    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    Says it’s withdrawn.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

    Hi As far as I was aware, the only 47’ container flat was the one produced by IFM. Have you managed to source another supply? Stephen

    Thanks for that. If you Google Ballyconnell Road and select images, you’ll find some absolutely wonderful photos. Stephen

    I’m not quite sure where you mean to see Mick Rawlings handiwork. I saw Ballyconnell Road at Railwells the other year. To be honest, nothing else came close to it for me. Stephen

    How very devious, but also practical, to take the track through the side wall of the station where it can’t be seen. Stephem

    It has the potential to provide valuable extra business for the railway, assuming no-one improves the roads, Stephen

    I stand corrected. Many thanks. Stephen

    There’s a guy selling MM171 on eBay, who says it’s a special done exclusively for Marks Models. Really? Stephen
  23. StevieB
    Wow, looks very impressive. Stephen
  24. StevieB
    I think all postal vans across these islands were the same. It was a security thing. Stephen
  25. StevieB
    Wow is all I can say. Stephen
