A combination of weight & power is the simple answer the 201's are heavier plus have a limited availability on certain lines.

Just plain vandalism then They could have done something better in my opinion like a big smiley face or something.

Thanks Tom, great pics.

No prob Sean

Nice videos as always Sean:tumbsup:

Few pics of her in Waterford earlier today

The catenary around greystones would be do able with a jig & a lot of scratchbuilding the rest would seem to be a nightmare must dig out my Rosslare to Dublin Dvd to have a closer look.

These guys done a modular layout a few years ago might be handy for a few tips!!!!

code 1OO would be universal track but main problem i see is the overhead wiring.

Definetely interested in this

Now for which station to model:eek:

Cotton buds very handy while applying decals they re also handy for cleaning hard to reach areas.

Well done lads I ll be in touch with an order for a few:)

Great to see you back at the bench Eamonn.

Lovelly job on the A class bogies & can t wait to hear her in action

Those mk2's are correct, they are around but the Ie ones are harder to find than the IR. As for mk 3's I use lima as they re easier to repaint but they need a little. work on the bogies as they are quite basic.

Wrenneire might be able to sort out some mk2's;)

Looks like you found the one I was looking at:)

Nice one I ll take the lot

Dave did you get sorted for this

Waterford

For the 2 floodlights i ll be using these:)

Here is what i would like to achieve

The two outside lines to the left are to the fiddle yard off scene & the inside lines are the mainlines.

The city side will be the backscene with the edge of the river modelled so in real terms you d be looking in at the yard from the hillside.

Like this view

Excellent plans! How did you draw these?

Im using Anyrail which is very good & free up to 5O track pieces;)

This is the plan with curved points think it may be better

Trying to squeez Waterford West into 5m length is a nightmare!!!!

Im still thinking of changing the crossover on the left to curved points the shortest of the loops are 15OOmm which fits in with my mk3 rakes of 5 coaches

Waterford

Rosslare

Macmine junction

Limerick

Mallow

Dublin

You could also add portlaoise, bagnalstown via palace east

Your a lot braver than me. I m looking forward to this one:tumbsup:

Excellent work Nelson & welcome to the site:tumbsup:

Bandon had 5 stations at one stage or anotherPIMP

Bandon WC junction 1876 to 188O

Bandon low level 1849 to 1961 used for goods from 1894 to 1961

Bandon high level 1894 to 1961

Bandon WCR 1866 to 1874

Bandon West 1874 to 188O

Within 4 miles there was a private station at Castlebernard and Clonakilty Junction.

Good stuff, folks - didn't know about Enniskeane & Ballineen having separate stations originally!

 

Belfast Central Junction briefly served the area that would now be covered by City Hospital, and then there was the old Maysfields Terminus, many many moons before Central Station.

 

Next Question: Which 5ft 3 line used pubs adjacent to the line as "stations" in several locations, where people bought tickets / waited for the train?

The stations were seperate from 1866 to 1891. They were within a mile of each other so it kinda made sense to bring the two together Enniskeane at 29.4 miles and Ballineen at 3O.4 miles the new station was at 3O miles & was offically called Ballineen & Enniskeane from 1891 to 1961 but in later years it was known as Ballineen.

Cork kilbarry open till the tunnel was finished, Ballinhassig served cork till the viaduct and tunnel was finished. Kilmacow served Waterford for a while. Ballineen and Enniskeane originally had separate stations and were later replaced by one.
