Might be best to leave it for a while. My fella spent a long time bollocking around with fitting chassis to loco shells with the Bandon tank (which I still need to try out a Fowler 4F chassis under!) it was just getting depressing so we stopped development for a bit. You may never come back to it, but don’t get rid of it. Start out something else on your to do list in the meantime

Add insult to injury by calling them class 28s on the box. And call it a day!

It might be the Mandella effect. Although it is an odd exclusion. Does anyone remember what livery A3r was in when it was supposedly up?

Cheers to the warehouse team

A30 and A46 look like a good match together! Surely my A30 is due this week at this stage I spose IRM auta put the name of this thread into all caps, for those who don’t get the message! it’s quite in this case as A46 was the only loco to have the dark lined green livery (I think) and IRM said they won’t be repeating any running numbers if a Re-Release ever were to happen in years to come. (And to be fair. From a business standpoint that’s the only way to do it)

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
