The courtmacsherry section could not be weedsprayed due to the weeds holding the ballast together when waves or flooding occurred. for those who want to see prototypical Courtmacsherry speed, at 45:20 minutes into this documentary it shows footage. https://youtu.be/eOeIbJHawV0 Considering how much the un-authentic ones get

There is a slight gradient coming into courtmacsherry village and I beleive twas common for the footplate Crewe to give it a burst of speed up the hill, before coasting into the terminal itself. besides, there were many excursion trains that didn’t follow those limits!

Somewhere on my computer, I have colour footage of 100/90 double header excursion into courtmacsherry. They went some speed past the primary school

@leslie10646 announced that the website was going down earlier this year. But if you drop him a PM he should be able to sort you out. I have also ordered from millipede. As it happens it was those bulleid wagons I got from him. There a good model for somone of “my skill”. The one thing I will fault is not having a PayPal set up. I hate having to send cash in the post as many have had bad experiences there

Provincial wagons make a fantastic kit. To make the Definitive bulleid wagon There is also a fella on adverts that custom makes much more rudimentary bulleid wagons in rtr

break out the measuring tape! well we would have to if SSM did not have a kit already out

ahh the actual black and silver livery As a pose to the one in the picture that hattons uses

i believe this particular 0 gauge example belongs to a forum member.

Correct and correct

There’s photos by Brian baker are taken on that section of track on closing day of the west cork. Clearly well looked after
-
My first layout looked something like this poor Thomas had to pull a rake of 10 or so open wagons up that gradient! I should have kept some of those red bridges around, they could pull of a corrib bridge type design

From the Barry case collection on the cork county archives some very valuable colour shots of the railway scene in cork in the late 50s

Ordered one , I’ll be honest 103 Australian dollars frightened this shite out of me but the conversion rate was more lenient then I remember
-
It’s for what the first photo I took, I haven’t a clue. I would imagine it would be of the Ruston In halfway but perhaps here lies my evidence of railway enthusiasm from a young age

I might offer a trade for a few screws , 70 cent and a packet of tayto’s Jesus Facebook can be a disease sometimes what’s with is “Ex-Murphy Models”? Is that made up for more waffle

I’ve heard some truly appalling stuff about this loco. It might be the new “Oxford Adams radial”

I believe it was usual on a Thursday for one extra 3 wheel coach to be attached to the end of a railcar set

A quick google search will show the A class got to every county in Ireland and more

The hardest part of getting a mortgage from bank of mum and dad is justifying spending any money at all on trains in the first place. Never mind trying to explain how a train the same size as there phone costs as much of not more!

Alstom are the last company we should be buying from that would be like if CIE kept buying from metropolitan vickers in the 60s and 70s

Forget NFT’s and crypto currency Invest in Irish models

Rocksavage works finished work on paining 479 this morning. it will soon be sent out to the junction to replace a C class on a mixed train they were awful due to the fact the bandon tank decals were not designed to be put on independently. I lost both spare 467 and 469 decals while trying to apply them and something went wrong before the red enamel paint went on the river side really shows how the decals really felt being put on. Horrendous but at least from far away there alright!

Those motors in awkward positions killed the 3d print bandon tank. A new chassis has to be made which I have made no progress on since

I see paddy as really doing only the GM stuff. You could make an argument at that time silverfox covered the other major areas like A, C, Sulzer. Add in the fact multiple liveries had been introduced since lima 201 loco, as well at murphy’s standerd of quality going up massive in 10 years. I suppose it’s understandable that we have had 3 1/2 runs of the 201 from Lima/MM over the past 20 years

It was mentioned in the soft announcement that it was late 2021-spring 2022. If we take into account delays witch are inevitable due to shipping ect. My GUESS would be April-august 2022 i could also be presently suprised
