    Roy Jackson

    Some of you may know this already but Roy Jackson died recently. He was a phenomenal EM gauge modeller, best known for layouts such as High Dyke, Dunwich and, more recently, Retford. There’s more about him on RMweb. Stephen
  2. I don’t believe Roderick Bruce is asking anymore on eBay for the remaining ones unsold, just bringing them to a wider audience. Stephen
  3. Railway preservation doesn’t seem to come easily in Ireland, so we wish them well. Stephen
  4. It’s very nice to see progress. Stephen
  5. Have you tried running anything yet? Don’t forget to post videos when you do. Stephen
  6. Wow. Stephen
  7. The threesome of NIR big GM's has been on there some little while now, so snapped up is probably putting it a bit generously. Stephen
  8. Aren’t there plans for a new station at Waterford on the Rosslare side of the existing one? Stephen
  9. The annual show put on by DEMU, Diesel and Electric Modellers United. Stephne
  10. I came across recently. Does anyone have a photo showing the other side, please? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gsr+pullman+coaches&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sinv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjwv7CukpjiAhVQxIUKHVxoATkQ_AUoAnoECAwQAw&biw=1024&bih=666#imgrc=G6U9uJkCWjfkKM Stephen

    CMAT 2040

    Some good stuff proposed. Two points to clarify: 1) The electrification would be as per DART in terms of voltage, and 2) The light rail would be as per LUAS in terms of gauge. Stephen
  12. Coming on in leaps and bounds. Stephen
  13. Looking very impressive. Stephen
  14. Interesting. Stephen
  15. The Dean goods was very similar in that it was a simple design that worked very well. They outshone some of the very latest designs during tests undertaken by BR. Even the uptodate versions, J15a and J15b, failed to shine compared to their earlier siblings. Steohen
  16. The 3d printed ballast wagon body is a fair representation of the real thing, save for being too tall. For greater accuracy you need to take a horizontal section out of the body, at a guess something like 4mm. The same is true of the IFM magnesite wagons. I’ll have to do the same to them sometime in the future. Stephen
  17. People must be keen to pay those sorts of prices. Stephen
  18. Definitely looks interesting with track laid. Stephen
  19. Some good stuff there JHB, in particular the Youghal trains. Stephen
  20. Looks interesting. Stephen
  21. It is a lovely scene that the photographer has captured so well. Stephen
  22. Using Facebook, you have to be careful which kind of machine you use in order to get onto his store to make purchases. It’s ok using such as an iMac but my iPad doesn’t give me access to his store, very strange. I’m sure those more computer literate than me will understand why this is so. I agree with the comments that Tom is very good to deal with. Stephen
  23. Although I’ve not seen it in the flesh, the photos make it look quite delightful. Stephen
  24. There’s a photo of a D17 working the train in Pat Whitehouse’s Branch Line Album published by Ian Allan in, probably, the 1960’s. The caption describes it as one of the shortest branches in Eire and the passengers ride in the ‘sax whaler’! Stephen
  25. They must be doing something right. Stephen
