Is it available online somewhere? Those bulleid Railcars looked so industrial and square, some would even say ugly Or as he himself would say “another successful design”

Look at the way the snail is put on those coaches….was that done to save painting the whole coach?

Now that is really nice.

I was there back in April. Such a great resource to models in the Dublin area

It’s still in full working order I’m told. It last ran at another event in the same museum a few years back.

I was at the maritime meruseum in passage west this afternoon and they are holding a railway exhibition I spotted this locomotive to one side. A replica of the 2-4-2 locomotives that this line used to use it had a rather tragic story behind it, as seen below “In 2006 a young man & railway enthusiast, John Davies, of The Green, Passage West, commissioned this model of a CB & PR engine & carriages from an Australian model maker, unfortunately, the completed model was delivered to John's home a few days after he had sadly died. Passage West Maritime Museum wish to sincerely thank Mr Terry Davies, John's Dad, and John's sister Kelly who have kindly loaned this model to the Museum for the exhibition.” it said to have cost over 4 grand in 2006 money.

I replied in this thread that A30 was in stock?

I’m very much the same. GSWR, MGWR, CBSCR and unmarked stuff one of my sheds has so much Midland rail in it, you could probably rebuild the Achill branch in its entirety with it

If it’s any good, we’re due to have a Belfair firebox J-15 from 00 works announced later on this year excellent layout by the way

Could be worse…. you may have remembered the tour was on its way but because of a certain state exam, you’re parents wouldn’t let you leave the house

222 has 3 hours left and 0 bids Surely for 160 quid somone would be interested

Exactly this , if you buy one now, it’s garunteed to become next to worthless when the new one gets released. I would hold off and either wait for people to sell there old mk 3 DVT’s for the fraction of the price or buy the new Murphy models one.

Aye that looks like the post 55 green, but shock green dark is a different colour and might do the job….I’ll try if if I ever make coaches of that era But that combo of Halfords rattle cans is said to be “spot on” from what I’ve read

Late last year, Marks models were offering brand new CIE N class locos for far less

Now THAT ABSOLUTLY can’t go to waist. I think breaking that up would be beyond sacrilegious it’s too bad it’s based in Meath…

I think there all the same cast by the looks of the photo, understandable for a 00 gauge forklift (ie they must be very small)

use of forklifts in Albert quay cork. Loading brand new bogey fertiliser wagons (1975) if (or when!) IRM do a re-run if these wagons. I’d be tempted to recreate a scene like this!

I was searching for simular colour for f paint. Galteemores workbench thread heralds these results This paint which I found a while back looks “pretty good” although I never have tried it myself the one below is *shock dark green* 8.50 at art&hobby an actual Snail with accurate colours for reference at the malahide meuseum

Cheeky to have it in photos with coaches…..fooling no one

the era the old 071 freight livery is modelling isint as perused anymore. It’s somewhere near in-between just old enough to be too old for present Era modeling but not old enough to be nostalgic. mind you I think it’s the worst livery on the 071. But to each there own

Ray good who worked the station, and watched all the movements since he was a child is still alive and well. He’d certainly know anything in reaction to the junction presumably all that space was needed for the freight from the branch. Reports of one heavy beet season reported that sidings in clonakikty junction, ballinascarthy junction and many stations along the line were all full of beet wagons

One of the most sacrilegious things I have done….. Somone got me the classic “Smokey joe” Hornby set pre-owned as a birthday gift, I’ve never had this little set before but I’m aware it’s where many start there modelling journey So I put everything into a different CIE livery to see how it would work out All things considsidered it didn’t work out too badly considering how knackered everything was! I’ll probobly find little use for these myself. Hence the attempt of making them CIE. The other 2 coaches in the set have no real CIE equivalent the real revelation is that I have found a spray paint that almost perfectly matches 00works GSR grey. (If I knew that from the start…Smokey joe would be grey!) smokey joe in the rare CIE black….green decals from railtec’s Eau de nil coach set I’m pretty sure nothing in Ireland looked anything like this brakevan €30 vs €350!

I feel like there saving the powered one for the MRSI exhibition in October

delighted to see the layout coming along, excellent job and we can finnally see it running https://youtu.be/GZBrb1WxQPs

I heard of a kilmacthomas layout existing, with the viaduct included!
