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

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

Ernies Massive Irish 1930's to 2005 Photo Archive

It is a lovely scene that the photographer has captured so well. Stephen -
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

Although I’ve not seen it in the flesh, the photos make it look quite delightful. Stephen

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

They must be doing something right. Stephen

Some lovely stuff there. So many similarities with what goes on in the UK but with significant differences, particularly the amount of propelling and reversing that goes on with service trains. Further on I came across one featuring emergency, single track working at Limerick Junction. Stephen -

I’ve just opened Hattons email with their update on the MM121’s, glorious news indeed. Seems like my savings plan will end up in credit if the price doesn’t rise too much! Stephen

Any news on the announcement? Stephen -
Some lovely shots of 45 wagon beet trains - impressive. Stephen

Just to report the safe arrival today of a pair of CIE era ballast brakes in the wilds of south Worcestershire. What a pair of beauts. Stephen

Looking good. Stephen

Very good issue of the Journal. Stephen

They were lovely looking machines for their time. Stephen

It still makes a reasonable representation of the early ‘50’s SO. I hadn’t measured that closely but I’ll take your word for the dimensional irregularities. Is it almost a case that it would be ok in a rake of the same but put it against a more accurate model and the faults are accentuated? I wonder why the dimensions were so far out. When Trix used to make British based models, they used a scale of 3.8mm to the foot. Again, who knows why unless it was so that they could be used alongside HO models. Stephen
