    There is an unreal shannonvale layout, I posted it on here a few months ago As has been said before, the beauty of modelling West Cork is you can have prototypical length trains in reasonable space. maybe next time we will do Cork Capwell, Kinsale, Courtmacsherry, Timoleague, schull, Ballydehob Bantry and Drimoleague for more insperation

    The West Cork Wanderer was a great day out, met some forum members here, weather was good and despite 2 very large delays out of the control of tailte, still arrived back in Cork in time for the 18:25, the 1961 tour to West Cork don’t make it back until past 12AM after its delays!

    Funny enough, the rule is still that a warning panel isint necessary IF you have GM headlights that’s why 071 and 073 can work without a yellow warning panel, but 2601 had to have a yellow door kept

    There is a GNR 110 class! tbf, if you named every 071 class, Twould get fairly mad fairly fast. Like you’d have 088 “ schull and skibbereen “ !

    I forgot about that one! doesn’t 141 which now might return to mainline operation next year have a Murphy Models plaque on the side
  7. Westcorkrailway
    Yes - Not counting the 110s which are all named

    Photos from early this morning as the first trade stands set up

    Unreal work
  10. Westcorkrailway
    Unreal!

    I remember when he bought that! I think the idea was for it to sit in the garden. Mad thing altogether!

    Start point is cork and end point is kinsale / Clonakilty (the present plan is to diverge just west of Ballinhassig railway station) If the council were serious, they would buy it

    Probobly selling due to The oncoming greenway project (buyers beware if that would be against you!) unfortunatly I don’t have 700’000. Otherwise this would litterally be my dream house (only behind Ballymartle station)

    More tarmac for the Healy Rae contractors to lay down!

    I’m moving to Tralee in a few months, a cool “wouldn’t it be nice” but the expense of re-building everything versus a greenway a fraction of the price… That being said, I could see it operating again, but not under steam power!

    Get onto a Thomas rogers in Waterford, he seems to know a lot about that railway line And welcome!

    One of the yolks buried in the quarry because of asbestos?

    As far as I know, Ray Good actually slept in one of these, or at the very least had a good look inside of them when they were sent down to Bantry for fair specials, he’s coming on the tailte tours bus trip in a few weeks…

    Last seen in county Clare, but I am 99 percent sure it’s been cut up, along with a wide variety of CIE stock of this era
  20. Westcorkrailway
    I don’t have a full list, but there will be 55 stands total
  21. Westcorkrailway
    One of these wagons appears to have survived up to summer 2025. Unfortunatly I haven’t a clue what number it was

    I wonder if that is my hand there in coach 1…
  24. Westcorkrailway
    I was always happy with how mine came out
  25. Westcorkrailway
    I note what appears to be Roger Joanes name on the RPSI coach reservation list, I’d be tempted to say hello to him at the weekend
