Screenshots, pushing together, cropping….and then finding a place with a good A3 printer
Or you could travel to location and take a panoramic picture with your phone (if your phone has that panoramic picture feature)
They look alright without painting I suppose. indeed I was thinking was it going to be the lighter grey or the later brown livery. Probobly fair to say weathering can bring that light brown to that colour
It can help but it does not completely pay the bills. The fintown railway is in such a beutiful spot (probobly the most beutiful of any heritage line in this country) and yet struggles with numbers due to it’s completely isolated sport.
I’d Agree. that brief shot of the J15 winding its way slowly through the countryside.
back in topic. Much of what Silver/Green/Black/Black n Tan can be seen in this brief clip that popped in my feed this evening that’s part of a longer dvd (could not get the link to clip so here are a few exerts, can be found in west cork model village Facebook)
more importantly C212 will give an idea for some models of what Crossely did to A42….it looks like a completely different colour. As do all the wagons
Provincial wagons can make a 1:1 scale kit. As James may once did with an airfix spitfire.
Loughrea, a Black n tan A class and a rake of provincial wagons “1950s cattle wagons”. Now that’s a layout that I’d like to be seen done
The last train on the macroom line was a cattle train. It made the line look very busy in the photographs when in fact the line was only used for cattle specials and only occurred once a month.
I suppose that does hold slight truth. My parents would always have associated orange and black with 80s and 90s days of Irish rail. Perhaps nostalgia for those 1980s and 90s could be key if ever the cravens were to go back to prototype livery’s. Cashing in on the nostalgia from that era. The amount of people that remember the GNR and UTA to those who remember the 40ish years of orange and black liveries down in the south. Nostalgia sells!
unfortunately I’m so young, I can barely remember 141s in service!
Somone will have to photoshop some black and green cravens for us. I wonder would IE object to using orange coaches now? Putting the cravens into there prototype livery
