    Any ideas as to whether or not the pair will appear on the limerick Ballybrophy line again in the future?

    HOW did I miss this!? My only complaint is that I cant see it in Person!
  4. Metrovik
    It'll all depend on when the layout is set, anytime up until the 90s then most trams will be a bit out of place, I'd think although I'm usually wrong about these things

    Might purchase that Wickham inspection car myself as my soldering could be improved.

    Best of luck lad, good to see someone else was inspired by the Wexford show.

    Hold on to your sandwiches!

    This thread has gone for the birds.....

    Well now, was In Wales recently for a bit of volunteering on a narrow gauge railway ( different laws regarding ages of volunteers over-there), and talked to dozens of people over there, who invariably asked "where in Ireland are you from?" When I replied "Laois", They simply looked at me like I was speaking As Gaeilge and replied "Ive been to Galway........." Fair enough its a different country but you'd think at least one would have heard of it.

    Hold on, these are 4 wheeled coaches

    While waiting for Hattons Coaches to eventually arrive, I've picked up a pair of old ratio kits, which at £5 a pop when I bought them, will look just fine once sprayed green. I highly doubt they're in anyway prototypicalish to Irish stock though. ( I can't believe it.... I kinda answered a question instead of asking it!)

    I'll be honest, this kinda looks like a horror film.....

    Thanks alot Patrick, Now I feel so sad looking at my non sound fitted models.
  14. Metrovik
    Glad to hear we have another knowledgeable person whom I can pester with questions! Looking forward to this one.

    It certainly will be nice to see a bit more variety on the 5'3 although I hope the existing dart fleet aren't phased out TOO quickly......

    People, we all know that its clearly gonna be this, I mean what layout wouldn't this suit?
  17. Metrovik
    Would this be like a BnM Preservation society inaugural meeting? ( That's actually got a nice ring to it....)

    No progress to report, (surprise surprise) but I do have a question, Cork, how necessary is it for track underlay or is it sacrilegious to lay the track directly onto the board? Also I've been toying with the idea of making a real signal box for points and signals with the wire and tube method. Thoughts?
  19. Metrovik
    Anyone know whether or not this set will be put into revenue earning public service? Would be a nice surprise for trainspotters.....

    Come, on Patrick, you know you want to......

    Recently upon a trip on the rather sleepy Ballybrophy-limerick branch, I was struck with the thought, how feasible would it be for a rail tour to occur on this line, now the bigger locos would probably manage no problem but wouldn't it be interesting to see Guinness running a trip on the line. This added to semaphore signalling would make for quite an experience. But unlikely as it is to ever happen, is it even possible?

    God I love the look of shiny brass kits, how do people work up the courage to paint them?
  23. Metrovik
    Well, time for a small, Monthly progress report. Not surprisingly the station roof has hit a standstill, Anyone know if it would look prototypical for this to stay unpainted but weathered to hell and back. Small bit of landscaping, not sure if it really fits in though, might scrap it. The Station is finally more than just a roof. Albeit not much more, detail for this to follow. Station still needs alot of work to look presentable, but I'm getting there. See you next month (all going well), MV

    Best of luck lad, I know from experience that you've come to the best place for advice.
  25. Metrovik
    Yet again, I'm lost for words.
