  1. Oh dear perhaps I oughn't to have done such an adequate job on the 800 LOL but no if we get enough backing Id love to do this whats the rule of thumb? 'if you have a 4-4-0 and an 0-6-0 you can run 99% of Irish steam era trains' or in the earlier era a 2-4-0 and 0-6-0
  2. Its already looking very elegant indeed, seems to glide along
  3. I for one wont be going back to them, I was getting a lot of complaints from customers about the shocking print quality, I was making very very little money, and my customers were being charged through the nose (2-3 times what I charge for high quality resin prints), I had abandoned them long before they declared bankruptcy
  4. 234 at Mullingar, shot by Casserley, 7th June 1932, sporting distinctly Midland style smokebox chimney and buffers, I understand this was one of the last 2 of the class built which became redundant before delivery due to the GSWR takeover of the WLW (plenty of J15s to go around after all!), with subsequent sale to the Midland
  5. Hi Rob, its making slow and steady progress in the background, my main priority at the moment is finishing up some payed jobs before the end of the year, but providing theyre done in the next 3 weeks or so, I hope to make significant progress on the WLWR loco over Christmas week Latest progress is sandbox fillers, running board steps and the start of smokebox mounted lubricators P.S Ive also been chatting with J Mo about doing the ugly rebuilt versions, which I imagine will be more in keeping with most peoples modelling periods, if lacking the elegance of the 1890s/1900s version
  6. yes on all counts, and thank you very much
  7. Ive come across a photo of 27 after rebuilding in Locomotives and Railways volume 4 (1903), so thats one checked off the list
  8. My wallet really didnt need me to see the Chaldron wagon 3 packs reduced down to 44 euro! Edit; after ordering 2 sets they're only 32 euro each before postage tax etc, bargain and perfect to go with the Manning Wardle I have on order with Rapido
  9. Just added a few more items
  10. Ive just done up a quick google doc of various items Id like to move on, take a browse if you like and dm me if theres any questions or offers, I dont know how much interest there will be as its mostly british stuff, but we all know the perils and expense of importing so its handiest to offer the stuff here first before sending it back over to Brexitstan! Ill be adding more when these are gone and keeping the doc updated, thanks for looking https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hKmWM8x-OkyMy67sDcX2vrHQMyjAG7mfCHt6PfnQ2QQ/edit?tab=t.0
  11. They're quite good little engines really, lots of diecast on them, I also have the W4 but that ones fate is decided as a chassis to go under a printed body! I have quite a few other british locos and stock to be selling on as I have a garden railway and a vintage Austin to fund
  12. I have a green NCB version of the B2 peckett if thats any good? bought it for the chassis but I wont get around to that project any time soon, Id do it for 100
  13. Shades of the Listowel and Ballybunion drawbridges
  14. Utterly humbling to see what people are able to do with the prints I supply Colin - there should be enough room between the inside faces of the splashers to build to 21mm, but I imagine people building to that standard would prefer the SSM kit
  15. The coarse stone is wonderful stuff, I just wish they sold it in bigger sheets, until now I didnt know about the random stone, and googling it, it does look rather odd, I think Ill be sticking with the coarse
  16. Ive also been looking for as much WLWR material as I can acquire, but at the moment the best I can do for you is a photo of 27 Thomond before rebuilding, from, if memory serves the Clare county council website linked here a few months ago
  17. Ciaran Cooney on Twitter reckons its a southbound Athenry-Limerick working seen at Ennis with the WCR lines in the background
  18. The 2-4-0s (GSR class G3) were very nice engines, first built 1889 last withdrawn 1959. They're a strong contender for my next project after the 0-6-0 is finished
  19. yes indeed! for anyone that wants one Ill be supplying extras
  20. The last piece in the 800 class puzzle, the smokebox handwheel
  21. I dont suppose you have the instructions for that? I have one to build too but unfortunately no instructions
  22. If youre to do so at home, you need a printer that will print white (rather than toner) they're out there for a price, but theyre not especially common The good folks at Railway Mania do custom transfers to order
  23. Always a pleasure to see your work Gibbo, you make what are quite difficult conversions (Fowler to W mogul in particular) look easy, great to see
