I for one would be more than happy to 3d print in resin the necessary parts to complete the kits, providing the relevant reference material drawings etc was supplied

Railmotor no.92, location unknown

I would have one of the MGWR Elf class for sure, probably a J30 too

0-4-2 tank, a rare type in Ireland, tender versions were common enough in the 19thC The WLWR did however have a very handsome example

It never ceases to amaze me Alan how you manage to churn out brass scratchbuilds of such quality in a matter of a few weeks, just incredible!

Today theyve announced a GNR Atlantic tank, that seems quite the useful fodder for bashing https://rapidotrains.co.uk/lner-c12-4-4-2t/

Thats some excellent work there, Ive been considering a J11 for a 57xx chassis as I believe theyre quite close in terms of wheelbase/diameters, just going to include these drawings in case you hadnt them already

A very rarely photographed loco, Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners no.2

The descriptions sound terribly interesting, unfortunately the first link gives me a 404 error, the rest 403

I recently got some old bound volumes of the Railway Magazine, amongst the gems contained therein, some quite wonderful old BCDR locos

This must be a very early photo, it shows one of the early series of outside cylinder 2-2-2 tanks owned by the Dublin and Kingstown (Princess et al) which would have started out on 4' 8 1/2" gauge

I was thinking the same thing, featuring one of the first series of W&LR express locos, a Stothert and Slaughter outside cylinder 2-2-2, a class definitely on my 'to model' list! Ernie Shepherd, in his book on the WLWR states the drawing I attach is incorrect in as much as the rear carrying wheels should apparently have outside bearings, but doesnt provide a source, would anyone know what this is in reference to?

I found that extremely enjoyable, its great to have faces to put to so many names, the highlights for me included the gorgeous Tralee and Dingle tank in 15mm scale and the Lartigue layout

Ill try and make it tomorrow, might bring the odd print with me
