  1. Easy to regauge. 40 minutes' work using Accurascale's Deltic P4 wheels on the original axles. Alternatively, there's enough meat on the IRM wheels to turn down the width and flange depth on a lathe.
  2. "The name's Bond. Seamus Bond. Licence to fill..... "
  3. Q-Kits did acquire an unenviable reputation, much like MTK, for the irregularity of their component parts. I remember them mostly for their 1980s attempt at a USATC 0-6-0T kit, at a time when there was absolutely no alternative available.
  4. On my first visit to Ennis in 1988, there didn't appear to be anything running at all.....
  5. Hopefully it won't end up like the exhibits in the Moyasta Graffiti Gallery...
  6. My ideal list would be: - one of the Caprotti 400s - one of the 500s - one K1 - one K1a - the sole P1 2-6-2T - a J26 - possibly the VS ...and obviously CC1. How could you not have that? CC1 would be a massive study aid for alternative fuels.
  7. That's a shame. If it wasn't for the WT wheels and spare bits of original motion, there might not be a new-build project in the first place....
  8. Does the new W not benefit from a spare set of WT wheels; wouldn't those have some sort of grandfather rights ?
  9. There's that unmistakable sense of semi-neglect in the photos that only Ireland can do.
  10. Probably didn't want the hassle of international post anymore.
  11. Dialysis has never been such fun.
  12. Given that some AE86s have been imported into Ireland, it might be an idea for it to carry county registration plates.....
  13. That's the only time I've seen a MTK Western actually built.
  14. I'm surprised they haven't named one after the Lord High Badger himself, Professor Sir Brian May....
