  • Biography
    I am a 64 year old Englishman who has long found Irish railways fascinating because of both their similarity to and difference from the railways in the UK. Save for the fact that my younger son's father-in-law came from Dundalk, I have no connections with Ireland whatsoever. I do, however, have the same birthday as the republic. That's probably where my interest comes from!

    The BR generator vans were converted from BSK and BCK. Stephen

    They make up into fine models. What underframes have you used. Are they part of the body kit or do you have to source them separately. Stephen

    I assume that the one preserved at Cultra is the GSR predecessor. Stephen

    As one of those with a superb interest in Irish railways, I have noticed that the Accurascale website is not so easy to navigate when searching for Irish models compared to the old IRM website. Stephen

    An understatement if ever I’ve heard one. Stephen

    Rosslare Harbour would make an interesting model. Anyone ever tried it? Stephen

    Learning when and how to slow down is not that easy but do try for everyone’s sake. What’s the saying, you’re a long time dead! Best wishes. Stephen

    No drivers in NI? Can’t IE drivers be passed for operation in NI? Just a thought. Stephen

    My purchase arrived earlier this week, love the Accurascale packing as opposed to the IRM packaging. Stephen

    Are you sure about the second freight terminating at Bantry, wasn’t it Drimoleague? Stephen

    Two possible sources of coach for conversion are the old Graham Farish corridor third and the Hornby Maunsell low window corridor third. The former is much cheaper but the tops of the corridor windows needs lowering. Stephen

    I knew that Silver Fix did the 600 and 700 class railcars but not the 900. That explains it. Nice one. Stephen

    Are the U and UG going to be for sale or will you be keeping them? Stephen

    The ebay price is some 60% greater than the IRM price, say no more. Stephen
