Westcorkrailway replied to spudfan's topic in What's happening on the network?
I heard we are to get this modern high speed replacements for Tara wagons. -
A few from Malahide Model Railway Museum
Westcorkrailway replied to jhb171achill's topic in Irish Models
That’s probobly not a good sign! Although to be fair, I’ve seen 4 year old crossleys that look 40 years old -
IRM At The Dublin Show 2022 - Just What Will We Announce?
Westcorkrailway replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
If you thaught the number was odd just look at the wheel arrangement I must admit it looks really nice…I don’t know if the C class ever ran in Tippex though -
Finished up number 90 now, and while she may be tall. The old lady is looking pretty alright (these photos make her look monstrously high but she’s about the same height as an Adams radial and smaller then an A class) this photo shows how nice it ended up looking The back (still need to shorten the chassis) With a prototypical beet rake with a post 55 green coach

this zoomed in screenshot of one from Ernie’s flicker page shows the difference between how the look in colour photos covered in grime, and what the livery actually looked like underneath that paint
-
I’ll bring it in person to the Swap meet on December 3rd, along with the rest of my conversions made in this thread if any of ye rivet counters want something to gawk at
-
Have found a solution to the chassis though it will need little cutting… however it will still be a very tall 90! the first 2 decals on….8 to go

Photographs of J. Langford
Westcorkrailway replied to GNRi1959's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
I think so too, though I don’t have a way of contacting him -
They will be selling at the cork swap meet for €60 I’m told
-
As part of the deal for the AEC railcars. I managed to get a number 90 print and a suitable chassis, and while the chassis needs a bit of work. Number 90 is well underway.

IRM At The Dublin Show 2022 - Just What Will We Announce?
Westcorkrailway replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
I think I have seen a photo of a green AEC railcar at mallow with the caption “heading for Fermoy” however absolutely don’t quote me on that speaking of AEC railcars look at this one…spotless condition next to 201 and 552! (Although if I’m right there I’d a bit of that GSR grey coming through at the end of the water tank on 201) 201 was later on repainted into CIE black for the IRRS courtmacsherry tour I wish Silver-fox painted my one in that post 55 green, I might have even held on to it longer! -

Not when murphy models are supposed to be making them at some stage soon -
I won’t be selling, and presumably not swapping any Railway Models. But the ones I do have will be on display for the craic. Have to fill the table somehow
-
I’m case anyone is interested…I’m informed there are 4 tables left worth €10 each. if your in cork that weekend, free admission is hard to pass up!

This did happen with the mark 2 announcement, litterally no one put in a good guess. that footbridge project from a while back is the only other thing that springs to mind not that I can afford to talk, my Silver fox AEC railcars are being sold tommorow because I can’t afford to keep them!! -

They could be hiding maroon mark 2s somewhere….I’d like to remind you it’s not the first time a certain livery has been hiding in the secret stash at IRM towers (A3r)! -
"They never ran like that" (Ballast train fun)
Westcorkrailway replied to Niles's topic in What's happening on the network?
Yknow this is perfect marketing for selling models even though “it never ran like that” I’d argue running like that in preservation fits the bill -

3! at least spread them out between 3 different eras to save us 1 kidney! I suppose it’s time for predictions….probobly the biggest shot in the dark yet. powered C class hunslet AEC railcar unpowered Park Royals ammonia wagon laminates timber wagon maybe a CIE van simular to the banana wagons we saw earlier on this month it will also be nice to see some of the decorated samples of things we already know are coming in the pipeline -
Yeah I saw they have S&S, CBPR and CMLR locos all in the works or finished it’s not ideal but it’s still a whole lot better then plastic red, plastic yellow and plastic blue
