Both sides of the border are covered but the Northern pics are more comprehensive.

1. A trip on a Railway Preservation society steam special sowed the seeds, the following x mas a trainset complete with car transporter completed the deal.

2. Kitbuilding and the occassional scratchbuild, much better than taking a loco etc out of the box and putting it on the track .

3. Very rarely, 1 a year max.

4. Eh, €100 plus per month. Well thats what i tell the Mrs's anyway!!!!!

Great find, photos of New Ross line are hard to come by on the net. I have the 1963 figure/loading sheets for the station, worthy of note were the Tramore race specials and the All Ireland hurling specials that ran over the line in the Sept hauled by 141's after the line closed to passengers. Amazing to think that the line last saw use nearly 20 years ago !!!!.

Looking good

Hi

 

Excellent photos, they answer nearly all my questions on the bogie sides, their a great help to finalise the drawing to make the templates for moulding

Thanks guys for the help

No prob, give us a shout if you need more.

she s coming together really well Eamonn

I ve a few pics of c class bogies, if you pm your email address i ll send them on to you.

Nice one Martin, they ll come in very handy. The older type of bogies would be a nice addition to the ssm bogie flat. Was that the former barrier flat that was near the car park?

Welcome aboard Westport, a trainset would be an ideal starting point as it has everything in one box to get you up and running. Prices start from €100. Id recommend the model rail mag or railway modeller which are both widely available.

Spotted that alright, i really like the new look in the surrounding area as well. The cathedral and the viking triangle are something to be proud of.

Have two bottles of the stuff, DON T use the new version as its not clear and doesn t have the same effect. There is one of the model paint manufacturers (alcad) doing a kclear but i haven t tried it.

Have to agree with Rich, amazing restoration of a magnificant building. Just shows what can be achieved by a community when they put their minds to a single goal.

Voted before, sheer class

Definetly thinking about dirtying them up a bit but i ll leave it till my weathering skills improve. Thanks for the comments lads , i ve two dirty 141's lined up to haul these so the whole rake will be a class sight when running.

Tom,

Have the film with loads of A class and staff spl with 141s will be in touch with you to show soon .

Nice one Mark

Theres a small bit of footage on here, some handy views of the unloading systems at ballinacourty.

footage of trains at 11/18/22-24/37-38/40/42-45 & 59 minute marks.

Excellent job so far Eamonn, the ssm plough looks like a nice bit of kit.

She's a keeper!!!!!!

Shes well trained

Yes the last part of the stub to Dungarvan was lifted shortly after the opening of the line to Ballinacourty.

Waterford history page on facebook is another spot that pics of the magnesite trains show up on from time to time, Michael Faulkner from kilmacthomas is another source of info on the line.

A classes were regulars on the Tivoli to Ballincourty but they weren t the only traction used on the run, pairs of babies were also used on it. If your on facebook theres quite a lot of photos of the services, theres also videos on you tube.

Finally got near my pressies from Santy, 077 in orange /black & a few bob towards the ammonias.
