  5. Happy Christmas to all fellow modellers ,here's to a fantastic 2020 for Irish railway modellers, A final round up at the junction...the postman has collected the last of the Christmas mail from the TPO at the station, 083.077.071 and 080 receive attention at the MPD prior to the Christmas shutdown. Retro 073 arrives at the Lakeview freight deport with the last IWT liner of the year.
  6. The containers are push fit, and not glued to the container lugs. Gents-regarding the container lugs-or "spuds "as they were locally known is it possible for them to be supplied as an extra in a packet of six to eight?, there is a recess on the frame of the wagons where these were always stored. Thanks
  7. Unfortunately not, I think they have ceased trading a while back, they were superbly built models and I am still delighted with mine.
  8. A present day look at what can be achieved with the superb IRM bogie liner wagons and the equally fantastic range of containers from C-Rail....

With the welcome increase in container liner business traffic, the Lakeview freight yard welcomed its extra liner train last night, consisting of BELL & B&I lines containers, Here we see locomotives 183+156 arrive at Lakeview with the liner and run around the liner, after unloading and reloading took place locomotive 073 arrived fresh from the MPD to work the liner back to Waterford, Anyway pictures speak louder than words......enjoy-as much as I am.....
