A ruston will always be noisy! And yea id say there will be an issue converting the 88ds to 21 mm. We have only 2 views of it at the moment so i hope its an early 2021 release
-
I think anyway they stopped using them in mallow around 1987
-
1 in Clonakilty model railway village, 1 was in halfway vintage club but is now somewhere else, 1 at the RPSI whitehead and 1 at Belturbet railway museum. That where they are as far as i know
-
I happen to have that book, very interesting livery. I think all the rustons in all the factories had slighly different liveries seen here with the 2 mallow locos
-
Bit of fixing up and the ruston above could be looking like carlow number 1. considering that hornby have done the 48ds and the senital they may come out with a 165 varient The 48ds comes with a flatbed wagon with pick ups if its a real issue, either way i think hornby can sort it for a new model in 2021
-
I'm no expert, but i suppose these Rustons from hornby would be close enough to the irish sugar company ones seen at mallow, Thurles, and Carlow ect.
-
yea, they seriously need to re-release the Dublin Heuston train set, large demand for those since they sold out......
-
dont forget G class, C class, 141, 181, 171, AEC railcars, another 121 variant and that's just the diesals. And this all has to be made by....lets call it next March! In all seriousness though, if a IRM stranderd pre-assembled Maebh how much would we pay to see that...

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/CIE-Flying-Snail-1945-63-era-cap-badge/402605542652?hash=item5dbd290cfc:g:OXwAAOSw6DBfusMy In case someone wants a conductor hat for there model railway!
-
I can relate! I ordered a green AEC railcar set and I asked for a black roof as a pose to light grey. They also removed the lining in the green livery of a C class i ordered as that particular loco (C212) had no line or flying snail on its green livery. fair play to them for doing it I really apericiate sorting out my nitpicks!
-
good to hear the silver fox model is getting fixed. Ive had great service with them so obviously if they are withdrawing it for issues with the mould then it will be back soon enough, while i myself arent interested in it, the Recent interest in 1960s stock might have meant the sulzers might have had more demand then usual.
-
I was on silverfox models website and noticed that they have removed the B101 Sulzer from there options of Irish locomotives. I'm sure if you asked for it they might still make it but its sad to see an Irish model seemingly discontinued. I assume the demand was not enough?
-
a 3d print of J30s (Number 90 or 100) is currently being developed. there progressing well and along with some paint and a terrier chassis you could have a perfectly resonable shunting loco
-
I hope so, otherwise we might be seeing a non running 141 recovered from a shipwreck going for 642 pounds sterling!!
-
Found it might be of inspiration to 121 owners about
-
there is a great picture of this kind of work, i cant remember if its a picture or a video but a grey 121 pulling out of dungarvan with CIE green and black n tan coaches. it actually looks beautiful with all the colours and the backdrop
-
Yes the L and Y loco is the doner, quite a basic conversion. what your seeing in the picture is just drafts for the front of the cab, the coal bunker has been slightly modified already and were trying to get the curve right on those lovely cabs......by tracing images of the side of the cabs using office lense! not the most precise method in the world but it does the job.

Great news for my layout anyway as mark dunlea's number 90 progresses. however this from another keen west cork modeler is what will hopefully be a 2-4-2 class 33 loco these were replaced by the aec railcar sets. watch this space!

B141 sold on ebay for 170 (came with decoder) and B165 sold for 180 both with boxes and in black n tan. 161SA in supertrain livery is at 150 sterling at the moment. definitely a lot more popping up on eBay at the moment due to the 121's i suspect?
-
remarkable amount around ballinhassig too, the embankments going down goggins hill all the way to Crossbarry are still there in decent condition road bridge still there, quite a few telephone poles. Im sure the other day I saw mileposts painted pink and being used as gateposts....
-
the station is long gone, signal cabin was stripped of all valuables and the brick base remained for years. i think its still there being conjoined into a horse stable on the platform. I think it was Norwegian artists who did all the station in west cork before closure, A common tactic to close down a line would be unnecessary expenditures like this to justify closing it. in november 1960 this paint would have been at most 1 month old!
-
Behold, the real C202! coincidentally in Silver livery at Ballinhassig in November 1960 with empties. Taken by john langford. hope this helps.

apologies I'm new here, I don't know what done to death and what isint!
-
so it would take A Bachmann collaboration for a 141/181 re release? while the 071 would be a lot easier. It would be nice if even one of the two had a second run as its impossible to get your hands on some of those locos, and the ones that do pop up are incredibly expensive.
-
Id be happy enough if the 121 class was the final Murphy Models model if that meant Re-run of the 141 and 071 class in the near future.
