  1. the simple fact is that rare protototpyes of wagons particularly are now way more viable. for instance somone who makes one Cork bandon and south coast railway grain wagon in times past would have scratch built 1 or 2 just for himself and at most could offer at most drawings to somone interested in one themsleves. the difference is now that making 1 is just as easy as making 100. with locomotives its still very much comparible to a scratchbuilding job if no suitibe chassis is availible. but with wagons all you need is standerd wheels and standerd couplers and some paint handy and your off. there might come a time where the "drawings"section of this website might start containing CAD drawings or even 3D models ready to print if people were generous enough!!!!
  2. You know it’s bad where even I would be reluctant to buy a model of a Cork-Bandon loco
  3. The top pic is like The Inchicore sound barrier
  4. Oh that’s all…or even trialing it in Albert quay. Whatever the case, like the Clayton railcars on the west cork. A very short lived experiment!
  5. They must have been south of the river lee at least once....
  6. There are a few options at the moment Murphy models had the Mogul Marks models are doing the Hornby jinty in UTA livery Bachmann did a An NCC jinty mid your willing to splash the cash there is 00 works locomotives such as the J15 variants around then there is all the stuff that could be kit built ect.
  7. After a thorough investigation it was found that driver error was a major contributing factor in the accident and recomends the points be replaced The real 226 is not too far from south Waterford
  8. Which 2 liveries are exclusive to one locomotive?
  9. Possibly already being developed….. Very nice
  10. The greystones thing is a little ridiculous though
  11. You will have to PM him or send an email to the above adress for a quote.
  12. Few people would have the money and the liathróidí to cut up a perfectly good model for something as sure as a C class
  13. I think he had the rigging before but wants to improve. Will ask will ask this also.
  14. 3D print 22’ flat model is another thing is working on, as of tonight they really good
  15. the bandon tanks and no.90s will now be made mark dunlea….with a third steam loco currently in the planning stage…a GSWR F6 to fit on LNYR 2-4-2 chassis
  16. I know where they can get dimensions…. https://preserved.railcar.co.uk/RB002.html?fbclid=IwAR3y2AeXx-8gZwqFaEqxfo5syJrCmOCyzAkrPr_E7ov-Iy1I2ldsGLA75Ns_aem_AS8Dz_oDDEOgwQX5krh59ix8KC2Icx83SDv01y3YaLHO_gvq1CJN0hP-jv-EcO5qUXU
  17. An Irish locomotive leaving a meuseum going to wales….I bet you won’t see half the wibble when the reverse happened !!!
  18. Ah I wouldn’t stress…one will come at one stage or another, as the A class did eventually… And now with suitible rolling stock ready for it (NIR mark 2s, bullied triangulated chassis wagons, Park Royal’s, 6 wheel coaches and so on) compared to when the B121 and A class locos were launched when every early 60s bit of rolling stock had to be kitbuilt, scratchbuilt, converted or those Bachmann coaches from years ago!
  19. I wonder did anyone end up biting on RB3…
  20. In the 1950s they may have been new but already put to use on the beet trains among other mixed trains. Mixed in with the wooden GSR open wagons of course
  21. I haven’t gotten info direct from murphy before but I don’t think any initial time given to the release date to a mode have been forfilled. even MM can’t prevent delays!
  22. Its fair to say, based on what has been going on in the past number of years not to just assume that 071s are coming in 2024....it would be more likely that they will come much later. not being pessimistic but remember the 141s which are only due now were supposed to have been release as early as 2021(?)
