Looking well Derek-the roof of the C classes were more cream than white

You could do two Park Royal ambulance coaches and the Ballina based E class ambulance bus in a “special limited edition pack”……..a bit like the Titfield thunderbolt pack…..just sayin….

Thanks gents.

Another new locomotive arrival is 47 556….the third 47 on Ashburton grove-seen here on an Easter Motorail special to Penzance.

Gobshite.

Flying Scotsman out on trial with its support coach and three other coaches providing brake force for the train.

They are to be moved over to the Connolly RPSI loco shed in the next few weeks, The sidings where they were,have been lifted and are to be relaid to stable the new BEMUs.

Very nice and neat Jason

Yes.

It’s a Good Friday on Ashburton grove as a new arrival in the shape of Rapido trains class 45-(45115) joins the fleet,seen here alongside sister Peak locomotive 44007.

Me too….

A 450 class NIR railcar visits the bay platform at Tara junction, 6105+130 leads an Athlone-Dublin Connolly Mk3 push pull set into the platform having be given a proceed aspect in signal TJ101-the Hornby signal box being the oldest item on the layout-it’s fifty years old at this stage. 017 has charge of the Galway-Dublin Heuston Mk2D set Arrow railcar 2601+2602 are seen getting an FOW exam at the MPD

6x1ft excluding the new fiddle yard which has yet to be fitted.

Make Accurascale Great Again……

Ballisodare mill sidings, B125 has charge of the goods van train to Sligo,under the new layout lighting. 001 lines up alongside 225 to jump start the locomotive. B188 has charge of a short per-way train.

Murphy models next ????

Congratulation on your acquisition - looking forward to the re release of the container crane

It would be an ideal project-lots of traffic potential from Galway/Mayo lines at the west end and Mullingar/Portarlington at the east end -the Shannon bridge would be an impressive sight-good luck if you progress with it.

Lucky to have 071,073,220 and 2601+2602 in retro liveries thanks to the IE CME who allowed and was enthusiastic about the repaints-I can’t see any more locomotives or railcars being repainted into any retro liveries-the 071s in particular will be gone within five more years.

082 is named the institute of mechanical engineers

Thanks Gents

Thanks Derek, They are MIR resin/white metal kits built and weathered by myself-I replaced the bogies on them with the IRM ones a few years ago.

Thanks Gents-happy with the progress so far.

Thank you.

001 shunts some wagons into position for unloading at the Mill sidings. The newly installed overhead lighting has improved the area.
