Even though twould look unreal, you’d still get the same wibblers complaining about the livery, I know this since there was even complaints about 134 being in IR slate gray, even though 134 looks great in that

That’s a neat little claim to fame!

I garuntee I will end up liking the 22k as much as I loath getting on them at the moment when a mk4 set is the alternative. nostalgia sells!

If the 201 was built in the 70s. I Guarantee it would be “beutiful”

Obviously I’m going to suggest eith my CBSC bias, so here is a rundown of the lot. a lot of there terminus are very edible. macroom shared similarities with dugort harbour in that very spacious design Kinsale is more limited being closed in 1931. But certainly some changes can be made to that date if necessary. I plan to do kinsale, possibly in 7mm in the future clonakikty is probably a very easy one to pull off. It’s backdrop being famous for its views down onto the harbour Baltimore is not one I personally have seen done before very few buildings around it to make it “look right” easier courtmacsherry…….needs no introduction. Many have considered it and some have succeded in making it in the last they lads across the water have made such a great model of bantry already, there thread is worth investigating too

I’ds say not, ids say Next time we will get word is when IRM have them in for pre-order

What is the livery on the wagon nearest the J15 with an almost creme snail in the side. I saw one of these lift the bantry line too, is that the colour they used for maintainance back then?

This station was fully painted in October of 1960, and flattened by 1963, it was a road by 1964

Is it still the case they only make Irish stuff in August/October i’d be getting one in silver if any colour. I reckon even still I’d have to make modifications to my order if this van is anything to go by. I think the chassis, and the gangway are supposed to be silver. And perhaps with the release of the A class. Revising the colour of these to fit those locos more would be better? I don’t think RTR versions of these will be out soon if at all. When JM designs have done a great kit for those of us skilled enough, and silverfox have these ready to go at a years notice! So I MIGHT pick one of these up

did anyone on here ever get the bullied luggage van in its origional silver livery and what it was like?

3 of my coaches have found a new home 20 minutes away….

100 euros for 2 wagons, which the fella on adverts will deliver for 5 for 100 and there brand new! Some enthusiastic pricing there. I’m going to assume the Chris Dier 29k isint worth 567 euros either

And as we speak, the seller has changed the listing from murphy models to “scratch built?” As I suspected, didn’t even realise what he had

I saw that on Facebook, what a plank. some poor sod is going to be wondering why everyone was raving about the 071. It looks very shoddy What’s worse is It might not be intentional. Judging by the reviews of the seller. It’s likely that he thinks it’s the same model selling for €300

all it’s missing is a tin van….

Perhaps “hint hint” we need some RPSI locos to haul this stock

Looks brilliant as always Perhaps some irishication to those coaches could be in the cards?

Date of June 5th 1958 was a Thursday, as I previously mentioned, a vintage 6 wheeler was always used the strengthen the service on Thursdays

If there was a sound chip, Facebook has provided the perfect gricer quote

Agreed! All major preservation society’s are based north of Dublin. ma’am cross, RPSI, cultra, C&L, Donegal ect. Waterford has the Suir valley, Kerry has the lartigue railway, Clare has moyesta, Tipperary has ITG in carrick. The cost and time to get to and from any of these sites is a bit of an object. Meanwhile in the whole county of cork we have no.36 in Kent and 2 Park Royal coaches in the west cork model railway village.

Sell old MM ones for 400 quid and buy new ones for 189.99….

this is dead right. As scarce as they are now. We still have a few more years to wait for those GMs to become viable again With NIR mk2 coaches, A and C sharing general shape and detail (and as we know, IRM like to re-use assets as per the recent wagon announcement!) the bookies would be odds on for a C Class announcement much later on this year.

Fair enough, I would have thaught with the only 3 in service. It would have had to wait a while for its turn (granted there were only 3 800 class locos too, and I’d hope as much as anyone else they will get RTR representation)

Agreed, anyone anticipating an NIR mk2 should get a kit/rtr hunslet.

They were painted that way around 1970 (I think!?) anything green was gone
