Riversuir226

Cheers H/A but I may have burned my bridges with them

Hoping someone would have a spares box full of them.

Had a look in the spares vault, your luck is in Mr Bracken, pm sent:tumbsup:

Is that an orange windscreen wiper on 071, same as orange and black window frame on NIR's 112? (or 8888888112 or whatever they call it!)

Yep, 086 has a lovely black and orange door.

Some good footage of the dungarvan line in operation including cab footage which i ve never seen before, the first part is a little bit boring though.

They haven t been touched yet but i'd say tommorow the destruction will start.

Man how i'd love to contact the Kteam paint all the ICR's orange, paint all the mk 3's silver and switch them around so that the icr's would go in the bin;)

Great news cheered me up after seeing the excavators been off loaded for the destruction of the mk 3's. Well done to all involved in getting 226 started, even better that it ran on the West Cork line back in the late 50's to join 90 in the surviving ex West Cork regulars in preservation:p

Followed 076 with pocket wagons, Newrath, Cassin Wharf l/c and returning empties at the bridge to the wharf. 083 and jess plus activity starting on the mark 3's

My ears are still ringing after hearing the pockets going through the former Abbey Junction

nice one:tumbsup:

Who would have thought we would be thinking of getting into stamp collecting.

Utto was laughing till i remembered i have ones of the enterprise from a few years back:facepalm:

Were abouts can i get the Royal Mail ones?

I'm not sure tbh. Anyone any ideas?

Now that is a minefield, i don t think you can get a day pass outside of the big smoke, there is a four day one €110 but noticed there is a gathering 3 day unlimited travel for €99.

Really tasty, the etched nameplates make all the difference:tumbsup:

Many thanks Gareth:tumbsup:

Would any of you consider scratch building a 121 model ? Drawings are out there and it has a fairly straight forward body shape.

Hmmm now theres a challenge, how about a group challenge & we ll all build one? knowing my luck the rtr will be out just as i'm finishing one.

Doing my bit 230, 077x2, 085 due on the bench in the next few months plus of course two packs of auto ballasters

Great tribute. Have my old man to thank for this financially crippling affliction of a hobby!

Join the club Fran, i think the trip in the A class that he organised, trip to malahide by train from Cork and the Railway modeller every month sealed it for me.

Luckily mine is still with us building his aircraft kits but my heart goes out to the lads who's fathers are no longer with them.

I'd bet he'd be proud of your work Anthony.

Yes have seen them and they look good but I was wondering if I could get them done for a reasonable price and I thought they were a bit on the dear side as I think i recall the price being around £60

Per coach.

Try this

or it might be an idea to pm Anthony or georgeconna

you know me so well. Keep an eye out something special coming soon.

Now that has me intrigued, looking forward to it

I d rather leave it at what i ve said already on the subject.

Went down to see 215, ended up seeing 4 x 071:banana:

Nice pics , i know the feeling about the sun it can be a right pain when trying to get the shots that you want

I m going to be greedy and say i like both of them, the scene oozes irish atmosphere bud

Lovely set, bet you enjoyed the weather

i'd be very careful taking pics from over by the brewery especially nearer to the boat yard. The "locals" don t take to kindly to people with cameras and there was an incident in the last few weeks.

beautiful shots of the weed sprayer! 071 looks good with the warning panels:tumbsup:

Many thanks Seamus

Another 70 images added, again if anyone knows how/where can i get old photos into digi form it would be greatly appreiciated i ve approx 400 ranging from Malahide1989 A class still in cie livery, 121 push pulls, brand new 201's around Cork, beet bogies through Waterford, rebuilding the Blennerville line and 141/181/a class galore.

After weeks of trying to catch one, i caught a grey,071 outbound & inbound plus a few pics at the refueling point:banana:
