    The black n tan 121s from memory was the quickest to sell out

    The Railways of West Cork “reflections and Reminiscences” has had a 2nd edition Now in paperback (to elevate problems the hardback had with staying together!) and edited to remove any mistakes the last edition may have contained with a few added pieces here and there These books have not been available since 2019. I would encourage anyone who may have wanted one then, to buy one now. Ecpecially with the reduced price of €20 https://modelvillage.ie/product/the-railways-of-west-cork-reflections-reminiscences/?fbclid=IwAR3rgdKap-MqIL4nQdZq-t6ZyU1HXwchjbqkk70XOfmZ_uZoP11sf_OpMos

    I’m 19 on Saturday, I’ll count myself in that under 30 bracket…. And I applied for most of the stuff IE have advertised. Cad drawing, Technical drawing and engineering all done for the leaving cert in a couple of weeks…..still haven’t a notion what I’ll actually end up doing though ps: Donkey kong is about 40 years out of date, very amusing

    He was well hidden…..unfortunatly the route wasn’t well signposted enough and many went out the wrong door….. he was beside the presidents coach in the coach shop

    I could have well been behind you when you asked Sean! I asked about the 201s and he said “they are coming out” however upon asking what colour the underframe is going to be, he said “we haven’t got to that’s stage yet” it will be a long few years till we get the 201s
  6. Westcorkrailway
    I agree…..plenty of 071s, plenty of railway companies ~072 midland and great western ~073 Great northern ~074 Sligo Leitrim and northern counties ~075 Dublin and south eastern ~076 Cork bandon and south coast ~077 county Donegal joint committee ~078 Cavan and Leitrim ~079 Dundalk, newery and Grenore ~080 Waterford and tramore ~081 West Clare ~082 hill of howth ~083 Listowel and ballybunion ~084 Cork, Blackrock and passage ~085 Cork and muskerry ~086 londonderry and lough swilly ~087 Tralee and single ~088 Dublin and Kingstown no idea if what I just put down is even correct

    And a few of if the standout locomotives 071, or it’s new name Great Southern and Western with the broken wheel back! The standout for me, 134 THE RETURN OF THE MIGHTY HALFWAY RUSTON 141 and my first ever encounter with No.85….crisp as ever Presumably that’s the kit SSM make
  8. Westcorkrailway
    7mm layout at inchore….full of CB&SCR locos…..and that was just the entrance Fran are you sure the bandon tank 7mm isint on the way? Paddy murphy’s stand
  9. Westcorkrailway
    Teaser for who ever is up today I’m there 2:30-4
  10. Westcorkrailway
    some more viewing material pre-open day the 07:00 cork train is packed as we speak
  11. Westcorkrailway
    Great! ill buy that grey 071. Looks a bit bigger then the A class locos….must be 7mm….
  12. Westcorkrailway
    getting this topic back on track, I have just received no.475. It was the one of if not thee last ones left been sitting on this locomotive for a year now and considering there won’t be any F6, Bandon’s, J26, st.molaga, argadeen or Baldwin tank engines being made anytime soon in RTR, might as well get it. I remember first learning of this locos existence and being confused. I think it’s only duties was branchline work and maybe it worked cork-clonakikty a few times Despite the GSR grey being plain as per prototype. The brass peices are beautifully done. The loco weighs a lot more then the A class. The locomotive Dosnt re-invent the wheel with its performance the loco also dosnt like going round corners with some screw in the connecting rods being to tight or something. I might try and look at this later
  13. Westcorkrailway
    I’m tempted myself to do an SSM J26 kit, would J72 chassis really fit underneath the kit build?
  14. Westcorkrailway
    TMD/SSM completed E class/J26 00 gauge with no W&T style extended coal bunker. Preferably in GSR grey or a black livery.

    Perhaps “Rails to Northport” and “Rails to Dugort” is in order
  16. Westcorkrailway
    Just there the Irish railway record society has put Joe st ledger footage of 184 in that livery running on Inchicore open day 1970 for anyone interested
  17. Westcorkrailway
    Such an interesting preservation history! Too bad there is a good chance she won’t return to service even in my lifetime.
  18. Westcorkrailway
    My favourite of 184s “fictional” liveries is seen here with the “lined CIE green”
  19. Westcorkrailway
    Which would be the more common or popular tender type on the rebuilt J15?
  20. Westcorkrailway
    I think anyone modelling that period can justify a belfaire J15 i wonder what the story with the tender is going to be. Surely they won’t use 186 current tender as I don’t think that’s an authentic J15 tender but rather a 400 or 500 class tender or something like that hence making 186 impossible unless a completely new tooling for a different tender was made? I could be wrong and that could be a j15 tender
  21. Westcorkrailway
    From what I have heard, there is a high chance it could be a J15, but the rebuilt version
  22. Westcorkrailway
    I think there was a DWWR loco sold the the CMDR even in the early days before grouping GSR grouping, never mind after it…. if you see a young fella walking around the premier rose cap in hand, don’t ask
  23. Westcorkrailway
    Perhaps the lough class are a very pheasable locomotive with UTA and a small bit of RPSI service to help boost sales of an SLNC locomotive the only reason the low demand CBSC loco was produced was that certain peices were identical to certain pieces of an LSWR saddle tank. Perhaps 461 could fill out DSER NCC U2? BCDR Baltic or Atlantic tanks?
  24. Westcorkrailway
    Does Lough Erne have a 00 gauge kit available? i know it’s widely available Already but I’m slightly holding out on a MGWR J26 or an F6 2-4-2
  25. Westcorkrailway
    Mine is still in the post, it seem the second I announced I would be interested in one, the all sold out! what you have there is one of the last 1st hand J24 models ever sold I reckon it’s not too far out of anyones 2ft rule to say these survived until 1960 with the GSR choosing to stick with them rather then giving up on them imedeatly For those who are sorry to miss out on the cute Irish saddle tank, as many are when it comes to these locos (I see many who’d love to have a j-15 or Ug class) I might as well say it here, but the chaps at 00 works have assured me that…..another Irish locomotive is on the way from 00 works! It hasn’t been announced just yet what they plan to make, Hopefully it isn’t another CB&SCR locomotive otherwise I will literally have too go in debt
