  1. That is beautiful. Stephen
  2. And finally, how would the lime and coal have been delivered and the beet pulp and refined sugar collected, in trainloads or wagonloads? Stephen
  3. Thanks for that. Stephen
  4. Coal and beet obviously arrived in open wagons but how did the lime arrive? Stephen
  5. I expect there’s a good reason why B131 is running bonnet first. Stephen
  6. A thing of beauty indeed. Can’t wait to see the others. Stephen
  7. It really does look like the real thing. Well done. Stephen
  8. There was just such a proposal not so long ago to do just that. We’ll have to wait and see. Stephen
  9. I was always under the impression that VAT was not applicable to secondhand goods, the process of adding value through the life of a product finishing at the point of sale. Is this simply a case of raising revenue the easy way, catching the large, multinationals proving too difficult. Import duty is entirely a different matter. Stephen
  10. So,was somebody or something just making a point with the suspension? Stephen
  11. What about the Tara mines traffic, doesn’t that use the same track to the same terminal? Stephen
  12. But not insignificant if you live along the route, especially when you get onto single carriageway sections of road. Stephen
  13. Forgive me but how can the decision have nothing to do with the CEO? If that were to be the case, surely it would be a resignation issue? There’s clearly a pro roads policy operating within Dublin Port. Can you imagine lorries being banned on the grounds of congestion. Stephen
  14. Andy Cundick already has a beautiful 21mm gauge model of Valencia Harbour. Stephen
  15. Lovely to see more operations on the south Waterford line. Stephen
  16. StevieB

    export

    The 121 class was part a small number made by GM for export. Whilst looking very American, none ever ran there. Stephen
  17. Yes, B103. Stephen
  18. Taking account of the 6.5” gauge difference, I use 20mm track centre to platform edge and 47mm track centre to track centre, if that makes sense. Stephen
  19. Or forced air ventilation. Stephen
  20. Yes thanks. Stephen
  21. Excuse my ignorance but what is a third party tool? I am using the iPad I have used for many a year. Stephen
  22. All of a sudden there are no Murphy Models on eBay.co.uk, only on eBay.ie. Any reason for this? Stephen
  23. Read the articles in Railway Magazine with great interest. Stephen
  24. Thanks for that useful information. It gives me the opportunity to operate prototypical trains to and from my imaginary Youghal sugar factory. Having read the link, would molasses have been a byproduct as well, or were they imported instead? Stephen
  25. For three months at the end of every year the sugar factories were busy processing the locally harvested sugar beet. Two questions arise from this: 1) What happened for the rest of the year at the factories, and 2) What other traffic was there both to and from the factories? Stephen
