Youghal is close enough to the town in my opinion. If you ever do go there there is a fair gradient and curve up into the town from the station so it’s fair enough Wierd to think there were trains on cork city’s streets in supertrain days…

Tracks at youghal station were lifted last week, the turntable will be restored but I think the rest is all gone

if anyone feels like bodging a few 6 wheelers be my guest! I more then likely will be getting genesis coaches of some description, and many of us will. I don’t think many will be trying to make one of these Emergency era……wagons?

If this is a real old school loco, won’t exactly be “Dcc ready”

It’s the Boris bridge A class

Veering off topic, Herman göring had a MASSIVE layout and had a huge collection of locos with which he would play for hours….. one has to wonder if the vice chancellor’s huge layout was based on strabane….or even mallow

Presumably your A’s have EMD engines Used all my fuel to try start my crossley A’s. It didn’t work and now I’m relying on polish coal!

Brexit-The gift that keeps on taking my communion money

Looks Very similar to the current state of innoshannon viaduct

To a young fella like myself. There is simply no comparison between B/W and colour. The atmosphere is much easier for my imagination to capture call that a sin if you will!

And thanks to IRM. There are some track panels waiting to be laid!

There is plenty Of locos and coaches I can think of that could find a home there

I wonder who will get the last A class ever sold 1st hand

Didn’t know ye could do that!

That’s a fantastic question I’m even thinking of towns in cork and can’t name too many that never ever had a rail connection. Killbritain, castownbere, glengarrif, ballycotton, cloyne, leap and rosscarbery. Castletownbere and glengarrif were origionally supposed to be done in the origional CBSCR line, but instead those areas were served by steamship to the railway at bantry a fiticous glengarrif is already imagined in a layout by Ernie of this parish leap and rosscarbery were also supposed to be part of a line between Clonakilty and skibbereen. Which was also scrapped. Perhaps a fictitious line where a junction at Middleton bought you down to ballycotton via cloyne. man that’s only one county! Does anyone know any other major exclusions from getting a railway station, bellmullet? Louisburgh?

It’s some sort of 4-4-0 design here in Ireland too. It’s yellow and it has a level crossing silhouette on the sign. not a bad alternative, but hard to imagine in my head. Would a stretched 071 look well?

I always spend them in Argos, bound to find SOMEthing of use in there

Characterless, peat briquette, doorstop, paperweight unreliable bricks that some may think of them. I will always like the 201 class (ecpecially in IE Silver/Green). And regardless of what many think of these locos, they will be with us a good while yet!

Lima 201’s should be the beginners entry level mode to the Irish hobby, if only they all went for that price!

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
