  • 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!

    You continue to feed us lovely photos of the old Irish railway network. Long may it continue. Stephen

    I have a couple of Silver Fox 101’s and I am very pleased with them. They are very heavy with excellent slow running. Stephen

    Heljan, Accurascale’s recent acquisition, produce a model of the GWR diesel railcar, the forerunner to the GNR/CIE railcars. Bearing this in mind, maybe Heljan should be looking into the Irish variant. Stephen

    Wasn’t the RPSI preserved 121 painted in this livery for a brief period of time? Stephen

    The triple track west of Waterford was originally two tracks towards Limerick Junction and one towards Dublin. In later years there were three single lines towards Dublin, Limerick Junction and Mallow. The latter period would have been a lovely one to model to just watch trains go by. Stephen

    A nice piece of fiction but very convincing. Stephen

    So sorry to hear the news. I’ve suffered flooding but fire is a different thing altogether. It takes no prisoners but at least you and yours are ok. Stephen

    A lovely tribute, Leslie. Stephen

    I haven’t seen any mention of the scale. Whatever it is, the whole scene is quite delightful. What about North Wall (MGWR)? Stephen

    Where can we get new number transfers, I have two class 141’s looking for new numbers? Stephen

    The 7mm J18 is currently not shown on the Alphagrafix website. Interesting. Stephen

    Surely it’s a mk3 EGV. Stephen

    It is an incredible resource which I frequently delve into. Stephen

    What is more likely is that he does it for a living, lucky chap. Stephen
