    I'm wondering what the 1916 memorabilia will be.
  2. Horsetan
    ...and not the Gresley variety, either.
  3. Horsetan
    Possibly the same one as in the Rowledge book?
  4. Horsetan
    More likely extension of the double track on the Cork Blackrock & Passage route.
  5. Horsetan
    Careful now.
  6. Horsetan
    So would the population statistics.
  7. Horsetan
    Sporran.

    There is but one small reference to it (and a drawing) in Peter Rowledge's oul book on the Maunsell Moguls. I think the author made the point that such an engine would have been somewhat heavier than the Woolwiches, which would have led to some concerns about axle loadings, etc. GSR/CIE were always short of money, and expenditure on something like this would not have been forthcoming anyway, particularly if there was an alternative in the form of diesels.

    Well now, I've got hold of some spare Heljan gears and gone as close as I dare.... The undriven centre axle does still revolve, but I'm not sure if I'd be getting away with moving either or both of the idlers above it..... I think it will be possible to use this gear casing, so that means shortening Des's bogie sideframe castings to match.

    Closer than a photo finish

    Yes, I sold a couple of those SD70MACs. They were made by Kato. The level of detail was extraordinary.
  12. Horsetan
    That was a shame. Potentially useful film and commentary half-drowned by the oul diddly-diddly.
  13. Horsetan
    That has to be one of the quickest deflations I've yet seen in railway modelling, as the disappointment takes over. Looking back over the history of OO Works, it has to be said that, although they do produce engines that the mainstream RTR makers don't bother with, those models are robust and pretty basic in terms of detail. The only thing not basic about them is the price.

    Did she get the missing reverser lifting links installed in the end?
  15. Horsetan
    ....and may never be able to. It's not how the Chinese factories work, and to some extent the commissioning RTR companies (they're not really manufacturers anymore, and not much more than importers/wholesalers) have had to accept this.

    Meanwhile, in Australia.....
  17. Horsetan
    Magnificent cut 'n' paste there
  18. Horsetan
    They used to be greengrocer's, selling tomatoe's and potatoe's....
  19. Horsetan
    Intriguing. Will it be convertible to 21mm gauge?
  20. Horsetan
    Bredin like rabbits?
  21. Horsetan
    This is a bit like what happened to the main line at Dawlish a few years ago - in that case, the sea undermined part of the track bed completely.....
  22. Horsetan
    ....not that I'm in the market for a VS, but others might be......
  23. Horsetan
    On another Forum, someone is gradually making a GNRI "VS" using SSM's "V" kit as a starter. Looks ingenious. I wonder if Des might be tempted......
  24. Horsetan
    I particularly like the grab handles.
  25. Horsetan
    The Boyne Bridge is surely a major - possibly insurmountable - obstacle to any sort of high frequency, high average speed running.
