  1. Railtrack had intended to repaint them into IE colours but got a present of IE ones since.
  2. Im open to offers on the above.
  3. Richie, Paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/stsammoniabogie 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;)

  5. Excellent news Des, will they be resin or metal? Used to love watching the ammonia run in the early 90's, the A class's were so dirty even Anto would blush!
  6. Excellent work Gareth, never say never 103 might hit the rails yet!!!
  7. 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.
  8. Try finnyus, Michael678 on flicr im sure Fred deans had some as well
  9. I could check it out later for you if you want, im trying to remember were I saw pics of it on the net though.it's hard to believe they managed to pull the wreckage of 189 up that incline to the side of the viaduct.

  12. 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. The bantry pier was lifted before closure on the 31/3/61 but the Rest of the line was left alone till April 62 due a court case taken by James P O Regan. Lifting started in Bantry on April 9th, by November the Courtmac line was fully lifted, by x mas the bantry line was lifted as far as Drimoleague, by the end of 63 it wad after been lifted as far as Ballineen, by the end of 64 Waterfall had been done. By Feb chetwynd had been lifted, march spur hill and pouladuff had been lifted, the final section to High street bridge was cleared by April 1965.Crossbarry to Ballinhassig was lifted by Aherla lime works, Courtmacsherry to Inchy bridge used a rail tractor as well as most of the clonakilty line, the Rest of the lines were lifted conventually.Progress was slow due to reballasting across the lines in the previous years before closure. Other llocos used in the lifting of the line are

  14. Thats not good, thought it was on his definite list when he announced his goodie list a few years back....
  15. Stunning work Dave, might be time Mrs R got a news paper round!!!!
  16. Patrick, love the layout so far really atmospheric with hints of activity around the station but not over stating them. As for station names id say use the rural nature of the area to your advantage something road with hints of a village near by although if you wanted to stick by the sea, ardmore, grange and ring are the only villages up there. Will definetly be keeping an eye out when travelling that way later on today for other names. Keep up the good work
  17. Rob, id hold of till the Murphy s one comes out next year, well thats my plan anyway!!!
  18. Your not the only one, that was a really enjoyable read thanks for sharing

  21. Price reduction to 90 euro each, would also be interested in a possible swap for coaches or wagons.
  22. Excellent work Rob, many thanks for the handy painting tip. Keep up the good work.
  23. Many happy returns Anto, best of luck and happiness to all in the group for 2013!!
