    I'm working on the BCK version using old Hornby CKD coaches. Anyone old enough to remember them? I take the view that it's easier to cut through individual carriage walls, rather than a complete body. Stephen

    I've been able to compare the two views because my iPhone has had it for some time now. I have to say I find the old view more user friendly, certainly for one of mature years. Stephen

    Mine is complete and a good read to boot. Stephen

    According the latest IRRS Journal, IE is seeking to 're-power' the 201 class and refurbish the 2700 class. With regard to the 201's, this is the second exercise by IE to achieve considerable improvements to the locos. The refurbishment of the 2700 class comes after attempts to sell off the class came to nothing. Stephen

    Electrification of the Maynooth and Kildare lines were always part of the overall DART expansion programme. There was no mention of DART underground, which was the way that the services were to be joined up. Does that imply electrification of the recently re-opened Heuston to Connolly line, DART overground! Stephen

    Those look very good - any chance they will be available commercially? Stephen

    To all those who offered help in my hour of need I say a big thank you. The answer was to change from an iMac to an iPad - simple! Stephen

    I'm assuming you're going to add a section to the bodywork and the shorten the verandah by the same amount. Stephen

    All I can say is that I thought I was adding photos. I'll have to have another go. Stephen

    Yes I know and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. I thought that I had followed Boskonay's excellent tutorial on adding photos but it seems not. Modern technology is wonderful until it gets the better of you. PM me if you to know any more in the meantime. Stephen

    I'm obviously missing a trick re uploading photos. I've done it successfully in the past but what I need a refresher's guide. Many thanks. Stephen

    I'm having trouble uploading photos to accompany my advert - I know it's simple but I just need a nudge in the right direction. Many thanks. Stephen

    Thanks for that bit of information - I was beginning to think that the gremlins had struck again - keep up the excellent work. Stephen

    The three pack of ballast wagons went for £89, approx €101. Quite how he can afford to sell at such a discount. Stephen

    There's a six page article about this in the current issue of The Railway Magazine - a very good read on a sad topic. Stephen

    I picked up a copy of the 1960 reprint of the 1949 edition of the Ian Allan ABC of Irish Locomotives the other day in Cheltenham Model Centre, for a mere £2.50. What a little gem, packed full of goodies. One thing I learnt was that the GNRI effectively ran the BCDR, being in charge of both traffic and engineering matters. Stephen

    A lovely collection of photos that evoke memories of when we were young, even though I have no firsthand experience of Irish railways then, or now for that matter. This has made me realise that my plans to reproduce trains in the 70s, 80s and 90s are overambitious, so my collection of IR/IE 071's, 141/181/s, 201's and Cravens is open to offers so that I can concentrate on the 70's when the old order was coming to an end and the new was just beginning.
