A wise decision and one to be commended on, Many thanks for you’re quick response Fran, it does give some welcome space between the 121s and 001s and let the bank balance recover...and maybe another one or two 001 purchases in 2021.

Well Fran....any news....????

Two photos taken in Portarlington station this morning of the real spoil wagons, 24/09/2020, Considering the wagons have been in service for a good few years,the bogies and under frame are relativity clean, but the inside of the boxes are heavily weathered.

Present day, see attached photo of the IWT liner this afternoon....

When the class 56 got into difficulties while hauling the empty HAA hoppers-it was routed the the loop at Ashburton grove, Assistance came in the shape of a single class 20 which in turn pushed the train and locomotive to the up siding,after detaching the 56 the 20 ran around and worked the train forward, Here are a few photos of that operation.....

Yes looking towards Galway, Approximately a half of a mile from the level crossing to the cutting-see previous photos We intend to get the standard gauge track down first then get some locomotives and rolling stock operational before we look at the other side of the road. Thank you Colin, It will be all 5'3'' gauge track so its mainly that type of rolling stock that will be required for operations. -

A great day of work was completed at the spectacular Maam cross station, The cutting crew from Cork were buried for most of the day in the jungle but came out on top after successfully conquering the vegetation, The combined Mayo and Sligo crew were busy painting the level crossing gate posts and erecting the new old style sign at the entrance to the station, I brought along my drone and took these photos from the air of the location.....enjoy...

A project I have been working on over the last few week has finally been finished, I decided to scratch build a model of the Irish rail inspection car 722 using photos I took of the real vehicle taken in Sligo station a few weeks ago, I used the motorized Bachmann Plasser OWB10 chassis which has a DCC 8 pin socket fitted, I am delighted with the result,I also added three permanent way figures to the interior to represent the driver and permanent way inspector and an engineer. Its another useful addition to the ever increasing Permanent way department on Tara Junction.

Always a pleasure lads....

You wait for one......and three come along.....when the Rail links met the Air link......
