  1. They were lovely looking machines for their time. Stephen
  2. 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
  3. Bet get my order in soon. Stephen
  4. Captivating. Stephen
  5. 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
  6. Tuam looking north, I believe. Stephen
  7. Spot on. Stephen
  8. A fine looking model. Stephen
  9. Would this be the right forum to keep us updated on progress? Stephen
  10. Now, is this going to form part of a depiction of Omagh goods yard or just a stand-alone model? Stephen
  11. They look a fine pair! Stephen
  12. 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
  13. Is it too much to hope that there will be run of the dolomite version at some point? Stephen
  14. Just watched it on catch-up, absolutely fascinating and full of how not to do things with the benefit of hindsight. Stephen
  15. Thanks for relaying that info from Wexford St. Just what I wanted to know. Stephen
  16. They certainly look the DB’s. Did the elderly gent give any indication of what liveries when. Stephen
  17. I always wondered what happened to layouts when they were retired from the exhibition circuit - now I know. Look forward to reading more about it. Stephen
  18. Have you tried looking on YouTube? Stephen
  19. We're between Cork and Waterford, so more correctly the south of Ireland. Other than that I completely agree. Stephen
  20. It very much has the look of Dungarvan now. Stephen
  21. Interesting discussion going on elsewhere about IE sseking additional rolling stock https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/141841-irish-rail-puts-out-tender-for-pre-owned-dmu-stock/
  22. I must profess my lack of knowledge here but did Omagh have a loco shed and could it have been a stationary boiler? Stephen
  23. It was a delight to see it at Warley, together with Arigna Town. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a small, working turntable as the one at Clurtmacsherry. Stephen
  24. Which oil wagons were used for the oil traffic between Cork and Ballinacourty? Stephen
  25. Looking very good. I particularly like the trestles. Stephen
