flange lubricator

Shows how much the world has thankfully moved on when a Gin with that name can be sold in a UK supermarket !

Great videos , I also went for the2 x iPhone speakers as they were relatively inexpensive per unit and were very easy to fit without having to carry out too many modifications to the loco .

Well done as a fledgling Irish company in an established market place it’s a fabulous achievement. So proud of your success.

thought those yokes could take thousands of volts

Like yourself did a little research and I recently took the plunge with a NCE powercab(everything you need is in the box ) and fitted one of my 121 class and an A class with sound chips and I was blown away ! The MM141/181 require a speaker to be fitted but not that difficult either to do .

And so say all of us! If the arrivial of the A class doesn't spur the rest of us into action nothing will !

There are plenty of laser foam cutting firms around the place that would cut the foam any colour you want .

The basis of the coal / oil were the 22’6” skeletal flat wagon they were also used for grain , bells , asahi , tar , spoil , kegs and more !!

as long as they are supertrain sausages with a black stripe

The only difference was the addition of brake cylinder, hand brake wheel and brake blocks .

Conscious of not wanting to go too far of topic below is a picture from left of J M Designs pre 1953 covered van , Provincial Wagons post 1953 covered van and last Provincial Wagons post 1953 covered van but ‘fitted’ brake blocks on all wheels and round hand brake wheel as they would look running with Vacuum brakes . I certainly will be ordering a LMA van or Two for variety whn they are available.

I am also discovering some wonderful gems in that IRRS flickr site there is fabulous one of a H van 18828 in green with Vacuum brakes with sliding doors by Gerard McGowan , which like you I had read about but never seen picture of one . Many thanks to Ciaran Cooney of the IRRS for painstakingly taking the time to scan these pictures , while some of them are just ordinary rolling stock photos and would not appeal to many they provide a wealth of information for the modeller .

My five sets of 2 x iPhone speakers duly arrived and fitted one to MM182 along with a GM 645 sound chip sounded a little loud when compared to my MM126 so I turned it down a little .

They were moved to Clonmel and then a few at a time to Limerick works to be coverted to Ballast wagons in the late 1990's

I think the Dolimite wagons 26612 -26627 were the same chassis too very similar wagon to the ballast /gypsum.

Great news they will look great with supertrain and Black and Tan locos I will be participating. They will look even better in a mixed set with CIE oil wagons which is the way they operated , hint hint nudge nudge …………….

I think you mean subtracted?

Not my era but a very reasonable price

I think if you read it you will find that its 'From £2.04ea ' but when you look up the same speaker the price is pretty much the same carraige via ebay is higher and that dosent include the charge from the postman ,I will stick with dealing direct .

Ordered some on Monday from them Qty 4 plus 1 free for £35.95 incl postage which worked out at €43.99 Road and Rails took off the Vat, I had to Pay An Post a futher €13.23 in Vat and handling making a total of €57.22 so each speaker worked out at €11.45 landed at my door which is not too bad .

looks like its from the appendix to the working timetable 1935

Esso wagons

A great example of thrift by the railway and re cycling repurposing of rolling stock 1950s bodies on 1960s underframes which lasted until the end of the beet in 2005 .

Certainly the baby boomer speaker is more in the price range , the double iPhone when landed will be somewhere near €50 !!. When you add to this the chip it makes fitting sound to the B GM loco a little expensive. Wonder has any one done a comparison sound of both speakers ?
