Production Complete - A First Look At Our Bulleid Open Wagons
Flying Snail replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
Oooh, exciting .... unpowered I take it, or dare we hope for the long anticipated Irish Steam announcement??? Edit: I expect it'll be another of the super little bulleids, given the title of this thread .. but hey, you never know! -
Welcome on board James! You've definitely after falling in with the right crowd here if nostalgia is your thing! I have your book on Small Layout Design (really enjoyed it, and keep returning to it). I'm looking forward to seeing how this project develops

The original and best livery! Do some of them still have their front gangways? If so, I hope its applied to some of those for the real authentic look! It feels like yesterday when they first came out .... -
Nice .. 154 was one of my three Babies today!
-
Oh, they'll be well hid! My fall back line when she happens across me playing with a new loco that she hasn't seen before is that the liveries are interchangeable - vinyl overlays or some such

Since we're still speaking of threesomes: Just received notification from An Post that I have three on their way to me today Don't worry - herself is at work and the dog won't grass me up

GSWR/GSR/CIE Six-Wheeled Coaches - ECMbuild in Gauge OO
Flying Snail replied to murrayec's topic in ECM Model Trains
Great builds as always - love the weathering on the brake 3rd!! -
Comparing design notes??????? Very impressive work by the way Killian and GSR - Nice to see the WLW in the mix as well as the Queens!

Apparently you'd also need to be emissions free @jhb171achill. My pot belly runs on Guinness, so thats probably no good anyhow

Now that we've seen he's a dab hand at the old metal work too, I fully expect him to decide to mount it on a steel under frame and wheels by summer .... watch this space!!!!
-
You'll have an old pot belly stove in there, surely?

Hands down the best 1:1 scale model of a SLNC (or any company's) van to grace these pages This is a really great project, I really enjoy following it. Well done @Gabhal Luimnigh!!!!!

Nice looking loco! -
It looks like a couple of J15s had gearbox issues in Raheny in 2022 ....
-
They're moving fast, I see 186 is already out of stock and three more are already down to single digits!! I have a few on their way to me, but I was holding out until pay day to see if I would grab a couple more .. looks like I'll miss that train

Bulleids looking very well in a wonderful setting: Borris looks excellent. The A class weathering job looks class too! -
I've bought recently from Rails. Its relatively straight forward - no customs charges (and no UK VAT), but you will have to pay Irish VAT and the customs handling fee

New Murphy Models 201 Class Locos Likely in 2025
Flying Snail replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in News
I'd buy that too DJ! It will be 80 years since the foundation of CIE on 1st Jan next - wouldn't it be a nice way to celebrate the anniversary by putting out a real-life 201 in a lined green livery with flying snail logo? Maybe some of the IE employees on here can stick that in the suggestion box next time they're passing the Board Room?
