  1. The Dutch van is in need of a proper coupling, while the plough van is far too clean and when time permits will get some dirt and grime on them. The plan is to refurbish my 12 ballast hoppers with proper vacuum pipes,and I have spotted some nice brass wheels for the side of the hoppers which I persume let the stones out underneath.
  2. Its a while since my workbench has had any action. A39 is nearly finished,and the last few days I have her with the bass reflex speaker and finaly stuck on the bogie side frames,which got a little rub of weathering powder.The Bass reflex gives more bank for your buck,but main problem is getting enough of the Deltic weights in place,so next I may test her and she how she goes.
  3. Rich. Journal no 166-june 2008 has these photos of the expermentinal livery for the mk2ds and well worth tracking down. And Journal no 161 October 2006 has a feature on the craven coaches.
  4. There is a IRRS journal from 2008 that pays homage to the Brel MK 2d coaches.It shows the coaches in 1972 in various experimental liverys at Inchicore works.
  5. I dont know if this was discussed before,but I have often wondered about the marker lights, on the 121,141/181,071 in the original as delivered condition of two marker lights on the left and just one on the right,which I cant remember was it red or white.Anyway why just one on the right?. And while talking about this,why did the Push Pull fitted 121s such as 128 have a single red block marker fitted much higher than other 121s.When Mr Murphy looks at the 121s for his next venture,perhaps these strange marker light positions will have him cursing.
  6. Welcome to the site,and its great to see young blood in the hobby.Keep up the good work.
  7. Thank you all so much for the kind words. It was a difficult time this past few months but this site kept me sane and was of great help in keeping my mind off things. A great bunch of people here I must say,thanks again. Eamonn
  8. Nice work George.Do post up photos of the an post vans when finished.
  9. We are well overdue a chat Tom.Do call if you are up this way.
  10. That's a great build on the van Tom,some nice detail. I have been thinking about changing numbers on some of my own locos,it's nice to get a view of it being done.
  11. Thanks to Stephen for the site,and fairplay for the 2k that it costs to run the site.The stats quoted are impressive and Long live IRM. Thanks also to the other Mods. I have been quite myself these last few months but plan to get back into the swing of modeling shortly. Eamonn
  12. Looks brilliant George,and thanks for sharing. Good to see you back here.
  13. Well said.Some of us know the goings on in the last site.i feel very at home here.To be honest I rarely look at RMweb.
  14. Looks brilliant now,fair play to you.
  15. For me,the CIE super train livery to the IR livery has a big effect on me.you have all the locos 001,201-MV,121,141/181 071,not to mention the nice array of coaches. Can there be anything nicer than a 141, one craven,one park Royal and BR van on a branch line to look at.
  16. I did mine the same livery.lovly job on all the sulzers shown here.
  17. Great shots of the Airbus.I never had a chance to get to Dublin today.
