  1. The order has been placed-see you at the exhibition for a chat gents
  2. Well done gentlemen, I'm delighted someone has stepped up to the mark and actually started the ball rolling with this venture,and I will certainly support this project and others,
  3. A fabulous new look to the site, well done gents-coupled with the announcement of a rtr ballast wagon.....we are certainly on to a winner.
  4. Impressive work there Dave,well done.
  5. Afternoon gentlemen, I've always liked the weed effect on old sidings at stations,so I've tried to recreate this with this scene as it has blended in well with the hillside, I'm happy with the result, 190+146 have charge of the branch train which comprises of a BR van,a Cravens coach and two Park royals.
  6. 22133-It worked the 18:15 Heuston-Westport and will return to Dublin working the 07:15 in the morning.
  7. Delighted to see Connolly station finished Paul-and more so to the large variety of stock that will be passing through, You certainly have a winner there and I would expect a first place prize for your efforts at any exhibition that you attend in the future, I'll look forward now to you building Heuston station in the future-complete with the Luas.
  8. Good afternoon gentlemen, As the real loco 083 has started touring the country with the Sperry train, I decided to ask the loco fleet controller could he allocate an 071 loco to my own Sperry train, I smiled when I seen 083 come off the MPD and set about shunting part of the weedspray train and Sperry wagon together for this years programme.... Here we see 083 haul the Sperry train along the up fast line through Tara Jctn station,it's going to be a busy afternoon for the train as it shares the lines with the various passenger services.
  9. Yes Michael-during early days of operation.....In later years any formation would be put together,the only thing that could be relied upon was that the EGV was either the first or last coach....
  10. Thanks lads-very much appreciated.
  11. Saturday evening at the new fuelling point at the west end of Tars Jctn sees locos 073,080,084,087 and 088 test out the facility
  12. A typical formation was--EGV, Compo, diner,followed up to six standards,OR EGV,diner,five standards,and spare diner.
  13. I attended this exhibition for the first time earlier today, There was a nice crowd there and a nice selection of layouts on display,however I was a little bit disappointed in the lack of any Irish-(North or South) themed modern image layout, Nice to have met baseboard Dave and Murrayec and the lads from Dublin. I picked up a MM 201 for a bargain price which made my day.
  14. A useful addition to your wonderful layout Andy, Is the Bus garage from the Metcalfe range or did you scratch build it?
  15. I always look forward to your updates Kieran-
  16. When I saw 087 in Inchicore about two years ago-I thought to myself that was the end of it, It was only a shell, no engine, cooling fans,radiators all were missing, It was great to see it brought back to life again.
  17. Nice shots there Noel-how do you find the Lenz 25 decoder-are they any good?
  18. Thanks Fran.
  19. Des-the notice said..."The handbrake is temporarily disconnected on this locomotive,please use scotches to secure before any movement".
