As do slaters, I'd love to try an MIR kit but wouldn't risk building one of these "collectors" items

Feck the collectors, all mir kits deserve to be built and run .

Finally finished the airfix A 4

The prestwin chassis's in the background are destined for a nice new rake of scratchbuilt wagons

Might be an idea for the other spitfire in the stash, slowly working through this lot at the moment.

Hurricane, fouga & vampire are going to be in iac colours, f 27 either in fokker or aer lingus colours & the a 4 will be in yankie navy colours.

No prob

One of my buddies is a die hard Juve fan, (hes a regular for their home games) , i ll give him a shout to see if he knows the best place to get a ticket if that d help?

I ve seen pics of a mk3 egv in the older livery with a rake of the newer livery, i ve seen pics of the galway mk2's mixed with regular livery mk 2's . It was far more common with mixtures of liveries in the cravens/park royals, i ve one pic with a gsv in black/orange, park royal with white stripes and 3 cravens in a mix of all liveries.

C202 is in South Kilkenny, shes more or less a shell with bogies.

Flashback to 1995, 225 with a laden ammonia 2 barriers plus 6 tankers passing thru Cork Kent

BJust checked my pics of the ammonias they range in colour from bright white, dirty white, yellowish and all the way to dirty brown/black. The ammonias in the early to mid 1990's were hauled by the well aged a class which spluttered oil everywhere plus as with all freight stock they were rarely if ever washed. Theres also variants in the livery especially logos and placement of logos.

It ll always be home rebelred:)

Nice detail shot Whesty

Sweet, its like the good auld days when Cork loco shed was busy with gms.

Suppose a pic of an icr deserves to be included

Very nice, lovely detail on them.

Cheers Riversuir

No prob:tumbsup:

There are two great DVDs on the CB&SCR including elegaic music in the background as the rails are lifted. Worth a look as the quality of images is amazing given how long ago they were taken!

Got my mits on the two dvds over the xmas ,they re available from the Clonakilty rail museum. I ve also been given a loan of a local historians collection of photos and information on the station and the West Cork line in general.

Found another one

All my photos are taken from the perimeter wall or gates, the best spots are by the gate for arrivals, to the left of the gates theres a spot overlooking the refueling area which is handy as locos are left here at weekends and it also covers the yard. A little further up from here theres a good spot overlooking the Waterford west signal cabin but it covers the enterance to the yard as well. For traffic heading east of the station i use the overbridge just east of the station(first turn off on the dual carriageway).
