    Brilliant! Its a huge announcement considering some of us thought there were "no future plans" for MM. Im excited to see every single one of these re-hit store shelves I'm not certain but is this the first time an irish loco has been re-run?
  2. Westcorkrailway
    Interesting how it says that alright, hence why this is such a big shock. Considering that marks models and IRM have confirmed it which makes me beleive that this isnt the usual hoaxes you get from Facebook sometimes Besides its much easier to update a facebook page then to update a website I think

    I suppose the success of this run will be monitered closely as we dont get re-runs to often..... and maybe more in the future if this one goes well. there 50 years past my era and the intercity 201.... I might just get one anyway besides for the intercity, enteprise and badger liveries this is only the second run! It would make sense to see 60s coaching stock return to shelves on the eve of the A class and 121s. Shame there is nothing with a flying snail for them to pull...yet

    Well deserved return for intercity green 201, bridges the gap between old and new very well

    To be fair the lima 201 was the biggest step up in irish railway modeling. The MM 141 was also a big step up but not as big a step as the lima 201.

    Aye I just saw them there, good rescource for whenever i do get no.90 and maybe some more justification for great northern stock!

    Irelands terrier. The old lady was a staple of rocksavage works. Even though the D class diesel had arrived and she was 75 years old at that point! Delightful photo

    https://www.marksmodels.com/?cid=51 Wow.......surely these will be of interest to people....brand new NCC jinties, flying snail moguls and flying snail coaching stock Interesting that everyone seems to be clearing the warehouse now!

    I must also agree that (not biased) that the cork shots were awesome. Some of the V class shots were great too

    Unbelievable evening. a great time could not have asked for better thank you@leslie10646
  11. Westcorkrailway
    Can you join the meeting regardless of your a member or not....I'm too young to join the society as of right now?
  12. Westcorkrailway
    I hope he was BANNED from ebay forever for that kind of sugar honey ice tea You could buy 1 of every MM loco for that money brand new and still have plently left over

    Coming to a smyths Toys superstores near you!

    Id love if the lima 201s were still floating around for a cheap entry point into irish modeling. A bit like a hornby railroad option!
  15. Westcorkrailway
    Loved it!

    Yea i think interchangable sections of some sort would be great for a potential design but if not the main (not including the single one) ones are... Standered double track like the ones on the limerick waterford line A big multiplatform one simular to the clonakilty junction one but this goes for any major station The other one is the triple track bridge. I think these are seen at Crossbarry and Tiperary town.
  17. Westcorkrailway
    The one thing I will add is that the come in all different shapes and sizes! Clonakilty juction had one spanning 3 platforms and 4 tracks! This one at tipperary has the stairs orientated in different directions potential designs for adding a centre section extra and being able to rotate the stairs as mentioned earlier might be beneficial (it would have to be divided into preices due to restricted printer size ect)
  18. Westcorkrailway
    And....with only a few small things like using spare SSM transfers to make decals, fixing the buffer ect. GSWR Number 33 is complete. As far as i know this engines last hurrah was working the Clonakilty branchline loosing the Macroom line to its closure and the Cobh line to the introduction of diesal railcars.
  19. Westcorkrailway
    I think i saw footage of 560 crossing the city railway with her plates on. 552 and 559 were the regulars in the later days but i think 560, 551, 553 and 557 have been on the line if not more!
  20. Westcorkrailway
    This loco will almost certainly be 552 or if not 559. Which both had the later decals on them in the later days of courtmacsherry work. Which suits the rest of the loco fleet which have the same style of numbering
  21. Westcorkrailway
    Actually.....black and tan looks pretty superb on CC1.....I'm pleasantly suprised!
  22. Westcorkrailway
    Ids say what well want is the newer painted numbers despite how relitivally short they were kept. The connecting rods do stand out a bit alright....i must tell him that Yeah the smoke box door is a bit plain, itll only take 2 or 4 little strips to spruce it ip I must say the way he has approached is promising for younger and more inexperienced modelers like myself who work in a more "awkward" era then the supertrain days and beyond! Steam locos only need to look "recodnisable" for us 2 anyway
  23. Westcorkrailway
    Now that we have a goof idea how to make the cab, we could make 201 aswell but as we have a 2-4-2 chassis we will finish the 33 class curvy bits or not!
  24. Westcorkrailway
    While my own layout has since been "halted" more work has commenced on my other west cork maniac's locos. the class 33. Has taken shape with a heavily modified smokebox, and on cab side installed (using a picture and microsoft office lense we figured it out) . Also the coal bunker has been modified so it only needs another cab side and making the water tanks a little higher (he might not try to put to notches in the running board as is prototypical) In the third picture is....a slightly modified j72 to make a j26! With a fee transfers and maybe a bit of weathering i think while being a bit long admittedly it will pass....it goes to shoe that with little experience and relitivally low budget. An few irish steam locos aren't impossible.....i must say fair play to him its not easy modeling in west cork!
  25. Westcorkrailway
    I would imagine a silver/green C class would look obscure next to black steam engines almost twice as small! The two J30s, 552, Mologa and argadeen are beutiful little locos......slaney can wait as it was withdrawn very early if memory serves
