Flying Snail

Very nice indeed - love the backscene!

These prints look very good indeed! Maybe its the diesel wine speaking, but I stand by what I said about FDM being a viable option

I'd suggest reaching out to the IRRS. They have a lot of railway footage on their Youtube channel https://irrs.ie/resources/

It may be worth trying the old-fashioned route and writing to Alan by post. His address is listed on the Worsley Works website. Given the difficulty people seem to be having in reaching him by email/phone, it’s possible he may no longer be in a position to manage correspondence that way. A letter might be seen by Alan himself, or by someone assisting him, who could perhaps help move things forward.

That looks like a really neat job - very clean brasswork

There's a Co-op in Holyhead a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal ... I'll keep an eye out for the screwtop the next time I'm passing through ... it'll make the train trip to Chester fly along nicely

It looks well in Northport Quay. Lovely model - really eye catching, and its been an enjoyable build to follow

Its like chalk and cheese .. that last picture really does look like two different models. Lovely weathering!

That looks very good, nice detail in that print - FDM with a 0.2 nozzle looks like a viable alternative to resin printing

Few pics of it here in @Westcorkrailway's thread:

There is indeed a photo of 91 as a saddle tank in the GSR book!

I think he might pass for a member of Ireland's other police force at the time, the DMP: Dublin Metropolitan Police. However, as the name implies it wouldn't have had jurisdiction down the country in places like Northport Quay

I'm very much looking forward to seeing what nuggets you've unearthed! Enjoy the tour (that goes for everyone on here partaking too! )

Congratulations! Its an excellent layout!

Very nice indeed!
