Thanks lads, Here is 230 working a Mk3 set this morning passing NIR 208 shunting the cement and about to pass 220 working the 08:40 Shelton abbey-Marino point ammonia train.

They are from the Bachmann scene craft station figure range Brothie.

Yes Noel,I have done most of weathering of the locos and rolling stock myself except loco 229 which Seamus Graham done for me.

Evening lads, Another recent addition to the Tara jctn 201 locomotive fleet sees Enterprise liveried loco 230 join the other Enterprise locos 8208,209,227 and 233 at the MPD After a bit of weathering I noticed from photos that I have of the real 230 there were a few noticeable features namely one of the side grilles had been replaced-but not repainted,so I've recreated this with a grey grill at the cab 2 end, Also at the same end the electrification badge over the cab windows had been removed-or fallen off revealing the original orange livery beneath...again something different. Thank you to Seamus Graham for supplying the loco 230 runs light engine through Tara Jctn station en route to replace 209 off the De Dietrich Entrrprise set.

Confirmation at long last,Mk3s back on the Irish railway network in 2016....

Excellent work on the spoil wagons,they look great Kieran-a useful addition to you layout.

Really enjoyed it last year-although a little hungover on the Saturday morning, the tickets for this years event arrived in the post this morning Yes Fran some people seem to get over excited with a few rear end"blowouts"dropped at various exhibits...

Lovely work richrua particularly on the signal cabin,I was very tempted with those excellent card kits at the exhibition-but settled for some SSM 42'wagons instead.

Thanks gents-I'm looking forward to adding the SSM 42' flat wagons to the collection in the near future.

Thanks Richie-really useful and helpful guide.

208 is seen here shunting the cement liner-having placed three cement bubble wagons under the silo for unloading

NIR loco 208 entered traffic this evening hauling a mixed 12 wagon pallet/bubble cement liner 208 rounds the bend while working the two axle cement liner.

Thanks lads...

A superb piece of miniature engineering Des,I'm looking forward to building mine in the near future.

Thanks lads, Yes Rich after a few modifications it certainly has improved the overall look of the loco, Here is another photo this time a comparison of the blue liveries on 8113 and 208

And later on-208 is seen making its first test run.

Spotted on the back of a low loader earlier was NIR blue 208,having been offloaded at Northwall this morning-it's en route to Tara Jctn MPD.

Too late for that now Seamus....!!!!

I like the look of 230,not sure about 233, Really like the NIR blue and will probably get 208 and 230, There goes the wedding fund money!!!
