  1. Thanks for the update,gives me more time to invest in more sound chips for the A
  2. It’s an orange liveried themed bank holiday weekend on Tara junction with 124+134 allocated to work the ten piece Mk2 a/b set which is to work the Heuston-Galway-Heuston route all via Tara Jctn of course
  3. Bank holiday activity on Ashburton grove
  4. A return to Maam cross today for a driver/ guard refresher training which took place in glorious warm sunshine.
  5. That sure was a quick nine years....Tara junction has certainly evolved through that time from a learning curve with DCC to the present day and the purchase of an ESU lokprogrammer to add even more variety to the sound chipped locomotives....Thank you to everyone that has commented on the layout during that time and to IRM and Murphy models for the fantastic models ....it has been an interesting journey
  6. Good plan Robert,you could extend the container siding and install a facing point on the left which in turn would allow a freight/permanent way locomotive run around its train.via the platforms thus avoiding blocking up the station area, it would also provide you with a loop Something similar to the track plan of the current Longford yard.
  7. Some early morning photos of the MPD at Tara junction,with various types of locomotives under going servicing and on standby. 126 has arrived with the weekly oil train transfer.

  12. No-a good friend who is a master model maker converted it, Its an N gauge model.

  14. Sunday night at the Tara junction MPD We see retro liveried locomotives 071 & 073 undergo fuelling and servicing
  15. Yes-it’s operating the Supabus route from Leeds to Dublin.....
  16. With the increase in the container business at the Lakeview freight yard, an investment has been made in an additional reach-stacker which arrived at the freight yard earlier, After unloading it was immediately put to work alongside the existing reach stacker.... Thank you to gentleman Ray of Die-cast models 4u shop in Galway for supplying the model-along with many others, Well worth a visit-when lockdown is lifted

  20. Around late 1988/89 the logos would have been applied and probably removed when repainted in 1994 prior to the introduction of the plug and socket IE logo in 1994.
  21. Seen here crossing the Moy bridge on the Ballina branch a few days ago
  22. And put to work on the streets of Tara junction.....
  23. Prototypical operation at its finest-always look forward to your updates Gareth-well done.
  24. Hi Robert, I used Revell dark blue number 51 on my 29000 railcar-the tin of green paint came from Jim Poots and was used for the light green on his Dublin bus double deck kits and doesn’t have any number. See the photo for comparison.
