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.

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’.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.
