  1. Looks great you have made a great start .
  2. I would imagine there will be more Freight transported in the boot of my saloon car between now and 2040 then will be generated for the railway as a result of this report .
  3. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge Know what I mean!
  4. Some out of the box
  5. I did sonething similar by adding a 1mmx1mm piece under the roof to have the same effect .
  6. For those of you who have access to the IRRS photos on Flickr there is a great picture of 18828 a CIE H van one of the 18762-18861 batch built 1958 , 18828 was one of 15 fitted with vacuum brakes 1961/62 and pressed steel ends and sliding doors , a forerunner of the 1964 introduced Palvans 26000 but the dimenions are more similar to the standard H van , the 18762 series were painted green with flying snail black ends for their use on passanger trains , eventually they would be painted standard grey.
  7. I dont know the dimensions but they were certainly higher
  8. A cuddly toy and a fondue set ?
  9. A number of ex CIE coaches were disposed of in that quarry .
  10. In Inchicore waiting for Uri Geller to put in an appearance and lay his hands upon it .
  11. Yes your probably correct but at the time there was a big imperative to keep the skilled workforce and craftsmen at Inchicore employed and where they could they built them in house , I think the E421's were the last locos built at Inchicore. I was talking to an electrician from Ballyfermot who worked in Inchicore in the 1960's when I asked him about them he remarked that "many holidays and home improvements were paid for with the overtime they got from building the E class" so the wider economy benefited too.
  12. When they are gone they are gone! Hurry up if you want one .
  13. 018 only 3 left , A15 only 1 left, both on the endangered species list too.
  14. There are many books published over the years with a plethora of middle of the road pictures of steam in Ireland they are great because of the rarity of the content with the odd gem in amongst the pictures , this book contains gems of the highest calibure on every page so if you think its too expensive then don't buy it , but if you do buy it you won't be disappointed.
  15. Received my first A class today dispatched yesterday and received from An Post this morning . The loco is simply stunning worth the wait of 3 years .
  16. I have just received a copy of this book and its a super publication worth the price the reproduction of the black and white images is suberb.
  17. No time for that you got to prep some A class for service on Tara Juction first!
  18. Any pics of it in the flesh or are your hands shaking too much to take a photo !
  19. The difference in delivery could be down to hours 24 maybe 48 after waiting 3 years you have to get things into perspective we could be pedantic but is it not worth it considering we have patiently waited this long . Too dispatch the orders in the way you suggest might involve re picking the orders and may inadvertently delay the deliveries overall .
  20. Well it will be an internet Auction too
  21. Interesting auction of memorabilia and vintage models Purcell Auctioneers | Auctions | Exceptional Collection of Irish Railwayana and Model Railway Collectab...
  22. If you fancy re numbering an A class here's a great tutorial on how to re number a loco ,
