    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

    Leslie was going to make an announcement about two kits, one his first non-wagon kit and the other a loco. 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

    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

    Bet get my order in soon. Stephen

    Captivating. Stephen

    I had thought of doing this to an old Mainline Railways BR SO. They are still lovely models, even if the windows do appear a tad on the small side. Anyway, removing the central doors reduces the body length to a scale 60’ 9”, 9”3mm short. Stephen

    Tuam looking north, I believe. Stephen

    Spot on. Stephen

    A fine looking model. Stephen

    Would this be the right forum to keep us updated on progress? Stephen

    Now, is this going to form part of a depiction of Omagh goods yard or just a stand-alone model? Stephen

    They look a fine pair! Stephen

    There’s a lovely article in the March 2019 Railway Magazine about the Connemara Railway Project and the work being undertaken at the former Maam Cross station. To anyone who has been involved in railway preservation project, especially in its early years, it will bring back happy memories. Good luck to them. Stephen

    Is it too much to hope that there will be run of the dolomite version at some point? Stephen
