    And then the TGV then copied CIE…

    A12 is actually green too, they just gave it a Hi-visibility jacket
  3. Westcorkrailway
    I think the red lining will actually be less prototypical (?) the transfers should hopefully be alright to find
  4. Westcorkrailway
    I have not yet seen a weathered silver A class….I cannot wait to see A30, A1 and even A42 in black weathering

    The colour of the flying snail is the same on the coaches as it is the tender.
  6. Westcorkrailway
    No. They had one with litterall “titfield thunderbolt” written all over it…

    “I can’t believe its not lion” set was officially revolked a few days ago…it’s one of the most bonkers moves I’ve seen a company pull in a while. unfortunately. If I want to get a Ruston 88DS I’ll have to go via Hornby. Luckily for us exclusively Irish models. Our catalogue is quality models all around (albeit the 2nd hand market is less healthy aside from a few notable exceptions)

    Presumably there must be something under that sign. As that seems to be the crossroads that was a crossing in the above picture

    If I’m not mistaken, much of the land was not worth re-claiming hence why it’s survived the years so well.
  10. Westcorkrailway
    When funds allow. I’ll get a BnT 141 of some sort. But the problem is I know for a fact that loco will go for much more then €143 in the end
  11. Westcorkrailway
    A39R is the last one to sell out….again
  12. Westcorkrailway
    A39R, A3R, A46….the whole gang of “going for stupid prices on eBay” are here people better not complain after this!
  13. Westcorkrailway
    A perfect transition model for those willing to take there first step into big gauge
  14. Westcorkrailway
    Possibly by penrose quay, or perhaps that was done in the north esk?
  15. Westcorkrailway
    Gouldings was loaded in Cork from the former Albert quay Terminus. Which didn’t close long after these wagons were introduced.
  16. Westcorkrailway
    Is it an easy process removing the pallets and puttin on the IFI decals? Living in a farm myself here. They do look class!
  17. Westcorkrailway
    Nope….as far as I could see, you’d have to go to the uk website and pay the customs
  18. Westcorkrailway
    So effectively a mixed goods train…that’s pretty cool by the way isn't it mad that this is a “small announcement” nowadays. Wagons everyone wanted back, fixed of any previous issues and now at less then the price Bachmann sell small 4 wheel goods vans for per wagon …. If so, plenty more small announcements chaps….

    You can see even here in the thumbnail of this video, Black and Tan and ferts do make sense im oh so very tempted to buy the earliest pack. Probobly the last wagons that ever got onto West Cork Tracks (technically speaking anyways) skip to the middle of this video for a higher quality digitisation of the first video
  20. Westcorkrailway
    So if we’re that desperate, we can order from the uk website and take the customs with a heavy heart
  21. Westcorkrailway
    Would any of these livery types be the earliest livery. IE the ones used in Albert quay
  22. Westcorkrailway
    Or perhaps they mean more crossovers…mk3, mk1…LMS compound….Jinty…….N class Over-analysis is what we do!
  23. Westcorkrailway
    Me thinks the model show in October we will find out when that big day is… I am one of those people who resort to a layout on the floor, albeit a layout on a wooden floor but still. I think it’s a good idea to run on the “worst case scenario” layout to see how locos hold up from different manufacturers
  24. Westcorkrailway
    I may look through the internet for one When we’re these withdrawn? We’re they turned into intermediate power cars or did the reach another fate. I cannot recall seeing one in the Black and Tan livery
  25. Westcorkrailway
    Reminded me of this clip from the show Heartbeat when an enthusiast stole “Vera lynn”
