  1. Its a big ask I know but would anyone have photos of the cab interior of the MGWR E/J26? I cant for the life of me establish whether they were screw or lever reverse and which side that was mounted on etc etc
  2. A class Validation print successful, both MGWR locos now entering the final stages before proper production
  3. Hot on the heels of the E, the A is ready for its validation print
  4. Excellent work, I have a 3d printed version of the transporter wagons available if you're interested (since been updated with built in NEM pockets) I had the chance to examine the surviving wagon, carriage and the magnificent Fire Queen back in May and its reignited my interest in this most interesting of railways
  5. validation print carried out and it fits the chassis, now to get on and finish the detail
  6. Im struggling to think of any other 4 wheel narrow gauge coaches in Ireland, were these the only ones? (some joker will point out the Listowel and Ballybunion coaches as technically riding on 4 wheels despite being on bogies)
  7. Some photos of no.13 I got at the Talyllyn back in May
  8. Id happily give volunteering hours, but I suspect theyd be better spent elsewhere, Ive given verbal promises to a handful of places including the Talyllyn and Listowel subject to the restoration of my vintage Austin, damn shame Jackie & co seemingly cant be contacted
  9. Someone told me recently these were paid for in cattle, is that true?
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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!
  13. Always loved those old Kirtley goods engines, yours captures them beautifully
  14. 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
  15. Excerpt from an article about the DWWR, sounds terribly interesting, no indication of what gauge other than presumably narrow
  16. The Vulcan Foundry supplied four to the Dublin and Wicklow in 1855, two of the 2-2-2 type and two 2-4-0s
  17. 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
  18. Cork and Macroom Direct Railway loco by Dubs
  19. another high quality image of 495 turned up on facebook today
  20. 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!
  21. 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;
  22. 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
  23. Railmotor no.92, location unknown
  24. I would have one of the MGWR Elf class for sure, probably a J30 too
