    Yes a bit of Gort might work, lots of inspiration here, you'd need to somehow shorten by two foot: But then depends what you're in to, a yard is probably the best bet, with an entry/exit via an underbridge as the scenic break.

    wait, there's more:

    on the move! https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishrailwayspresentandpast/permalink/9866755523415551/ includes pics and video of the locos, about to start heading north... cheers, Keith

    if you're travelling around over here a bit it's worth getting one of these https://www.translink.co.uk/ilink-travelcard which basically gives you bus and train travel for the whole of NI for one day for around £20! the Sunday Tracker ticket is £10 for all lines in NI (train not bus): https://www.translink.co.uk/sunday-day-tracker the Birkenhead boat is my favoured mode of travel between here and there, even daytime sailings the time passes nicely. cheers, Keith

    what I do like about GC (agree, not much to commend it) is the ability to change trains quickly, and between platforms, no footbridge to hoof over! great to see the diesel day, hope I can make it--well done ITG and DCDR

    Kernow have this 141 on offer https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/89473/MM0154A-Murphy-Models-Class-141-Diesel-154-in-IR

    I joined the ITG as a member and get the Mail as part of the membership package. cheers, Keith

    The latest issue of The Irish Mail from the ITG has an urgent fundraising call to assist with relocating their locos from Moyasta to Downpatrick. Anyone wishing to assist financially can find a donate page on the ITG web-site (www.irishtraction.com). (edit, see below!) cheers, Keith

    It'll be for us folks up here!

    excellent, I like the wagon plates! cheers, Keith

    I'd settle for a brake van

    Perhaps an indication of the differing levels of product interest can be gauged looking at rmweb and the Accurascale/IRM posts there and responses to these, the Hunslets have 5.6k views and the 800 class 5.5k views, both seem the highest of the Irish IRM products of late but the Banana Vans thread has 53.4k views by way of comparison! Rmweb is mainly inhabited by UK based modellers, though not entirely of course. Cheers, Keith

    I'll be there in the morning
  15. Tractionman
    I'll be there! It's my local and like to get some purchases, especially as model shops around these parts are scant nowadays I need some scenic stuff and will probably seek out the odd wagon or two cheers, Keith
  16. Tractionman
    Nowadays it's the other way around

    It's a pity @Mol_PMB that 'rail n sail' isn't made as easy as it should be, it's the same trying to get from NI across to GB too, not sure why Stena Birkenhead ferries aren't part of 'rail n sail' as at least the port is near a railway station! Yes fair enough, if it's a holiday then sleeping overnight on a ferry floor is not going to be a fun experience.
  18. Tractionman
    From Manchester how about taking 'rail n sail' via Holyhead and taking the overnight boat to Dublin? Or driving to Holyhead and taking the ferry over, there's loads of sailings.

    This might be of interest https://clarkrailworks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/murphy-models-ho-mm0129-class-121-diesel-locomotive-ie-logo

    yes I was a bit suprised to see these appear in such quantities, and it seems the upped price is possibly putting off sales judging by the 4-coach sets still being available (less so the single coaches), eg for CIE Green, 200 notes for 4: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/hattons-h4-46pack-1701-hattons-originals-genesis-pack-of-4-coaches-in-cie-dark-green-6t-6t-6cl-6bt

    A 141 here, wrong livery for me https://clarkrailworks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/murphy-models-oo-mm0154a-ir-class-141
  22. Tractionman
    I've no idea what the credibility is of these but thought they'd be of interest, the boxes are marked as LMS so I'm assuming someone has done a respray? https://clarkrailworks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/bachmann-oo-rake-of-5-cie-irish-coaches-copy Cheers, Keith
  23. Tractionman
    Yes I was looking at kits but then spotted the inf at the top
  24. Tractionman
    'Place your be(e)ts'?!
  25. Tractionman
    if you're short-sighted--as I am--taking off the specs the pixels merge and it looks to me like a view looking up from below, ie of the chassis, I can make out two axles, not sure how much that helps
