flange lubricator

Unfortunately Richard when you convert to €€€'s and add the custom's charge you could be looking at €250.00 to us in the EU , much better value to someone based in the UK .

Always as part of the liner never in a block train as such.

Beer kegs I think the scrap was used as a filler load you can make out another container of scrap further up the train the yellow paint was just numbers I think

Mountrath 21-04-2000 Down 1205 North Wall -Cork liner crossing up ety Cork -Platin Cement

Made up this 20ft container from a 20ft unpainted kit from C Rail and a scrap steel load cut to size from Ten Commandments models , added CIE decals . These 20’ containers were a regular on the Dublin -Cork liners bound for Irish steel at Haulbowline .

Fingers crossed

Great work Phillip the other coaches carried similar markings on the bogies as in this picture of 4105

The artist Patrick Scott was working for Michael Scott(no relation ) the architect of Scott Tallon Walker Architects, Michael Scott designed many Irish buildings including Busaras , Patrick Scott did all of the mosaics in that building . He was also later given the task of designing a new livery for CIE, part of the brief was to bring some uniformity and a streamlined look to the rolling stock which was all different shapes and sizes, so by using lines running the length of the train that gave a streamlined look white at the top black in the centre and brown /burnt clay at the bottom and yes part of the inspiration was his cat 'Miss Mouse' and her calico colouring of orange, black and white.

Not badly priced Murphy Models MM1701.MM1702.MM1703-PO01 RPSI Mk2 coaches - FK, TSO & BSO (hattons.co.uk)

I think it means that the locomotive is not certified for use on the mainline .

Fantastic job very realistic

I’d would imagine as far as IRM are concerned if you buy them you can put the Titfield thunderbolt at the front of them !

Not wanting to be marched out a shot at dawn but don’t suppose the factory would do a pack or two with round buffers as they were built .

They might do a trade in low mileage never race rallied or crashed I promise

Very intricate work

I new the sliverfox A's would come in handy .

Love the 001 with black roof Noel .

well done nice layout

Possibly a bit late but found this by Jonathan Allen on his Flickr of 3205TL seems to be missing the cover for the boiler but gives a interesting layout of the pipework

Don’t think the G class hauled that many passengers even when they were in service on some of the branch lines .

this is what the Union Pacific have done

It would be nice to if IE would do a few of the 071s in a 'fallen flags' scheme for example one in DSER livery with the company logo a dates of existence another in MGWR , GNR and so on all the companies that made up CIE and would provide a historical link to the history of the railway.

Looks great just need the Guard to fit the tailpiece and its ready to go .
