  • 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!

  1. 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
  2. A nice piece of fiction but very convincing. Stephen
  3. RIP. Stephen
  4. 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
  5. A lovely tribute, Leslie. Stephen
  6. I haven’t seen any mention of the scale. Whatever it is, the whole scene is quite delightful. What about North Wall (MGWR)? Stephen
  7. Where can we get new number transfers, I have two class 141’s looking for new numbers? Stephen
  8. The 7mm J18 is currently not shown on the Alphagrafix website. Interesting. Stephen
  9. Surely it’s a mk3 EGV. Stephen
  10. It is an incredible resource which I frequently delve into. Stephen
  11. What is more likely is that he does it for a living, lucky chap. Stephen
  12. Wasn’t the use rail transport a condition of the original planning permission! What has changed apart from the current unavailability of rail transport due to ongoing works in the port of Dublin? Stephen
  13. The tender is wrong, should be the same as on the N. Maybe Rapido will donthis version at a later date. Also, the K1a appears to be more an Irish N with 6’ 0” drivers rather than an Irish U. Strange. Stephen
  14. They’ve also announced the Southern U class 2-6-0, which has the potential for a GSR K1a version. Unfortunately, the tender is wrong, the N/K1 is correct. Stephen
  15. Yup, both Mark’s Models and Rails of Sheffield have them to order. Stephen
