Fantastic looking wagon gents-any chance of placing a 20' tank in the centre of the wagon just for comparison please? Or two tanks to replicate the empty tank return working-for present day modelling? See attached photos.

With the ever increasing locomotive fleet and the forthcoming models of the 121 and 001 class locomotives the new wheel lathe was installed over the weekend at the MPD on Tara junction, Here we see locomotive 0117072 become the first locomotive to use the facility, The CME observes proceedings as they prepare to move 072 onto the lathe, Here are a few photos of the operation.

With thanks to GSI345 for commissioning another fantastic CIE model, Here we see the two new arrivals being welcomed by the depot supervisor and staff of the Tara junction bus garage, After being given a once over by the fitters they were soon put to use by the fleet controller....

Some more lighting has been added to the West end depot at Tara junction station. Thank you to Baseboard Dave for supplying the tower lights which have really transferred the night time operation of various parts of the layout. The pilot driver has moved 2601+2602 from the station to No1 fuelling point road while the cleaners refresh the interior, while that is happening the driver places locomotives 220 and 221 at numbers 2 and 3 roads for fuelling and later moves them into the shed for the fitters to examine and attend to any defects which may be noted in the log books,

I bought the fantastic newly released Bachmann class 90-(90 005) in Intercity livery-while on a recent visit to the UK, Its a superb model, with the retractable buffers to the raising and lowering feature of the pantograph and different light setting.

Maybe three years jhb, our mutual friend formally of Connolly shed and valeting plant will fill us in on his next outing on the RPSI..... Here is a photograph of mine I found of one of the IR logo Cravens in a derailed state outside Claremorris on 24/06/1989 while part of a Knock special from Balbriggan to Claremorris.

From my notes, Cravens coaches 1511,1516,1522,1544 and 1557 received the large IR logos on the sides.

The new permanent way sidings and ore loading point have recently benefited from some new lighting-the four strip LED lights were purchased from the Homestore and more shopping outlets for E20. Here we see the spoil train being unloaded while 074 & 082 ticking over while awaiting their next turn of duty.....
