    For the UK versions,

    The ho guage wagons would require widening, larger bodies and a hell of lot of filling and scraping. Height wise their lower than the ifi ones.

    If all that takes your fancy I have 2 of them you can sort out for me;)

  4. Excellent, really like that line how they ever found a route is beyond me. The line to the suir viaduct was only dismantled recently, the bridge still has track in it but is detiorating really quickly, from the bridge to the old junction the formation is in really good Nick, the narrow guage section comes from the old waterford west station there seems to be the remains of a signal cabin on the right hand side of the junction, from Kilmeadan to kildermody there is s few placed were the. Line is accessible but only for a few metres each time.From Carroll cross to kilmac the line is very accessible the only major breach is next to the old sprinkled were the n25 cuts through the formation, kilmac station and fir a few miles through to mg grath crossroads, from here the line us hit and miss whether or which. you can access the formation. There is plans by Waterford county council to make most of the route into a walk way.

  7. 209, 207, 219, 201 all in black and tan worked the lifting trains on the West Cork as well as the others mentioned, Bandon tanks 463 and 463 were regulars till Feb 63.
