048 has charge of a single goods brake van at the Lakeview freight yard -another recent purchase from the excellent Ck prints range,

Two more of @Past-Avenue two axle flat wagons arrive at Ballisodare mill sidings complete with ten foot uniload containers.

I recently completed a Silver fox BR GSV kit of van number 3172, It is seen here undergoing a trial run with a new Park Royal coach 1400 and hauled by locomotive 018, Reminds me of what the Ballina branch train in the late 1980s looked like. Hornby mag lights were also fitted to the GSV,as was interior detail., which included water tanks at both ends and a generator.

Two pre ordered-sound fitted 215 and 234 with three more planned,

Tara junction. C class locomotive 225 is seen here on the back of a low loader making its final journey to Vic Berry’s scrapyard in Leicester earlier this evening…making way for a new batch of forthcoming IRM C class locomotives on the future.

A great venue-lovely to meet so many like minded people, Highly recommend a visit

Great to see the highly detailed models of the 800 class-the presentation box is a nice touch.

Seriously impressed by the quality and detail of the ICR.

Delighted with this announcement and great to see the samples at the exhibition earlier -well done IRM

The 08 and 47 share the shunting duties at the factory sidings

NIR Hunslet locomotive 102 arrives at Tara junction with a laden two axle cement train from Limerick to Belfast which it took over in Northwall-and after 087 passed through with a Cork express Mk3 set-it departed for Belfast, Meanwhile 048 passes through with the 17:10 Fridays only Cravens set to Ballina. Function 7 (drive hold) and function 5 ( heavy load) have been used to good effect on 102 and really brings out the super sound on the locomotive.

Currently in the workshop is a silver fox BSK GSV kit which will become 3172 to compliment 3173.

Having put in some mileage since entering service on Tara junction,Mk2 a/b coach 4103 was shunted into position by locomotive 190 at the MPD to allow a bogie exchange to take place. Click on the video to see the operation taking place.
