I wonder if this is an indication that Rails have taken over the Murphy projects? More chance of IRM/Accurascale taking over any future Murphy models projects rather than Rails, I personally don’t hold out much hope on any forthcoming MM projects since the passing of the legend that was Paddy Murphy. RIP I hope I’m proved wrong……

58003 heads a westbound MGR train as 45106 heads east with an oil train on Ashburton grove.

The Inchicore-Limerick wheel and bogie wagon transfer is seen here at Tara junction behind locomotive 080.

Vintage tea now offer evenings around Tara junction with their route master double decker.

A few bits and pieces left to be done on it.

A few more photos from an enjoyable morning shunting locomotives around the running shed area at Inchicore.

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.

Any list of traders and layouts yet?

Thanks to @Past-Avenuefor supplying the grain wagons-they finally made it to Ballisodare mill sidings this morning,having been worked from Sligo goods-and seen passing through Tara junction prior to their arrival, They are seen here arriving behind 185 and being shunted by B188.

Can’t see that happening-it was a horrible livery

Superb work Jason

A second locomotive 129 was recently purchased from @WRENNEIRE this becoming the fifteenth 121 on Tara junction, This loco will be renumbered as 135, Having completed running in the locomotive-it was allocated to the outer suburban Park Royal set-and after arrival at the station it was uncoupled from the set and operated to the turntable to be turned then back to work the return service to Dublin Connolly.
