  1. Just finished painting and and adding decals to my J M Designs open and covered wagons , only when painting them did I appreciate the superb quality of these wagons.
  2. A lot of them were converted to ballast wagons in the late 1990’s after lying out of use in a siding in Enniscorthy for many years .
  3. Picked up one of these Oxford Rail 14ton wagons which seem very similar to Irish Shell wagons removed the ‘Mobil ‘ logos , got the Irish Shell transfers from Des at SSM models
  4. I think one could say that the thread has like 224 suffered a catastrophic crack in its main frame .
  5. Hopefully we wont have to wait that long for the next announcement from IRM.
  6. judging by look of the loco not many people read the sign
  7. Is it being repaired or is it undergoing a process of component recovery?
  8. If you looked inside the loco you could see the engine has been removed also the fuel tank and air tanks are also gone that may account for slightly bowed look.
  9. Yes as far as I remember they used the 27301 series flats for the coal and oil
  10. Yes that is correct but I thinks CIE were trying a number of solutions to the problem and this was one of them and I dont think it was a successful one.
  11. Was it for heating on branch line trains like the Loughrea?
  12. The C /B201 were very versatile and did plenty of shunting in their day
  13. Some slight visual differences in the Maybach engined locos and the C and later B GM versions . No GM headlight One of the side port hole windows covered in as illustrated in this picture from Ernies Railway Archive Lots of variations in the C , B201 locos for any manufacturer considering doing it hint hint....................
  14. I recently changed IR007 to CIE007 while I did not renumber the loco I removed the letter. S and the IR logo both front and sides using a cotton bud and some T-cut scratch remover / paint restorer , do this slowly and gingerly perhaps starting on one of the side numbers .
  15. When I looked at the price I thought it was perhaps Russian ruble as opposed to Euros.
  16. That’s a personal preference really.
  17. Just something to note when I was in my gricing infancy in the 1970s I always remember the older drivers who would have started as steam men in their driving careers standing while driving the A &C classes unlike the GM’s the A had fold up seats like the seats in the cinema, so it was common to see drivers standing leaning against the folded up seat .
  18. As the famous album from the band Genesis was titled ……And then there were three …..
  19. Perhaps IRM might do a special offer on Green A42 in honour of our National Day …….
  20. Looks fantastic a fabulous space for a model railway.
