I assume that’s the November issue. Stephen

The middle photo featuring only the cattle wagons blew me away. Only the couplings give it away as not the real thing. Brilliant modelling. Stephen

The Burma Road - Greenway Confirmed
StevieB replied to Auto-Train Original's topic in What's happening on the network?
With the imminent completion of the double tracking of the the line to Midleton, we’ll have to see how the case for re-opening of the line onwards to Youghal deals with the greenway currently occupying the alignment. The greenway should have been built to allow reinstatement of the line on half of the double track alignment but I doubt it. Stephen -
Sligo had two platforms, one signalled for arrivals and the other for departures. Did this change later on or was it simply a mistake to say that, after running round, the train was propelled into the arrival platform? Mayner continues to be a mine of information. Stephen.

Paul’s rendition of the summer 1959 timetable was most interesting and enlightening. I did a similar exercise when the SLNCR was still running its freight and passenger trains to and from Enniskillen, even more train movements. Stephen

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
