  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
  12. I'd imagine if they'd do any Caley loco apart from the 0-6-0s already done, itd be a 439, as theres an original to measure
  13. Photo from The Railway Magazine, 1898
  14. Elmwell Village on the Wisbech tramway;
  15. Those Dean pattern buffers you mention really are the closest thing for a lot of Irish prototypes, I have a set earmarked for a particular project
  16. Car on the left sticking its nose into shot is an Austin Somerset, so is the black one in front of the man with his hands on his hips, ask me how I know
  17. Steel underframe open goods wagon and goods van built by Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Co in 1922, identical underframes, 10 ton capacity each
  18. An absolute masterclass in traditional brass modelling, very heartening to see
  19. Some extremely good scratch and kit building on show by all this evening
  20. I believe I have mentioned these once or twice on here before, due to encouragement from J Mo, late last year 00n3 became more of a priority for my 3d printing outfit, Small Loco Works, so far Ive covered a few West Clare opens; Ive gone as far as to run off a few test prints of the dropside 3 plank, this one is the best result so far, though the brake lever has snapped off on this example (my fault) The models take 8mm diameter 12mm gauge wheels available through Dundas models, they are unfortunately not spoked but they'll have to do for now The print settings are not as yet perfected though really I expect to have this ironed out in the next print or two, so the only major element keeping these from being made available is the development of etched chopper couplings which will be included in the kits (I have not as yet entered the world of preparing artwork for etching)
  21. Thats incredible work, is it 4mm or 7mm? Can I also ask what orientation/angle/other settings you printed that in as whenever I do open wagons little pinprick holes appear between the planks if I print it any other way than with the top of the wagon facing the build plate which is not ideal as the entire floor becomes covered in the popmarks from the supports, my West Clare opens and others would certainly benefit from a better way of printing them
