    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

    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

    My purchase arrived earlier this week, love the Accurascale packing as opposed to the IRM packaging. Stephen

    Are you sure about the second freight terminating at Bantry, wasn’t it Drimoleague? Stephen

    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

    I knew that Silver Fix did the 600 and 700 class railcars but not the 900. That explains it. Nice one. Stephen

    Are the U and UG going to be for sale or will you be keeping them? Stephen

    The ebay price is some 60% greater than the IRM price, say no more. Stephen

    Totally agree with you. Stephen

    It has always baffled me how differently countries tackle the same problem, whether on our roads or railways. Propelling trains is a no no over in the UK, whereas it is par for the course in Ireland. Stephen
