To be fair, we all had fair warning that when there gone, that’s it. im sure at this early stage a private dealer or marks still has them

464, 90 and 201 were repainted black 3 down, many many more to go

Keep that cast handy lads, i see a good key chain opertunity!

How was the one on A1’s box made?

009 narrow gauge stuff confirmed

Your parcel from Dublin to limerick will go via coleraine, Copenhagen, Dortmund, ze Brugge, cherbourg, ballydehob, rosslare, Liverpool, cobh………… some of the bus eireann routes are guilty of it too for the most part when IRM ship stuff, tis there within the day

It’s too bad the owner has tried to flog these on for mad prices, I just don’t understand how I missed them when I went in the greenway! in a world where I had unlimited funds. these two would be behind no.90 on the DCDR. But these will most likely be left there forever. Maybe getting these knackered coach bodies to cork is within reason

Currently you guys are in a race with my Silverfox AEC railcars as “who will arrive first”. With this announcement ids say it’s neck and neck !

Amen to that . Mostly 1960s oriented with a huge percentage of that going to west cork!

Small terminus like kinsale, courtmacsherry and Baltimore on the CBSC spring to mind

Amen, by the time the website was set up. The version my layout requires (earliest version) was sold out. Understandable if it’s a one time run though.

I was thinking that. I assume anything past 3 in my transfer pack is effectively useless! would 2 or 3 have been used for the standard class?

Another question that I need to ask, what to the numbers on the coaches represent? For instance this CBSCR coach has all 3’s but some have 2’s or 1’s, some are mixed and some even seem to have no number at all.

If you’re legally blind and squint, It looks a bit like a Jeep in GNR blue!

Further experimentation and learning My railtec transfers arived and while initially they looked like the wrong the colour, once applied to the actual model they turned out in a very accurate looking colour. Took 15 seconds (not like 15 minutes with the white ones!) to remove and we’re well able to to apply them with my rudimentary set up on a Dapol 5 plank wagon Silverfox have told me the green they used on my C class and my AEC railcar set which is currently in the post uses Railmatch 307 BR Early Multiple Unit Green. Upon comparing eau de nil to this green, I may as well match it hastily photoshopped the snail onto C212. You can see how EDN compares to silverfox transfers

Looks a good size for a west cork turntable.

The Black n tank looks very well on it

Those plates do look stunning

Apparently so!

My guess is that A39R won’t be too long on the shelf either

Nice to have exact numbers of what is left. Only 9 A23R left! I’m right in saying due to all these cancellations. That loco is set to sell out first

I can’t even get them off the card they came on at the moment, from what I’ve read, you leave them in luke warm water for 10-25 seconds and they should slide off the card where then you can slide them onto the loco/rolling stock (I was intending on putting theme on open wagons) but….no matter what I tried they absolutely would not come off the card they came on so I superglued the front of the transfer onto the floss and scratched away the paper (so the adhesive is now facing the out) but obviously. Supergluing on transfers the wrong way round is not ideal I have plenty more of these white snail locos they only cost 2 euro for a load of them hence my experimentation, and I can sacrifice many more of these transfers if need be . I just can’t get them off the card they arrived on

VINTAGE ANTIQUE CIE 1960S FLOSS ONLY €699.99 What this actually is, is a failed experiment with some of my white transfers. They take a lot of convincing to come off (very hot water and the adhesive would not budge) so I just superglued you the nearest plastic I could find and rubbed it off. While this worked ok, my snails are facing the wrong way round like if they were on the right hand side of a tender does anyone know how to get these transfers off? They might not even be water based but I taught they were…maybe boiling water will make them slide?

The transfers on my silverfox C class are white, but the green behind them has leaked through a small bit and have made them look a small bit bettter. but I’ll try use the railtec ones anyway, if there too dark then I’ll just make them the very dark early livery I’m well alware that it’s au de nil or nil when it comes to lining these coaches. It’s just the green of the body I’m not certain in, perhaps trying to match it with the C class would be the best job. That 3rd livery seen exclusively in west cork can be seen on the back cover of the latest IRRS journal I didn’t think au de nil was used on wagons at all, I’ll be using white snails on them anyway

from another thread. The rosslare 1906 coach (I think) in a version of CIE green and even so, there were multiple CIE greens, I don’t think the transfers provided by railtec cover this livery but rather the slightly darker CIE green. (As far as I know there are 3 CIE greens) one like the one above, one like A46 or the Bachman CIE coaches, and one somewhere inbeteeen the two
