Hi Derek, I bought a number of the very same MM coaches from Marks Models over recent months. Upon test running on a provisional, (2nd radius), development layout, some were fine, but a couple were derailing and catching on points. The culprit was the sprung couplers failing to return to the straight position. The guys from Marks kindly replaced the defective units, although I got the impression that this may not be an uncommon issue. George

Irish Railways in 1960's & 1970's by Tom Dowling
Rush and Lusk replied to K801's topic in General Chat
As I took an "evening excursion" around the IRM network, I came across this fabulous video (or perhaps we might more properly say "Film" reflecting it's time) - fantastic images and recollections - congratulations to all and thanks for posting. -
Brookhall Mill - A GNR(I) Micro Layout
Rush and Lusk replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Wonderful atmospheric winter scene Patrick (PS - I also love the A46, from your earlier posts, and I managed to get one myself from the recent IRM brief "second release"). -
Hi NIRCLASS80, I have thoroughly enjoyed your various video and picture postings as part of my rookie learning process - lovely layout and train movements. Does this imply an end to this particular layout ? - if so, what next ?

Hi Past-Avenue, As a recent newbi to this wonderful hobby I've watched hundreds of YouTube videos, including yours, and was struck by how much interest and design you have managed to capture in this space - very well done. A few of brief questions if I may: - (1) what are the dimensions of your baseboard ? - (2) DC or DCC ? - (3) do you use point motors ? - (4) what % are the incline & decline ? - (5) is the inner tunnel a dead end under the hill ? Apologies for any intrusion & many thanks in advance. Rush & Lusk (George)

Hi seagoebox, Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to supply this comprehensive information - great references and suggestion there. The Railway Junction Diagram of Dublin from 1912 is fascinating. You are clearly most knowledgeable and I greatly appreciate your sharing and advice. Regards, R&L -

Hello Wexford70, This is a great site by the Government of Ireland - easy to get lost in it looking at all kinds of content outside of railways (I enjoyed looking at sites and property of several folks I know ) - relatively easy to use too. Many Thanks, R&L -

Hi jc_014, Thanks very much for this excellent and fascinating interactive tool - it captures so much information in an attractive graphic manner. I would certainly recommend it to other curious souls . Much appreciated John. Regards, George -
Hi Irishswissernie, Thats a beautifully composed and evocative picture of 1960 Dun Laoghaire - reflecting both happy and sad experiences for many Irish people. Anyway, on the picture itself, the colour balance appears very realistic to me - by way of contrast, the picture of A42 is heavily influenced by a blue cast, not at all uncommon in various slide films of the day. Difficult to say, but in my humble opinion, when corrected for more true colour balance, I would suggest it may actually darken the green in that image. Regards, R&L

Thanks so much Galteemore - That looks very promising - Regards, R&L -
Hello, Any advice on obtaining a map/illustration of the Irish railway network at its most populated/developed period. I have located a rather small (A4 size) map produced by the Viceregal Commission on Irish Railways in 1906, but not expandable to facilitate easy and leisurely reading - the detail is just too small !. Thank you in advance.

Absolutely wonderful Patrick - I feel transported back to a more relaxed time in 1967. I am fortunate to have acquired 3 of these superb "A's" - I did however miss out on the lined green A46 (?) and have been seriously considering A42 - it looks really striking on your layout. Well done.

Hello "thewanderer", As a newbi to the hobby, I have found your site to be wonderfully informative and educational - not only on the current, and recent past, state and operation of Irish railways, but also a broader consequential observation of Irish society - people, activity, infrastructure etc. Great work and images - well done.
