    To think that this thing led indirectly to the Pacers......
  2. Horsetan
    That, there, is just another indication of our feral society.

    For the engines that were supplied to the GNRI by Beyer-Peacock, you do get the full works, but the trouble is that you have to know where to find them - The Manchester Museum of Science and Industry has them, but they are no longer accessible online after yet another reorganisation. Access to the Great Central Railway locomotive diagrams has also been lost.
  4. Horsetan
    One regular characteristic of these GNR diagrams is that you only get the side-view measurements only - no end-on, or plan views.
  5. Horsetan
    Did you find what you wanted in the end?
  6. Horsetan
    More than anyone is prepared to pay, it would seem. Come back in 10 years' time and see if they're still there.

    In that case, Killian, would you consider printing a full 400-class tender for me?
  8. Horsetan
    It's a 3345-gallon tender which appears to be a very close resemblance to the type attached to 400/500 class. The RPSI do mention that they think it might be a 400-class tender; there don't seem to be any other types that fit the description.
  9. Horsetan
    Whilst we're on the subject of the 400 3D-print, would it be possible to order just the tender on its own? Reason for asking is that I'd like one to be attached to my build of J15 no.186 to portray her preserved state.
  10. Horsetan
    It's not just the 400s, but also the 500 class 4-6-0s which maybe one day should also be considered for modelling - in some ways more versatile than the 400s, but there were only three.....

    The J17 wheelbase was something like 9' x 9', which almost gives the GNRI "V" and VS's 10'6" wheelbase a run for their money. That said, the J17 ultimately wasn't the biggest as the J19 and J20 were even more substantial.
  12. Horsetan
    It was ever thus. That's why general neglect and dereliction is still a common sight in Ireland
  13. Horsetan
    Same here, please

    I've had the e-mail about it already!

    Equivocation is practically a national sport.
  16. Horsetan
    There wasn't much money around even when property prices were reasonable (or unrealistically cheap by British standards) in the 1980s

    Presumably everything runs punctually?
  19. Horsetan
    This must be on the single-line Dungeness section. Presumably the service is less intensive than for the rest of the line!
  20. Horsetan
    Same here. One of each if they're being made available.
  21. Horsetan
    Just after paying the bill for this new trio....
  22. Horsetan
    The Irish public will generally only get involved if someone else is paying for it. It was ever thus - just look at all the various proposals for building Irish branch lines; the mere mention of having to fork out for it was enough to see interest melt away from most.... I'd say the more immediate concern is a reliable source of fuel for all the steam locomotive fleet, as eco-mental concerns have deliberately made domestic coal unavailable. Current experiments with eco fuels suggest miniature and narrow gauge engines can run (expensively) on it, but standard gauge not so much...
  23. Horsetan
    If you're happy to work with P4 standards, then all relevant trackmaking gauges for Irish 21mm are available from Scalefour Society Stores. Code 82 FB is currently available from S4 Stores, the EMGS Stores, and C&L. Code 75 FB is only produced by PECO; I haven't seen anyone else offer it.
  24. Horsetan
    There's the PlugTrack function as well, so you could print your own 21mm if you're not too fussed about having the correct 1-in-20 rail inclination
  25. Horsetan
    Hopefully that means used Hornby 50s will be flogged cheap on eBay - I need a spares donor for my pair of P4 conversions
