David Very enjoyable, many thanks. Stephen
-
Stunning, absolutely stunning. Stephen

Could the shunt at Glen More be recorded on video? I think this is the best way of showing the intricacies of shunting, what railwaymen did to make their life as simple as possible and also the length of time it took. Nowhere as long as the real thing but but more than just a few minutes if you build in the time for coupling/uncoupling, etc. Stephen

Uniload containers were meant to be the modern way of dealing with sundries traffic, ie less than wagonload, in the final days before this traffic was lost for good to road transport. Stephen

Wow, very convincing. Stephen

It just gets better. Stephen

All very nice. Stephen

You’ll have to take account of the fact that turnouts in 21mm will be longer than their 16.5mm equivalents. Other than that, it is the way to go if you’re unable to go 21mm from the start. Stephen

It’s owned by RPSI at Whitehead. Stephen

Patrick A very enjoyable 27 seconds. Because you’ve been able to model a reasonable length of railway with two stations, plus a siding, there’s the potential with your layout to demonstrate how railways used to operate. Stephen

I see that the new Murphy Models 121’s are already appearing on eBay. There’s a surprise. Stephen

Glen More is beginning to look a lot like Dungarvan. Stephen

The correct size wheelsets do make the Cravens sit higher but it’s easy enough to lower the ride of the body on the bogies. Stephen -
It just gets better with every posting. Stephen

Says it’s withdrawn. Stephen

The October issue of HORNBY magazine has a review of the new 00 Works 0-6-0ST in its Southern format. It will be out in its Great Southern format later this year. It looks all very nice. Stephen

What a state to get into, just like in the UK. Stephen

Yup, BELL liner trains between Cork and Waterford were timetabled to run from Limerick Junction to Waterford on the former WLWR main line. Stephen

I’ve never directly answered the question ‘is the glass half full or half empty?’, preferring the engineering answer ‘it’s twice as big as it needs to be’. Stephen -
At first I thought this was the real thing, not a model. Artistry and good photography can deceive the eye. Well done. Stephen
-
Patrick You’ve captured the feel of a country railway in South Waterford, but change a few details and it could be anywhere in these islands. Have you got room to run dolomite trains from Lombardstown and oil and magnesite Trains to/from Cork? Stephen

I find a good representation of the latter day tank wagons is the Dapol tank body from their class B kit mounted on the Dapol 12’ 0” underframe. Stephen

The spray coach was converted from one of the BGSV’s which was originally a BR BSK, whereas the RPSI BGSV started life as a BR BCK. Any chance of a second version of the spray tanks in their original form on 20’ 0” flats? Stephen

I think what you are referring to is the original alignment of the Cork and Youghal Railway, which terminate adjacent to, but at a higher level than, Glanmire Road station, now Kent station. Stephen
