    another high quality image of 495 turned up on facebook today

    The ffestiniog enginemen were extremely fond of their single Fairlies, it was remarked that if there were railways in heaven that they must use single Fairlies! 33/4 would be one Id be very interested to see, not that we'd likely see one on the main line now due to the very small water capacity, but Downpatrick or Maam Cross!

    Scanned from a Casserley print in my collection, at Inchicore 24/4/53; From the relevant volume of Locomotive and train working in the latter part of the 19th Century by Ahrons; Then theres this elusive creature, seemingly an earlier iteration of the same, source unknown but found posted on facebook some years ago;

    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

    A couple of lorry cabs at Dingle, 1951

    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
  14. Killian Keane
    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
  17. Killian Keane
    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
  19. Killian Keane
    Ill try and make it tomorrow, might bring the odd print with me
  20. Killian Keane
    Try the Lartigue Museum if you're ever nearby, they sell old railway mags, Ive a few hundred to bring them next time I'm down!
  21. Killian Keane
    Two from my collection, from my late grandfather

    An excerpt from the Locomotive Magazine, 1934, relating to the Guinness system, one detail that jumped out at me as new information was the green livery for the Hudswell locos at the time rather than the blue we are more familiar with now
  23. Killian Keane
    Question thats only now occurred to me about this line, the locos and stock would have had to be transported by the W&L to Listowel, but how would they have actually done it? I dont imagine the stabilising wheel frames under the front of the locos could have taken their weight, so if they were being moved on their own wheels then a section of Lartigue track must have been set up on top of 5' 3" open or flat wagons, what a bizarre sight it must have been!
  24. Killian Keane
    The Loch comes as a very pleasant surprise, you never quite know what you're going to get from Rapido!
  25. Killian Keane
    Did the locos whistles play all the right notes just in the wrong order?
