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
-
Am I right in thinking that the UTA had to buy the NCC from the railway executive? Stephen
-
Very nice and to think that Leslie might have this on his radar. Stephen
-
I always thought the prototype was a very attractive loco, albeit made in quantities of one! Stephen
-
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

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
-
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

Both of them froze, the first part-way through and the second never got going. Otherwise, excellent. Stephen

They were that bad, then. Stephen -

Georgeconna also had one for sale on eBay recently. Stephen -
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

Do you add brass wheel bearings or are they free running enough without? Stephen

The behind the scenes views of Barrow Street are very impressive. I look forward to seeing moving pictures of the operations. Stephen

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

New 20ft container and skeleton from Provincial Wagons
StevieB replied to leslie10646's topic in News
It looks very good. Stephen -
Hands up those who remember what day it is! Stephen

Looking very good David. Stephen

Earlier on there was reference to David Malone’s Cliffoney, a presumed MGWR line from Sligo to Bundoran, an alternative to a GNR(I) line from Bundoran to Sligo. Apart from some pieces in Rail Model Digest and Irish Railway Modelling, I can find no other references to it anywhere else. Can anyone help? Stephen
-
Have a look at the Colm Creedon collection on corklocalstudies.ie. You’ll find a very personal record by a true enthusiast. Stephen
-
There is an American 00 scale, which utilises a track gauge of 19mm. If that had been adopted over here,rather than 16.5mm, there would have no great need for EM/P4. Stephen
-
Thanks guys. Stephen
-
Whose numbers did you use for the re-numbering exercise? I have a number of 141/181’s awaiting to go through this exercise. Stephen
-
Is that Gort? Stephen
