coloured) and paint the roof of my coaches light grey and if that Dosent work, all my locos are going to be in Donegal red with black domes consider yourself warned
  16. Turlogh cott folder on IRRS Flickr has good ones too Camo with High vis is that right?
  17. fascinating collection. Keep posting Was gunning for a Kent sign. They aged well for some reason
  18. Flying snail and points were much better imo!
  19. This bag which I got recently, maybe from the 1990s (?) still has the broken wheel as your say
  20. There quite a nice railway memorabilia as they were a part of the station and the train! Always on the lookout for a ballinhassig-Crossbarry one myself. They seem oddly numerous
  21. Thr signal poles you found are “railway staffs” what a treasure trove you did indeed find. Hopefully preserved thanks to you and your buddy but your right. An awful lot of stuff gets thrown out
  22. Roundell was in use for longer. 24 years very 16-20 years (depending on if you count DUTC)
