    In Model Railways August 1978 there are drawings for two different MGWR 6 wheelers, I can scan these in if they'd be of use

    Truly exceptional work, Ill be interested to see how you get on balancing the 2-2-2

    Magnificent stuff, I believe Francis Wishaw, writing of the Dublin and Kingstown in 1841 described those yellow second class coaches as being 'superior to any in use in the United Kingdom', lovely stuff

    HMRS have drawings of the 6 wheel brakes, listed under CIE HMRS Drawings

    Ive created models and sold them via shapeways before and even their highest quality materials leave a lot to be desired, especially when compared with home resin printers, Ive invested in an Elegoo Mars Pro and its results are similar to those shown by Robert Roche and KMCE above which speak for themselves. I maintain brass/nickel silver are best, for loco chassis at least which is why I'm looking at producing kits which incorporate both, for things like wagons however (I have some West Clare opens and flats on the long finger) Ive found printed works for everything except wheels and couplings

    I take it you have these drawings, J Mo? [Cork, Bandon and South Coast, Locomotive 19-20, Erecting Card Drawing No. 3731] - Railroads - Photographs, Manuscripts, and Imprints - SMU Digital Collections

    Aye, the DSER bought 6 of them in 1902, London Road Models make a kit of them (as well as, incidentally, the 'Special Tanks' of the same design as used on the Dundalk Newry and Greenore Rly)

    A similar Neilson, their no.1126/1865, according to this site their 1127 and 1144 appear to be the same class so I imagine Oberon was in that range also

    Guns in the Heather I believe was filmed on the Long Pavement-Ardnacrusha branch with B151 (was this the only instance of a diesel on the Ardnacrusha branch?) THE SECRET OF BOYNE CASTLE | British Railway Movie Database

    I was browsing this Swiss website last night which has a fair few works photos, I reckon a few people on here might be interested in these ETH Zürich - ETH-Bibliothek - E-PICS Index - ETHBIB.Bildarchiv

    I think it should stay exactly where it is, or should we have no 5' 3" steam in the republic?

    This class consisted of only two engines built in 1869 at Inchicore, nos 33 and 34, drawings from Locomotive Engineering and the Mechanism of Railways by Zerah Colburn

    Lovely work as always, I always liked the G2s, pity one was not preserved, were they the last main line 2-4-0s in service in the British Isles?
  15. Killian Keane
    Thats quite interesting, I usually do my stuff around 16 degrees on my Mars, what machine are you using?
  16. Killian Keane
    They're superbly weathered well done
  17. Killian Keane
    Thats looking very nice, I wonder if it might be an idea to print the tank itself as a separate item that could plug into the chassis?

    Under the foreshore at Wisbech in England there is supposed to be a Bury 2-2-0 which became... well Buried, I say 2-2-0 the wheels had been coupled by pulleys and a leather belt
  19. Killian Keane
    Aaaah yes of course, Im familiar with such things being used on traction engines but rarely does one see it on a locomotive, I believe the WW1 Baldwin engines were fitted up with them come to think of it

    E410 was the first diesel on the Fenit branch I'm told
  22. Killian Keane
    This is the only photo Ive seen of the engine in its Donegal condition, the timber cab surely being an addition so I'd agree it'd have been open originally, what the hosepipe is for I have no idea
  23. Killian Keane
    So that'll be the same class as Bruckless/Skylark which was the contractors loco for the Donegal-Killybegs section of the CDR

    The chassis from a Bachmann J11 is quite close dimensionally to a Big D, 5' 2" wheels on a 17' 1" wheelbase on the J11 and 5' 1" wheels on a 16' 11" wheelbase on the Big D, body would need scratchbuilding or printing though

    This photo was published in the Railway Magazine for May 1961, the caption reads 'Train for Rosslare, headed by "J15" no. 182, running along the front at Wexford on August 14' Theres a few other interesting photos published with it including one of 184 on an IRRS special at Ballylinan, Ill scan it in if anyone is interested
