Kirley

The detail provided is immense and worthy to be included in the Resource Section of this Forum. To see it with accompanying pictures illustrating the different liveries would be a book I would be interested in and it would be great if it could include Coaching Stock as well. Well done jcb171achill. My only concern with all your extensive articles is will there be an exam at the end of them.. I haven’t been taking notes!

Thanks Guys for the information, Anthony I sent you an email.

I’m just finishing a rake of Mk 3 coaches in CIE Supertrain livery. I can’t find any photographs to guide me on the correct markings on the ends of these coaches. Should it be from the top: 1. Dayglow square 2. Number 3. Flash warning. Thanks in anticipation of the usual expert response.

Thanks for the update Garfield, it would be great to see the very early NIL's

Thanks, order placed.

Can you give a rough idea when they will be available to purchase?

Thanks for the article; it makes me want to convert my MAK to DCC as she has not run since I changed layouts

Des, I believe there is a keen interest in these wagons and of course any flats. Looking forward to a release date.

Gareth, If you ever decide to do another batch, I'll place a definite order.

Just shows you how lucky we are today to have main supplers like Murphy Models along with SSM and many other smaller but excellent providers of Irish Models

Welcome to the Site, your layout sounds intriguing!

As you can see in the pictures the current stage of the A Class. Now I have the Cattle Dock out of the way I'm working to complete it

Very helpful data telling it as it was.

I speak from experience – unless you want an out of scale A Class or C Class stay away from these MTK kits.

I have them, they are sitting in the "to do box" for about 8 months.

Cattle Dock for Kirley Junction I used a Ratio Cattle Dock kit + a part completed one from ebay which meant I had to make up the missing bits. I also used a Wills sheet of cobble stones which I bought from the Model Shop in Cork about 3 years ago. It just goes to show everything will come in useful someday in the modeller’s world. Now I have to merge it into the Kirley junction layout and I’ll put up more pictures once I have that section completed.

A lovely piece of railway history, thanks for sharing

"Windows - WD40 sprayed on a clear CD cover and cut with a fine saw." That's a good tip, thanks for sharing Richie.

Looking good

Really like the way you did the two liveries of the Jintys, they make my one look like a toy in comparison

It’s not really complicated, it’s just fiddly work, having ten resistors and a total of 20 wires running to them and the blue, yellow and white leads from the decoder. Patience they say is the ability to endure, amongst other things, provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties ---but I'm sure you have plenty of it. Good luck with your A Class.

Good to have you back on line Anthony, great paint jobs, so that's why you were asking all those questions about livery! The town scene is really coming together, I like your backscene.

Thanks Kevin

Not yet Gareth, I'm finishing off an A Class and want to get it out of the way before starting on the Sulzer. Also it would be good to hear if there any construction difficulties from others but according to Weshty it is a straight forward kit to build.
