They really don't make em like they used to. Also worth baring in mind that these trains were toys first and models second. Wonder how many of today's fads will be running in 60 years time??

?

I feel like it's more poetic than that, it seems like he's looking at someone, possibly the person hanging out the window, as if they're saying goodbye, running along beside the train, looking at this person for what might be the last time if this train is bound for rosslare. To take it even further he's sprinting in a last ditch attempt at confessing his love before she leaves to work in the UK. He knows he's got one last chance, and this is it so he sprints, frantically shouting out over the sound of the engines before he runs out of platform and the train goes out of sight. He's left standing there, out of breath and on the platform edge, not knowing if she heard him or not, but knowing he'll have to wait at the station for the rest of the day, watching every train arrive, hoping and praying she's on it. Got a bit carried away there, probably just the wrong platform.

Very impressive! I'll be in touch soon!

These aren't the puns you're looking for...

I printed out the loco use my cheap creality ender 3 and despite the obvious imperfections, I believe it came out rather well. The only advice I can give is the use of tree supports rather than walls and a top z distance of 0.22mm seems to yield the best snap off results. Must emphasize the above is merely a test print, resin would no doubt have better results. How lucky I am to find W&T rolling stock files as well as the gentleman that is Bulletwanderer.

Tramore is also planning to be in attendance for the second year running. With some more prototypical rolling stock this time round!

Bringing back an old thread here, but would anybody happen to know if the van had the sliding door on one side or both?

A class shiny (but usually dirty) silver please!

I was thinking that too but couldn't find a picture....

Above is a page of the Waterford and Tramore railway by Fayle and Newman. I've run into some confusion. The middle photo shows Tramore station 1959 when the track had been largely removed bar a single line. The bottom picture shows the station in 1960. The track seems to have been reinstated less than a year later! The whole line closed in 1960 so I've been led to believe the track was removed, relayed and removed again in the space of less than a year! Is this correct or an error on behalf of the publishers? (Not trying to damage their reputation, just seems hard to believe!)

121 class in silver 1950s livery. Cc1 in black and tan??

How many Clayton's were there? Did they all end up on the W&T or were some of them immediately scrapped?

Glorious! Looks to be grand drying weather there anyway!

Spurred on by Mol and out of fear I might miss out I duly placed a pre-order and I was pleasantly surprised that I was entitled to discounts with the very few points I had built up. Very much appreciated AS/IRM!

Or none if modelling tramore in Railcar days! Unfortunately, the aul Leaving Certificate is getting in the way of my modelling at the moment. I'll get back to it soon. Just a month or two to go....

As someone who is (sort of) in the process of modelling the w&t this is honestly incredible. Captures the site perfectly!

And sure while your at it you may as well put out a few W&T coaches too!

Suppose the Tramore driving trailer is a bridge too far??

Only had the pleasure of meeting the man once, in Blackrock college last year. Was very complimentary and overall struck me as a gentleman. Looking back I just wish I had realized who I was talking to at the time. Rest in Peace.

Just said I'd throw out a quick question on the off chance somebody "in the know" could help, Has anybody any idea what time "An Sairseal" will be passing Kildare this Saturday? I'm passing through the area and hoping I might get lucky.

Where can I pick myself up one of these? Perfect for my totally unprototypical layout!

Have to agree with you there, pass it almost daily. Anyone know of any other views of the place?

Was not expecting such comprehensive replies within 15 minutes! Many thanks gents.

Just gonna throw out a question in case somebody may know the answer. While at least one of the examples on the Waterford and tramore was converted into a driving trailer for the AEC railcars, would anyone be able to shed some light upon which of the green liveried options would be most similar? (Although I suspect they're all different in reality...)
