  1. Wow is all I can say. Stephen
  2. Wow indeed. All we need now is the turf burner. Stephen
  3. John All looks very good. How does this fit in with the Rank wagon and six plank open you recently announced? Are you planning a range of both rtr and kit wagons? Stephen
  4. Andy A lovely piece of modelling. I hope we may see it at the Cheltenham show sometime in the future. I very much enjoyed Valencia Harbour there back in October 2015. Stephen
  5. Wow, what a beaut! Stephen
  6. The footbridge looks so much better lowered to the correct height. Well done. When I did this to my footbridge, I found that you have to be very careful with the plastic latticework when cutting bits off. Also, the surface areas available for sticking the pieces back together are very limited. What colour did you repaint it in? Stephen
  7. I’ve bought from them in the past and they were very good to deal with. Stephen
  8. That was quite a sum the NI government paid for NCC. I wonder what that would be today and what NIR is worth by way of comparison. Stephen
  9. Am I right in thinking that the UTA had to buy the NCC from the railway executive? Stephen
  10. Very nice and to think that Leslie might have this on his radar. Stephen
  11. I always thought the prototype was a very attractive loco, albeit made in quantities of one! Stephen
  12. If 00 Works could be persuaded to make a model of the original SLNCR 0-6-4T, I wonder how many they would sell. It would be nice to think they would go like hot cakes but is that being too optimistic/naive? Stephen
  13. Some more lovely shots from the south Waterford line. If only the direct line between Cork and Waterford had been built rather than the circuitous one via Mallow. Stephen
  14. You could go one step further and incorporate the never built GNR(I) link from Bundoran to Sligo. Failure to build this line was the main reason for the SLNCR. Imagine if you will GNR(I) trains at Sligo/GSR trains at Bundoran. If only I had been quicker off the mark and bought some 00 Works U/UG’s. Stephen
  15. Both of them froze, the first part-way through and the second never got going. Otherwise, excellent. Stephen
  16. They were that bad, then. Stephen
  17. Georgeconna also had one for sale on eBay recently. Stephen
  18. The articles by David Malone in RailModel Digest featured his layout Cliffoney, the might have been MGWR line from Sligo to Bundoran. Sadly, apart from a couple of photos in Modelling Irish Railways, it has never featured in any other magazine, unless someone knows better. Stephen
  19. Do you add brass wheel bearings or are they free running enough without? Stephen
  20. The behind the scenes views of Barrow Street are very impressive. I look forward to seeing moving pictures of the operations. Stephen
  21. Athlone GSWR.

    They obviously never considered a standalone railway centre like at Quainton Road or Chappel and Wakes Colne, both of which survive without a mainline connection despite their close proximity. Stephen

    Would it be fair to say that the ‘authorities’ in the UK have been more responsive to railway preservation than their opposite numbers in Ireland. Both WISRA and GSRPS both offered much but both eventually failed because they couldn’t turn their aspirations into reality. Let’s hope that the Connemara project succeeds. Stephen
  24. It looks very good. Stephen
  25. Hands up those who remember what day it is! Stephen
