    It very much looks the part. Stephen

    Do you get a prize for being the first to show off the A/001 class? Wonderful stuff. Stephen

    Having waited so long for these beauties, does it really matter whether you get yours tomorrow or the day after? Stephen

    I look forward to your forthcoming book on the Mallow to Waterford/Rosslare line. I do hope that it is on your radar. In the meantime, I look forward to reading Rails through Tipperary. Stephen

    Another one to add to the ever increasing range of Southern emu’s. Shame I’m into Great Southern modelling. Stephen

    That sentiment doesn’t just apply to modelling, it applies to all aspects of life. Stephen

    We’re not seeing enough of this delightful layout. More please. Stephen

    As Robert points out, you need to be oh so careful with cant and transitions on model railways. They are not the same as the real thing, where space is, generally, not at a premium. I’m another who subscribes to the ‘less is more’ point of view. You only need a hint of canr to have the desired effect. Stephen

    An unusual shot looking from the back to the front of the train. I’ve not seen many like that. Stephen

    Shame but it’s understandable. Stephen

    I first came across this photo in The Railway Magaine of August 1964 in an article entitled ‘New Irish coaches are versatile’. The order was for 70 coaches from Cravens of Sheffield, 10 to be delivered complete, 30 coming as shells to be completed at Inchicore and 30 to be constructed at Inchicore with technical help from Cravens. Of particular interest was that the vacuum brake was compatible with the brake system used on the railcars then in use. One final point is the figure 2 on the doors denoting they were second class.

    Nice. Stephen What wheelbase were the wagons? Stephen

    The loco is an E1R 0-6-2T, a Southern rebuild of an LBSCR E1 0-6-0T, but then you probably knew that. The coach appears to an LSWR gate brake, similar to the kind of thing produced by Kernow Model Centre. Stephen

    Halwill Junction, the southern end the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Railway, one of the last of Colonel Stephens lines to be built. He used to refer to them as associated railways, the fifth group of lines in GB. Stephen

    So true, but it’s the enthusiasts who are the most vociferous in terms of telling what you should be doing and how. Stephen
