Another book I picked up at the Wexford show-Railways in Ireland part 4-Great Southern and Western by Martin Bairstow.Great photos and ideal for model reference. Also the two dvds of the West Cork Railways come highly recommended.

I dont know how long it will be before the chip is released.I was at Downpatrick for the recordings as Gerry Byrne who organised everything could not go so I got the job of driver for Mr sound guy.Anthony came along as well and we had a great time.The staff were very friendly and helpfull,and even have a small layout in a station room.Here is a video of actual recording on the way to Inch Abbey with a empty stock working.You might hear me asking the driver how thirsty is A39 on diesel and he replys -18 lts a hour ticking over.Click on image to view.

For the good of the hobby-that's what says it all for me.

Very slow progress even though there not too much left to do. I will be getting a sample of the new A class sound chip soon so when She is good to go I will post up photos and video.

I don't know if this is possible but I will talk to Gerry Byrne to see if mr Sound Guy can do this. By the way the locos that were recorded back in 2007 for the locos were 211-185-088. It was pointed out to me that 185 has a clanking in the idling of the engine that is reproduced On the sound chip.I don't know if this is fault on 185 at the time but it seems she had this noise when recording took place.

Yes I told a good few people.I feel very much at home here and it's good to see more mod.

Your "check it out" did not last very long on some other site.

Wow is all I can say:)

I sprayed them red oxide with can of ral 3009(Vinne Byrne) and then gray paint-cant remember which.

Thanks Rich.I do prefer rtr stock but there comes a time when you have to build and Paint stock that you want.

Glad you like it Seamus and yes its a cracker and great for modelling Purposes as well.

Thanks Dave for that.I am thinking of selling 201 and 217 with boxes but detailed at one end.

Yes 012 looks great,plenty of dirt and filth:)

I was thinking of one of these photos for my avatar,what do people like?.

Thats true Dave,I have a soft spot for 071 herself.God the wallet is going to takea bashing.

Yes that sounds good Rich,now to find the bloody photo.

I was not going to bother with a 112,but she will blend in on any train due to her long stay down south a few years back. 082 sounds great in freight livery,although I was hoping that 071 herself would appear in IR or IE livery.

I think IR livery will be my fav,and like you said I will have to see how many I can afford to. The first delivery in October will be NIR,Freight,Super Train.

Great to see ye here lads.I feel at home already. I have not stuck up my avatar photo yet as I might stick up a new one,and I may have a trawl through the photo albums.

How much are Lima orange 201s going for now?.

That looks fantastic.

Good Day lads,Its nice to be here.All the best with the new site. Eamonn aka enniscorthyman
