    Looking good Noel.

    Took me ages just to build one 42 flat and that was glued together.I can imagine it takes a lot longer to solder. Great job.

    I wonder would Mallow-Waterford have survived had the Ballinacourty project had come online sooner.Mallow -Waterford closed in March 1967, While the spur to Ballinacourty to service the Quigley plant came about around 1970. Trains could have run to Mallow via Dungarvan, and perhaps beet trains could have run via Dungarvan as well.

    The video is nice, although I found that the bass reflex speaker gave great output on my a class.The A class chip was recorded from a39 at Downpatrick a few years ago, with the best part of the recordings done from the rear cab pushing the empty stock to Inch Abby. A39 is looked after well and she is not pushed hard.

    I am afraid I bought nothing in the sale.The kitty is a bit bare at the moment,such is life. It's nice to have such expensive hobbys.

    Hope this helps, my own MK3 EGV which was a spare Hornby restraunt coach that I had a go with the SSM brass sides.

    Thanks Tommy, and you are dead right in that you would never tire looking at these locos.

    I have been after IE 146 for a long time, and finally got my hands on one that has never turned a wheel.So just finished the various bits that have to be put on.I hope to run her with 184 most of the time.

    Just finished two MIR "20" containers. Stuck on two Bells, and paint was changed to red oxide.

    Ah ballasting, the most enjoyable job on a new layout.It will be fab when finished.Your new layout would give the plough vans a good test.

    Looking good Noel. I still miss the old layout though.

    Very Nice.I just about remember black and tan 141s in the mid 70s.

    A lot of strange "goings on "with the previous incarnation Of IRM. Very thankful to Boskonay for setting up this site, and the Mods as well.

    John, the mails were carried in the normal scheduled trains.The mk2d EGV were the normal from about 1988 to 2004.I remember the newspaper trains in the 70s, which normally arrived into Enniscorthy Station at about 4.45 and as you said a single bogie van.I got my first spin in a 141 on one of these trains if only through the now long disused goods Shed.The Late Rory Doyle from Enniscorthy was always delight to bring chaps like myself on cab rides.That was a different time when a cab ride was no bother.I think it must have been around 76-77 as the 141 was in black and tan livery.

    I started work for an post in 1992 and for a while got to bring the Mail from New Ross and Enniscorthy Post Offices over to the Station for the 6.45 train to Dublin.It was mostly a single 141 or even a single 121 with a odd 001 in charge.I had to throw the mail bags into the EGV, and collect one bag from Wexford.I remember always trying to get up to the loco for a look before she got underway.The mails ceased to be carried by rail in January 1994.

    It was part of the weed killer train.I think it was the accommodation van?.
