    Newbie trying a layout

    in Irish Model Layouts

    Posted

    @wrenneire where is a good place to buy good 2nd hand Irish models? And what is a good model to buy? Don't think I'd mind having Irish and uk on the same layout

    Will sketch out the way I'm thinking of laying it out, any good source for ideas (apart from here of course)

     

    eBay would be the best, then again I suppose if you look arround you will find stuff

    Hi guys

     

    I thought I replied to this earlier but it doesnt seem to have posted or perhaps posted somewhere else.

    Just wanted to thank you lads for the replies. I will look into the various different places to buy in the next few days.

     

    Also just wanted to say how incredible the models are here on the site. Its amazing the detail that can be reproduced. I would be hopeless at that sort of thing, hence im looking for a finished model.

    I forgot to mention that really I would only require a train/carraige for display rather than actual use on a track but if they can only be sourced for actual use on a track, then obviously that would be fine.

     

    Finally, I have two more questions;

    1)

    Again this video is taken only about 100m from my house. I notice that the train is iriah rail 071 class 087. Can someone explain to me what these numbers stand for?

     

    2) As I mentioned previously, the gypsum train used to travel on this line. I was wondering has anybody any info on this train or are there any links on the website about it? (I have already saw a few of the links on the site about it). Also has anybody ever made a model of those wagons? I always thought they were quite unusual with the pink material they carried

     

    Thanks

     

    Regards

    Brian

     

    Well i can help with the numbers, their are 18 class 071's numbered 071-088, the numbers in this don't really matter, they are quite a strange looking beast so quite easy to tell them appart from other locomotives. NIR have 3 "class 111's" which are glorifided 071s, numbered 8111-113, again numbers don't matter. And from what wikipedia tells me is that their are 4 in Yugoslavia! Now, as regard the models, heres the cheapest i could find them, the only reason i havent put this up sonner is because im very selfish.

    On arrival at Downpatrick, A39 has been referred to as the "Black Baby", while E421 was often known (at Downpatrick) as "The Tractor"! (And the original genny van, inside a CIE "H" van, was known as "Roaring Meg"!)

     

    Roaring Meg! Haha 

    Congratulations, Stephen, another lifetime commitment, the layout may go into storage for a few months.

     

    Don't encorage such behavior
