  • 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!

    Let’s hope it can be restored to working, nice to hear a Sulzer in the midst of all the GM’s. Stephen

    Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t there a second 4-8-0t, no 901, while 900 ran as a 4-6-2t for a while by disconnecting the back pair of driving wheels. Their primary role was banking heavy freight trains up the long bank from Kingsbridge, as it was then, to Inchicore. Stephen

    Lovely photos but I’m not sure what you’ve actually done, or am I being just plain dim. Stephen

    I’m not sure that the Cravens were ever wired for working with railcars. That was the original planet but it never seemed to happen. Stephen

    Is the footbridge your handiwork or did you get it from ANOther? Either way, it looks the DB’s. Stephen

    I believe a certain Lt Col HF Stephens had something to do with it at one time. Stephen

    I believe I read recently that the RHDR needs to spend a considerable sum of money to ensure its long term future. It is truly a mainline in miniature. Stephen

    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
