Excellent stuf there bud,just the way I remember them in the final years on the Rosslare line,Filthy and corrosion causing problems.
-
Glad ye like the photos and video.

Well welcome to the site. Yes poor 121 was damaged with its traction motor cables and body damage.She was coupled to a 141 and another 141 had to come from Waterford light engine and push the whole train back to New Ross after the fire was put out.The train stabled overnight and returned to Waterford the next day.The line was closed shortly and I think only a inspection car only ran after that.

If you go to page 5 of General chat You will see near the bottom-Waterford -Ballinacourty revisited.Sorry I can't link it as I am on my I pod touch at the moment

I posted up photos of the Waterford-Ballinacourty revisited back in the summer after having a look at the former line near Durrow tunnel and ballyvoyle viaduct which I found Nearly impossible in parts to get through with the overgrown nature of the line and pure bog in parts. The New Ross line is almost impassible as well with the weed killer train going on fire near Glenmore in1995 which Caused 121 herself to never return to traffic.I have a tape recording of some including the Waterford and Borris lines.

Very impressive.
-
Bloody fantastic,well done.
-
I am looking out for ideas myself and looking at other people's layouts gives plenty to think about.
-
As I still dont have a proper layout,and I having to try and see about a proper man shed to hold any future layout,I was down today to see my 112 and 082 on Gerrys Ballybeg and include a video of today and a bit showing the Wexford show a few weeks back. And a bit of video-

Never mind those locos,My MIR white metal 121 got vexed with me one night and jumped off the old high viaduct that I had and smashed in bits in front of me!.Some tears were shed and she emerged from Inchicore,sorry the shed following repairs.
-
It sure is great work Ant,and I hope to try this some time in the future as the look of the front of the loco is improved greatly,and thanks for posting up how to do it.
-
Well done and as the lads said keep up the good work.
-
Lovly stuff there Barl,well done.

You might need a table for "refreshments".But seriously I think a stand would be a great idea,along with what Glenderg said with photos of layouts.It is the nuts and bolts of this hobby People starting off find hardest to get info on. Once people see that we are very open and happy to help with any questions,they will join and enjoy the hobby more. Welcome to the site to any new folks.

Hi Patrick,would you believe that the said wagons were stored in my local Station- Enniscorthy from about 1983 till the mid 90s when they were removed.Do you think I took tons of photos of them?.No,and I even stood on the top of them taking shots of steam specials and never thought of the historic value of these wagons.When the Ballinacourty branch closed in 1982 they were stored in Clonmel for year as far as I know.Photos of them in action on the Ballinacourty branch are hard to find.Perhaps someone else might have more info,or you could try the Irish Railway Record Society.

Now that would be a nice chassis to get.lol
-
Thanks for posting,I enjoyed that.
-
She looks great bud,and great job on the turntable-very realistic.
-
Wonderful paint job,fair play to you.

As I have fitted a horny deltic chassis to my a39,and as I found out the extra weight will be needed for good running as she won't pull much and any sort of incline brings it to a halt.Now that I will have time to get back to long finger projects-a39 needs to get some attention regarding extra weight.The deltic motor is a great runner even at slow speed.
-
Well I did see the model at the show last weekend,I have to agree that price is too much, and model is toylike in appearance,however fairplay for having a go at the model.
