He'll build one for ye. All he needs is the info from ye.....and some money. Kerrygold.

A brand-new Dacia will cost ye less than a 4mm scale engine built by Stella Artois.

Here's his details: Rod Cooper, The Halt, Roshven, Lochailort, Invernesshire PH38 4NB Tel +44 1687 470284

Tempted?

If you can afford Rocar coaches, you can also afford to commission "Stella Artois" to build your engines. Prices start at a few grand. Something like a GSR "800" 4-6-0 would most likely cost five figures, with the decimal point after....

Loads. At least 400 quid a coach. But yer man puts everything into it - working gangways, curtains, carpeting.....the works.
-
Unfortunately, you need the boxes for things like that. Coaches like that are so expensive, you'd be afraid to run them....and certainly not at a show where you'd be paranoid they'd get stolen. Mind, though, Golden Age coaches are cheap (and not very well-detailed) compared to the ones made by this fella

Probably just a placeholder 'cos he has none in stock.

It looks like the shed office was extended rather than being a completely new building. You can still see the original brick/stonework and windows on the 1960 photo.

There'll always be some driver trying to jump the gun regardless. The only way to stop them is to shoot them.

Interestingly, Hollywood Foundry does sell a 21mm x 21mm motor bogie, but it's for 12mm gauge.... There is an alternative DIY kit that they supply, though, and it seems that you can build it in 21mm gauge as well.... Interesting, but feckin' expensive. Here it is.

Certainly does....

Excellent. Thanks to the man there.

Does anyone know what the wheelbase measurement of the Railroad 55 bogie actually is?
-
Assume Des will charge 75 Euro (about £54) for his "new run" body moulding. A new Class 55 power bogie is about 44.7 Euro (£32.44), and a used one is 27.3 Euro (about £27), whilst an unpowered one is 32.4 Euro (£23.52) if you pick the current Railroad one, or 8.26 Euro (£6) if you pick the Lima one Full list of available spares here

There's a lot of TippEx all over the left of the diagram! If I had the space to model Claremorris, I'd be wanting to show the track layout and signalling at its peak, i.e. the '60s rather than the rationalised scheme that exists today. Thing is, that was a bit more widespread. The Donegal did something similar when replacing the canvas roofs on some of its wagons with corrugated sheet.

Brilliant. I can put some numbers and arrows on that.

Dear God: the smell!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
