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

    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

    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

    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

    Yup, both Mark’s Models and Rails of Sheffield have them to order. Stephen

    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
  17. StevieB
    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
  19. StevieB
    An understatement if ever I’ve heard one. Stephen
  20. StevieB
    Rosslare Harbour would make an interesting model. Anyone ever tried it? Stephen
  21. StevieB
    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
  23. StevieB
    My purchase arrived earlier this week, love the Accurascale packing as opposed to the IRM packaging. Stephen
  24. StevieB
    Are you sure about the second freight terminating at Bantry, wasn’t it Drimoleague? Stephen
  25. StevieB
    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
