  1. Has the look of a Stroudley proto-terrier about it, always liked those engines
  2. The latest print, 47c, with provision for peco couplings
  3. Which, incidentally, they don't seem to have steamed since its initial delivery nearly 2 years ago, but that hasn't deterred them wanting another already;
  4. As it happens I was discussing the Portsmouth Show not an hour since and agreed, there were some extraordinary layouts there (I wasnt there just looking at pictures), I remarked however that Northport Quay was the absolute highlight for me
  5. Honestly you would be far better off repainting a Bachmann one, the current Hornby tooling goes back to at least 1978 from what I can tell
  6. You forgot the two holes drilled in these positions;
  7. Be warned the wheelbase of the GS&W loco is 6'+7' 11"+6' for a total of 19' 11" while the wheelbase of the Lanky class 5 is significantly longer at 7' 10 1/2" + 8' 7" + 7' 10 1/2" for a total of 24ft 4", a discrepancy of 17.66mm in 00, that said if thats alright with you, Im sure you could make a nice facsimile of the Ivatt locos, as seen above (incidentally Ive also checked the Lanky against the WLWR Lough Derg and the same problem arises)
  8. I'd be printing the deck, the files wouldnt be going anywhere so Id be more than happy to make them for other people, but at 45 foot, I dont know would that be enough for more modern locos
  9. Im wondering if any good photos exist showing the detail of the table formerly at Limerick Works, Ive seen one photo from WLW days, and Ernie Shepherds book states it as being 45 feet dia, when was this table removed? TIA
  10. The knobs or the wire? The 0.45mm wire is easily and cheaply got example; https://www.ebay.ie/itm/314028254696 The knobs can be got from Narrow Planet; https://www.lightrailwaystores.co.uk/collections/components/products/handrail-knobs-4mm-3-5mm Between purchase cost, postage and import tax though the last order I made with them (3 bags of 16 knobs, 2 bags of 3 smokebox darts) came to 50 euro, I was raging for days
  11. Found yesterday on one of my strolls on the interwebs whilst looking for something else, perhaps of interest
