    Perhap Macroom and its surroundings can provide insperation for dugganport. It also was an only freight line since 1935 with only very few excursions for gaa and such Cant help with the Harbour though!
  2. Westcorkrailway
    Absolutly top class layput, detail is sublime If any, it draws very much parrallels to macroom terminus in its dying days in 1953

    Ahhh jaysus, have the closed the london branch via macmine junction, gort, naas, drimoleague and new york central? Bustling line
  4. Westcorkrailway
    Ahh yes juardeen junction for the rio de hagerdeen branch I wonder if somone else has the other 2 that compliment those
  5. Westcorkrailway
    Now THAT is dense vegetation Stunning

    Looks like the yolk todd andrews drove to deliver the bad news to every rural branchline in the country There were a few things like this in ireland at that time. I've even seen a machine gun mounted in a gswr open wagon

    Lead paint and asbestos insulation, a small price to pay for.......paddy whiskey advertising boards, enamel station signs and steam locos on the regular

    I can wait to go to marks models and seeing a few of them in the glass cabinet, since i can't afford them all!
  9. Westcorkrailway
    My favourite "modern livery" on the A's
  10. Westcorkrailway
    If only it's Closed for visitors in the short term
  11. Westcorkrailway
    The steam locos before, and the GM's after certainly put the A's down on looks. Orange suited the GM's more then the A/C Class. But the models do give them a Little more justice I didnt like the 121's at all until i got a model of one, maybe these models are swaying some to like these workhorses
  12. Westcorkrailway
    Agreee fully on the 50s-60s being the thr most diverse and *imo* the most interesting The amount of lines open, different steam and diesel locomotives, how colourful it was and how much important irish railway landmarks were happening at the time. Of course, I'm bias cause my local line closed in that era but still. This was a time when you could travel from baltimore to letterkenny, from valtentia harbour to strabane, from tramore to kilkee ect. When GM locos clashed buffers with J15s, A and C classes clashed buffers with 800s and so on

    .............oh dear I guess ill be waiting another few months Consider8ng there has been only 2 early CIE locos released in the past rtr by lima and bachmann. Im suprised at the upturn the era is getting. The grey 121s and the A's are the only "up to date" rtr models that can be used with the van Of course if you can settle for silverfox stuff like myself, there is a bit more
  14. Westcorkrailway
    Well i can still get from cork to dromod by rail (for the most part) the issue is dromod-belturbet. I dont think nancy can get that far these days If I had a time machine...... Id show him the Luas using the Harcourt Street line and give Colm Creedon 500 pounds in 1961 money i found on ebay. Not to mention all the places anyone would visit like Fintona, valentia and Inchicore in years past I'm sure others can name countless other places
  15. Westcorkrailway
    Here is hoping its green, grey or silver, or would "tin" be a better way of putting it!
  16. Westcorkrailway
    Im still confused as weather these models are released or not! the box buisness is just armchair confusion for myself
  17. Westcorkrailway
    This is only 10 percent passable because its going down to 4mm so the details dont matter, i have no idea how long it took to travel to ballinamore-dromod on the C&L, or if ballinamore was known for its fairs, nor is the quality of image great But not bad for snapchat editor
  18. Westcorkrailway
    Only so much can be done with a mobile telecomunications device
  19. Westcorkrailway
    another One from fred deans flicker, bias for my hometown is present I wonder if you could modify it for mohill or indeed any other station......ill get cracking
  20. Westcorkrailway
    Of course, as prototypical the crossely model are not preforming as well (in sales) as the GM ones!
  21. Westcorkrailway
    Radio train and excursion ones were pretty common. But excursion ones are area specific In this one, the times seem to be just written on! This one i found on the forum under the thread gsr 800...
  22. Westcorkrailway
    I saw an origional one of these in castlerea railway meuseum the other day. Ironically pulled from the a West Cork station of Waterfall Perhaps advertisment posters and boads would be easier to come by? I think those who did the bantry layout made posters like these ones Edit: Bingo
  23. Westcorkrailway
    In my mind, the west cork would jave been a dumping ground for crossely C class locos if it made it to 1963. Perhaps the rocksavage works would have been able to keep them running consistantly Ill take C202 in silver, C212 in green (may as well be black!) And C206 In black and tan!
  24. Westcorkrailway
    Any chance with experimenting with 3d printed conversion kits (a shell over an existing rtr chassis) Or 3d printing 6 wheel coaches ect. I remember myself and another fellow moddeller were considering models that can be made from rtr chassis from hornby, bachmann ect. And 3d print a shell for them. One of these exists for GSWR no.90 and were still fiddling with a bandon tank with a b12 chassis. Merlin from a GNR compound or T9, a CBSCR short boogy coach......ect. im sure many can suggest other locos that could be made from current chassis.
  25. Westcorkrailway
    They surely would have visited on an excursion of some sort. There might have been an A class or a few doing regular work it it had lasted until 1967 or so. I think only 2-3 A class locos went onto the west cork all in silver Breaking news: A39R is being put into CIE Green on launch day of IRM A class Now that would be a mighty kick in the hole
