PS: Like the old expressway bus on the RH bridge

 

Cheers,I was trying to recreate 1978 with buses and various vehicles.

Just finished IFM TPO which I bought as a kit a few years ago.

I dont know what happened  to the video but it can be viewed by clicking on the dots at the end.

I think 146 in IE livery is very much sought after.

seen this on the RTE news earlier, always sad to see lines been lifted

but when did this station last see a train?

 

From what I remember reading, it was 1988/89 that the last train ran through here which was a A class and two bogie flat wagons to recover rail in the Youghal area.

Thanks guys it’s always appreciated when my weathering gets such great comments. Noel can’t wait to see the weathering job you do on this. You have to be one of the best around now at weathering. Keep up the great work.

073 with the first run of the newly built Silver Fox weed coach.

The LC gates look great,as do the building.

I think I will need someone professional to repair it, I've emailed Murphy Models asking how I can get it repaired. I'm in London, is there a repair shop relatively local that would handle a Murphy Models repair?

It's well worth having a look yourself.

The 071 body is held on by 4 screws.Turn the loco upsidedown and locate the holes around the bogie area.The screws are recessed far in.When you get the screws out the centre part of the body lifts of.As you said some heat came from the top of the body,check the 21pin blanking plate and have a good look around with a bright light.Check with the loco on the track and see if there is a problem somewhere.

If the blanking plate is the problem,you should be able to get one somewhere.

Excellent.I think I will be going for the CIE ballast packs.

The Beet season is in full swing on Bog Road with 084 and some emptys heading to Youghal.

Congratulations to IRM.I started out on the old MSN site back in 2007 and have seen the growth in Irish model railways with the launch of the MM 141/181 locos.Its been amazing to see the success of IRM and long may it continue.

Some action from Bog Road.

I have to agree that it's worth waiting to have things right and very understandable the problems that come with this.I have two A class ordered I will be ordering more at Christmas.

135 on Bog Road.

Hi Eamonn. Layout looking fab, shows off the 121 really well. Do you mind me asking which sound chip was that, the MM LokSound, or Mr SoundGuy Zimo? Sounds, great.

Hi Noel,that's the new Murphy 645 later sound chip.

cannie see any piccy there Eamon, just sound!

I dont know what happened  there,will try to sort it.

While I did not buy any Grey 121s(yet)A friend arrived at my house from north Wexford with 121 and a sound chip installed.So we wasted no time and Bog Road Level Crossing got its first 121 running.A very impressive  machine and the sound is superb.The layout is undergoing scenery  work at the moment.

Many many thanks to Paddy Murphy.Going back to the early 90s, not in your wildest dreams could we imagine how much the Irish scene could be transformed particularly with the 141/181s.Now with 121s and 001 class on the horizon,happy days.
