  1. British speed icons from the 1970s on Ashburton grove as we see Concorde G-BOAF pass over BR HST sets.
  2. Silver fox kit built-Dutch GSV 3157 is the latest addition to the rolling stock fleet on Tara junction-the second such model I have fitted out the interior to represent the real GSV-a boiler,generator and guards compartment has been modelled.
  3. And Tara Sunday-lots of GAA specials……
  4. Morning Gareth, Yes a small number of Mk2 a/bs received grey roofs-along with the Mk2Ds and compo Mk3s,and operated in service like that.
  5. Recently acquired locomotive 171 had damage to the coupling and NEM pocket so I removed the coupling and detailed the front with a coupling hook,and air braked pipes-it was paired up with 189 to work a GAA special from Galway to Dublin Connolly formed of IRM MK2 a/b coaches.
  6. The “an post” mail truck makes its way towards the station-thanks to Tom at IFM for this superb creation.
  7. A chance find at a local charity shop was the class 14 and three open wagons -I knew the brake van would come in handy one day…
  8. 048 working the Northwall-Ballina liner train is overtaken by 017 which is working the 07:30 Dublin Connolly-Sligo Mk2 set.
  9. I have used the springs from old Lima pancake type motors to replace those coupling springs and have had no issues.
  10. I would highly recommend Enda’s work..
  11. Courtesy of @Past-Avenue some 20’ coal & oil and 10’ uniload containers have now arrived at the Lakeview freight yard. Thanks Enda

  15. The superb detailed IRM IE Mk2 a/bs on Tara junction , Locomotive 220 which is in original livery passes through Tara junction working the 17:00 FO from Dublin Heuston to Ballina. 130+143 pass through with the 15:00 Northwall-Waterford BELL liner, 174+133 work the 13:00 Waterford-Northwall BELL liner 054 works a relief Park Royal set from Athlone-Heuston. I have added two of the MM Mk2s and the EGV 4601 to make a seven piece set. Day and night scenes below-bring back memories of me working the real coaches twenty years ago.
  16. I love to see prototypical scenes and you have certainly captured this here @Dempseywell done.

  19. A video showing the quality and performance of the IRM fuel oil wagons as they are hauled and shunted around Tara junction by locomotive 018.
  20. Happened when the Cravens sets went through a rough patch with the GSVs breaking down and steam heating pipes puncturing during the winter of 1995-they were replaced by Mk2 a/bs on the 17:00 to Ballina on Fridays only-a welcome change for the passengers and added more variety for me with 2x121/141 and 071s working the trains.
