Horse Outside

EDIT: Actually there is something else that interests me, and that is the J30 0-6-0T, since no.90 is still with us. You can add me to the list for that etch set as well.
-
That being Brazil, I suppose they wouldn't have had to regauge it, either.
-
I'd surmise the time allowed for the trip was fairly relaxed if they were rostering a "single" to haul it.
-
It looks like you'd have to demolish the houses/offices built at right-angles to the platform across the trackbed, plus reinstate a few bridges along the route to Roscrea.

I think it's in all our interests to ensure SSM keeps going. Apart from Worsley Works, Des is pretty much the only established Irish etched kit producer/retailer that we have, with a range we can actually see. If we lose him, that's basically curtains for Irish kitbuilders.

A 3d printed 800 class for 00 (and a WLWR goods loco)
Horsetan replied to Killian Keane's topic in Irish Models
God Almighty, you must have absolutely slaved over that! I'd have gone cross-eyed within the first 10 minutes of trying to draw it all out. -
If we're including long closed routes, I wouldn't mind seeing Newport, Mulrany, and Achill Sound open for railway business again.
-
Update: Des has replied to me, and should have written to you separately by the time you read this.
-
The voiceover suggests that this is for personal rather than mass transport in urban areas. It doesn't say anything about how or where these vehicles will be parked when not in use; presumably some sort of sidings network will be needed in addition to running lines.....
-
Have e-mailed Des now. Hopefully he'll pick it up in the next couple of days.
-
Let me have your details if you think it might help. I had e-mails from Des yesterday confirming the J15 was in the post. I'm happy to send him an e-mail on your behalf. It is important not to lose sight of customers.

Mine's now in the hands of An Post...

Tug Life - The History Of The Class 60
Horsetan replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
It's like the arms race in the 1960s and '70s. First we got the Bomb And that was good 'Cos we love peace and motherhood, Then Russia got the bomb But that's OK 'Cos the balance of power's maintained that way. Who's next? France got the Bomb But don't you grieve, 'Cos they're on our side...I believe, China got the Bomb But have no fears - They can't wipe us out for at least five years! Who's next? -
Ernies Massive Irish 1930's to 2005 Photo Archive
Horsetan replied to Glenderg's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Are there any photos showing the colour light signal gantries at York Road? I'm particularly interested in the "pointer light" miniature signals, as they're always shown "in the distance", and never close up. -
God help you.
-
After all, the LMS did something similar before sending the two Jinties to work on the NCC; they turned the driving wheels centres inside out on the original axles, gaining the necessary clearance and wider gauge that way. An Irish solution for an Irish problem!
-
The cab structure itself was not wider. That retained its British width. The same thing happened on the K1a as well.
-
Not quite as simple as that - the overall width over footplate was at least 6 inches wider than the N, as was the width between the frames - once you notice it, you can't "unsee" it.
-
I thought Robertsbridge was in East Sussex.* *geographical joke
-
Empty stock?

"Entire lives, irreparably damaged!!"
-
The other good thing is that all issues seem to end up in the online archive later on, so it's always possible to access them.
-
That reminds me I have two or three "singles" to tackle in the years ahead, including a Midland Railway "Spinner" and a GWR Dean Single. Adhesion, or lack of it, will be amusing....
-
Does that not amount to the same?
