Westcorkrailway

i got my 2 packs on Saturday. The problem is there was only 4 left when I got there……all of which were pack D. so now I have 2 pack D’s, do eventually I’m gonna have to find Someone one else with a duplicate pack!

If only tara mines knew they could get A 75 percent discount if they lost a few extra supports

Somone made a great point that if you had the origional box, put them in that box and pass them off as the origionals ffs

I must say it was comical seeing lads go to the show, buy the discounted wagons and leave. I arrived at 11 and multiple people had already stocked themselves with wagons and left….at 11 on the dot!

The brand new Daimler fire truck, Mark 2s and upgraded 141s all there Mark 3s are a bit hard to produce between suburban styles ect. 201s are also still in pipeline, details need to be finalised however There was also a ladder at the side?

The Cork special train is just pulling into harmonstown now. I hope there isisnt a que the weather is desperate

How many of those will be gone after this weekend I wonder

It went from halfway-Rathpeacon-Inchicore works and some day to Maam cross when it’s been fixed! I was also inticed to learn of get another failed West Cork railway heritage project. Which this stock would have been involved in had it gone ahead (considering there is a good chance all that rolling stock ran on the Ex-CBSC, and the Ruston dealt with west cork wagons almost everyday in mallow, makes sense) unfortunately it never did….I may go into further detail on s desperate thread

I’m not sure anything of that type would have survived into 2022 I have a Circa 2022 photo of it somewhere, I just can’t remember where…

I was talking to a fella who would often come home from the UK via Northern Ireland and drove the backroad out as far as Dromod and enniskillen to get down to cork undisturbed back in the days when that skill was *kof* practiced by many *kof*

Update straight from the source for those wondering the CIE green bus that was once located here has now been permanently moved. I don’t know Where but hopefully a good home. The Ruston was moved along with the bulleid beet wagon to rathpeacon, and then onto where it is today. the 6 wheel coach has been moved to a secret location within cork, I understand it’s in quite good shape with a very good owner. (And as a coach that worked in West Cork, I’d love to see it again). the brakevan had moved to a location halfway up the country. While I can’t disclose anything I took this photo out the top window of the bus as a child, I never thaught the bus was going anywhere! it even had my favourite livery. The last time I saw it there was earlier this year… the track started just in front of this Ruston. I’m told it was mechanically very good. cosmetically not so good. The end of the track, what was only supposed to be a temporary set up anyway….to think there was a heritage railway at my doorstep. And I was just a few years too late to take advantage of it

Certainly feels like that now Tis a shame there is engineering works on the cork line this weekend, makes things difficult

No, it was corkonian after many pints! imagine me trying to find Palmerston tommorow!

0700 to Dublin, luas, dart to Palmerstown. Plenty of time for grub then get the Dart back to Tara street and get the bus home…at either 4 or 8 o clock.

Top tip: If your on DC. Use one of these sheets for your controller

I’m looking forward to the announcements more then anything…other then those Tara’s, I don’t see myself buying anything…unless there are some “green and grey” era stuff (as @jhb171achill has christened it) I won’t be interested in a whole pile. I’d like to see what tailte tours are up to next, see these murphy’s toolings ect. besides I can’t afford to be throwing 1000 euro at some models….well the bandon tanks are an exception to the rule

so even hattons are scalping Irish stuff!?!?

I recommend if you’d like some more info you can read the thread below. the very start and the very end have the most info. Much of which is from reliable sources. And not just your average internet rumours. @Warbonnetcorrectly pointed out that the mark 2s would be the first to be produced PM usually does not tend to update the website a lot and usually announced things this way.

Great news. I’ll look on in interest I think IFM make some of these vans now, I’ve been meaning to see if he would make a sample in silver

When was that, the early 2000s 201 or the early 2010s upgraded version?

Me hopes the same! But probobly in a slightly different way This photo on eBay from railway images uk contains some familiar coaching stock and a certain loco that’s id like to see in the near future however it’s been hinted at it might not be one of these, but plenty of other Blue (or in my case green) things it could possibly be

I had to do the same thing if it’s any consultation!

Which means either demand has gone up, or scalpers love to scalp, or a combination of both I’d like to think that it’s the demand!
