    I suppose a run of dolomite hoppers is next! Stephen

    Some lovely stuff there. Stephen

    Correct me if I’m wrong but 26595 is a former magnesite wagon. There is a picture on this forum of one converted into a hopper wagon. I think it was at Ballinacourty, so presumably it was used for the transport of dolomite. Stephen

    The Triang/Hornby L1 4-4-0 is similar to many Irish 4-4-0’s. Stephen

    Meaning no disrespect to anyone working in the rail industry, the UK government went to the wrong people for an overview of a fixed link between GB and NI. They should have gone to the oil and gas industry, which has bucketloads of experience of building deep water structures. Stephen

    £ I also have a Silverfox C but look forward to IRM producing one in the not too distant future. Stephen

    Many years ago modelling friends used a technique called drying brushing to achieve a realistic weathered appearance. Stephen

    The latest additions to my fleet of Irish wagons.

    Look forward to it. Stephen

    I would concur with Iain Rice approach of 25 grams per axle plus brass axle bearings. Operation will be so much better when everything is to a common standard. Stephen

    As Mr Punch would say ‘that’s the way to do it’. The long established manufacturers in the UK all have long leadtimes, very often with little idea of actual dates. Keep up the excellent work. Stephen

    The track looks the part. Stephen

    The damage must have proved terminal as the 165DS no longer exists. That’s a great shame as it was a small but impressive machine, which would have proved very useful to the likes of the D&CDR. Stephen

    And you have to pay the exorbitant postage on top! Stephen

    We have all come to expect good customer service. Now I don’t know if DC kits is a one man band but that might explain the poor customer service referred to, and we have just had the Christmas and New Year break. Stephen

    The Bug started life on the RHDR, was sold to a concern in Ireland and then, more recently, returned to the RHDR. Stephen

    I’m gradually fitting Kadees to my stock. They work so well and are the way forward as far as I’m concerned. Stephen

    I’ve had a copy for many years. It’s an absolutely lovely album stuffed full of evocative photos of all aspects of Irish railway operations. Stephen

    The railcar photo is quite a delight. The two railcars are from the 700 and 900 series but what is the intermediate coach? Stephen

    The observant may have noticed that the tracks on the former Letterkenny line already been lifted so that the replacement bus service can use the former railway bridge to gain access to County Donegal. Stephen

    Santa dropped off a copy. Thanks. Stephen
