  1. Hi Leslie I think I used Parkside Dundas vanwide kit and 12 ton covered van kit here is a link to a previous thread I still think it would be worth while offering a kit as many people don’t want to take the kit bashing route which involves a good deal of work whereas your kit would be a lot simpler and quicker to put together.
  2. These are some the Palvans with different ends which I made using Parkside Dundas kits .
  3. Prisoner has escaped from Mountjoy and Gardai are looking into the Mater .
  4. Great work , I will pick up a few of these at Blackrock in October hopefully the Sterling will still be favourable to us in €uroland
  5. Great layout as always a couple of black and tan 121's will look very at home when they arrive hopefully later this year .
  6. I remember the so called beauty board on the inside side panels but the ends and centre partitions were a very nice veneer wood .
  7. The Fertilizer mainly ran from IFI plant in Arklow to various parts of the country and on occasion from Albatross in New Ross ,Gouldings in Askeaton via Foynes and even from Goulding’s in Farranfore .
  8. They look fantastic love the joins on the end panel to replicate the plywood finish
  9. Any update on the sides for the commonwealth bogies .
  10. Super job topclass modeling
  11. The 071's were always present on the Rosslare Line in the late 1970's , I remember about 1979 one would work the Rosslare passenger every few months instead of the normal pair of 121's maybe something to do with driver training /familiarisation ?
  12. I think the tablet catchers were the same height on all the locos I think the issue was have been the height of the window , which on a 121 was much higher than the other locos , this may have made the placement and retrieval of the staff from the snatcher more difficult? So in the original postion the snatcher was sitting at three o’clock from the cab side but in the revised position was the at five o’clock from the cab side and when pull back was easier for the snatcher man to retrieve ?
  13. The RPSI's 1463 in Black and tan in Nov 1984 at Mullingar still one of my favorite liveries
  14. Simply stunning you have captured the true essence of the laminate coaches what livery are you going for
  15. Pictures of the interior here https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/rpsi-collection/35/1463-open-third
  16. Great drawings John
  17. Oxford Rail are also doing a version these have the revised suspension (J hangers ) so they are nearer to the CIE ones . https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/class-b-tank-esso-unbranded-black-revised-suspension-47792-or76tkb002
  18. No the Esso wagons only went to Sligo , Oranmore and Claremorris the wagons to the bus garages would have been CIE fuel/oil wagons . Some nice pictures of these Esso wagons on p59 and p92 in 'Rails through the west '.
  19. I got my hands on one of these tank wagons and they are the business super model .
  20. Just one minor detail the Inchicore coach builders who put these coaches together were real craftsmen the rib's on the body work always matched the rib's on the roof this is very well illustrated in josefstadt's pictures
  21. That is one of the finest laminate coaches I've have seen and the bogies bring it to the next level.
