1. Around 1994.

2. I recently saw a photo of a baby GM with the IR logo in 2004.

The permanent way department received a couple of deliveries today which will be used for essential works reconstructing a nearby embankment. 

The freight livery 071 looks great hauling the kegs. If the Guinness traffic lasted just one more year that could've happened in real life. 

More lunacy... This lad has a habit of over charging for Northern models.

Martin, presumably the grey version will not have the side handrails? 

That's 134 in its soon to be condition. So it has all of the present day mods but a preserved livery. 

Can we get a project 22' or pallet cements next?

I have 5102 and a damaged IÉ mk2 for sale if anyone is interested.

Superb edit and audio mix

Thanks Noel. I hope to do more. But I never recorded 121, 141, 181 videos! 

A few shots of my layout last weekend.

Audio recorded on the real railway last week.

112 heads for Belfast with a Richardson Fertiliser train. 208 later passes with a laden Platin to North Wall cement train. 

220 in the yard.

"First proper attempt"? It's superb!!

Can't wait to start the 20 footer!

To help with the 201 bias a pair of GMs were rostered onto the keg liner tonight. 

Below are a few photos of the Hunt couplings on the keg wagons. 

I saw on Facebook a, couple of days ago that someone is 3d printing the plug doors for converting BR Mk3s into Irish ones. 

Hunt Couplings are to release an "Elite" Coupling on the 29th. So I'm wondering what that will be... Will it be an automatic coupling? 

The most subtle coupling system I've seen is the Bachmann pipe coupling cut in half with magnets put on each piece to joint them together. But again, you need to seperate rolling stock manually with them. 

I've put them on all of my Irish stock. See the link below.

Thank lads! This is my first proper attempt at a layout so I'm delighted with the feedback. 

080 feeling a bit under appreciated hailing a very light keg liner. The traffic is about to get much heavier from this week on... 

Meanwhile 143 works a branch service.

Excuse me if I remember wrongly, but I seem to recall reading, not on this forum I add, that there would be another batch but I don't think they were to be Supertrain.

The IR livery hasn't been done yet. 

The last few shots for this weekend. River Blackwater arrives in the loop with a liner train.

192 is still sitting on the newly built fuel siding made up of a pump room, storage tanks and drains to carry away waste. I hope to get a larger tank for storage and keep the two shown for waste fuel storage. 

192 refueling. 

So apparently it isn't actually 10ft long... Would anyone have a small piece of the start of ID Backscenes 239B to save me buying a completely new backscene for a few inches? 

192 having a rest.
