  1. Someone told me recently these were paid for in cattle, is that true?
  2. All I'll say regarding the J26 is wait and see, I have confidence itll be the closest looking Irish model to its prototype Ive done
  3. After his time with the GS&WR Alexander McDonnell moved to the North Eastern in England and produced some very familiar looking locos in the shape of classes 38 and 59, dead ringers for the much more long lived 52 and 101 classes
  4. Bachmanns wonderful new NER class E has arrived with me this week, and what a beautiful model it is, but its getting nervous at me measuring its chassis!
  5. Always loved those old Kirtley goods engines, yours captures them beautifully
  6. If anyone going to the Limerick show on the 20th/21st wants a K class smokebox door or other bits Im happy to bring them along as I expect to be there
  7. Excerpt from an article about the DWWR, sounds terribly interesting, no indication of what gauge other than presumably narrow
  8. The Vulcan Foundry supplied four to the Dublin and Wicklow in 1855, two of the 2-2-2 type and two 2-4-0s
  9. Its been quite some time since Ive updated but rest assured Ive been beavering away behind the scenes and I have big things planned, the Rebuilt A 4-4-0 is looking closer to completion
  10. Cork and Macroom Direct Railway loco by Dubs
  11. another high quality image of 495 turned up on facebook today
  12. 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!
  13. 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;
  14. 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
  15. Railmotor no.92, location unknown
  16. I would have one of the MGWR Elf class for sure, probably a J30 too
  17. 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
  18. A couple of lorry cabs at Dingle, 1951
  19. 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!
  20. Today theyve announced a GNR Atlantic tank, that seems quite the useful fodder for bashing https://rapidotrains.co.uk/lner-c12-4-4-2t/
  21. 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
  22. A very rarely photographed loco, Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners no.2
  23. The descriptions sound terribly interesting, unfortunately the first link gives me a 404 error, the rest 403
  24. I recently got some old bound volumes of the Railway Magazine, amongst the gems contained therein, some quite wonderful old BCDR locos
  25. 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
