  1. Seasons Greetings everyone and happy modelling in 2023
  2. Not really Grey B121 locos were never equipped to work in multiple until the early 1970's when they were in the B&T livery with some members of the class not being fitted for multiple working until they were in Supertrain livery in the late 1970's.
  3. A very under rated body which can be improved with a little work but still is not too bad nice weathering job.
  4. I think that coach is AM13 formerly 1900 dont think it was preserved but may have been stripped for some parts .
  5. An excellent book with pictures of the Kingscourt branch and plenty of others , will be out of stock soon and everyone will be looking for it .
  6. As always exciecoachbuilder a very informative contribution .
  7. Warbonnets' picture from page 4 of this thread
  8. I think in later years it was always plywood, towards the end of their lives they would appear with doors patched or replaced with plywood unpainted .
  9. As far as I’m aware plywood some of the early ones were steel mesh think wood may have been preferred for corrosion. See 4.20 in this film
  10. Other than the dicky Tara’s " There are no scraps in my scrapbook."
  11. Luckily I got some but certainly went very fast , like vultures down on a meat wagon !!
  12. Yes they certainly did but they would have had a second man in the cab for the trip to Barrack Street.
  13. Not strange at all steam locos had two crew members a driver and fireman, diesels had only one crew member a driver the 121 class could operate bonnet first but required a second man to be present, on a steam loco when the fireman was not firing, he would have been assisting the driver in sighting signals etc the same as the second man on a bonnet first 121 class would do.
  14. The retention of turntables at a lot of places decades after the end of steam was down to the 121 class .
  15. Yes 40'-45' seem to be the most common, with regard to the 121 class early in their careers one of them was operating bonnet first and was in collision with a PWD Trolley and this made the railway to change the rules regarding the 121-class operating bonnet first which was no longer permitted however on occasion this was done but there had to be a second man present.
  16. Thats sounds like a sensible plan hopefully people won’t be greedy and limit themselves to one or two packs so everyone will get an opportunity to get some .
  17. Any update on this for Black Friday should I be breaking out my sleeping bag flask and woolly hat for an overnight queue?
  18. I think they might be waiting for someone to get a working crossley engine
  19. Not that I am aware of the first ones to be withdrawn were of this type a number of the ones at Mallow BFS were the older 30001-30099.
  20. I would also be interested in this Phillip.
