    Too late, they've all sold out, so unless enough of us ask them nicely to do a second run, that's it, no more. Stephen

    Along with the loss of access to an incredible amount of historical items - Irish Railfans News to name just one. Stephen

    There seems to be some silly money being bid on eBay at present http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R5.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xmurp.TRS0&_nkw=murphy+models&_sacat=0. Stephen

    Some fine models of goods stock here. Stephen

    I agree with John that the L1 is a good starting point for producing any of the larger GSWR/GSR 4-4-0's. A number of people have made good representations over the years. The main drawback is that the loco is too long but shortening it is a major undertaking involving a new chassis. If you're going to that amount of trouble, then there are always the smaller wheeled versions, the 333 and 342 classes. Incidentally, there always seems to be a fair number of L1's for sale on eBay.

    I must be missing something here but isn't 'saying 120 euros' quoting a price as per forum rules? Stephen

    Leo What chassis did you put under your 4w coach? Stephen

    Patrick The Dapol GWR signals look very good and add the finishing touch. Stephen

    Any possibility of a fourth triple pack of ballast wagons, please? Stephen

    The H vans really look the part - I must get some in the new year. Stephen

    Castle Rackrent also appeared in Model Railway Journal No 202 under the title Fair Day at Moygraney - another excellent read. Stephen

    DJ Models posted the following in rmweb http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/103982-irish-railway-models-new-rtr-oo-gauge-ballastmineral-hopper/page-2. It looks like the parting of the ways was amicable. We have to hope that IRM can pick up where DJM left off. Stephen

    Richard Chown has written several times in the model railway press about the development of Castle Rackrent into a much bigger scheme of things. The one I particularly remember was the Castle Rackrent, Moygraney and Pacific in the Railway Modeller. I still have a read every now and again. Stephen

    The second Lissadell looks quite delightful - I guess you had to give her back. Stephen

    Did a drawing of the 6w heating van materialise? Stephen

    The more observant of us will have noticed a brake van at each end of the train - unusual when you are conditioned to the modern scene with fully fitted freights. Stephen

    To me, the highlight was the G scale Hambledon Valley Railway - not very often you come across a live steam layout indoors - quite delightful, not least because the couplings were playing up and it needed a bit of audience participation. Stephen

    Patrick Another delightful scene - the H vans really look the part. Stephen

    Leslie Any chance that you will be bringing along some of your kits for sale. I will be coming on the Sunday and I would be particularly interested in the Bulleid open wagon and the H van. Many thanks. Stephen

    Tis the same the world over. It's so much easier to justify spending vast sums of money of road infrastructure rather than on the railway equivalent. Stephen

    Nice to see some more photos of this very realistic representation of the Cork to Waterford line, albeit not the one actually built. Stephen

    It will be no different in the UK and the rest of Europe. It has all to do with taking a risk based approach to the way the business is run. I agree with all the comments made, but the law is the law. Stephen
  23. StevieB
    Other factors favouring freight to and from Ballina must include such as the lack of motorways in that part of the country and the sheer length of the journeys involved. Stephen

    A joy to behold - oh that such models were readily available RTR, they'd sell like hot cakes. Stephen

    Hi If you google Ballyconnell Road model railway and then select 'images', you will see it in all its glory and detail - it is a beautiful piece of work, locos, rolling stock and scenery - there's even a working road. Stephen
