Any indication of price? Stephen

Aerial photos are very helpful to the modeller - they give an added dimension that is missing from maps, much as I love these. Stephen

The photo of the 8.10 Westport to Dublin in the attachment is a personal favourite of mine. The obvious question is whether it is or an AEC railcar plus driving trailer or a two car AEC railcar set. Stephen

Nostalgia - Hornby Dublo - east meets west
StevieB replied to Noel's topic in British Outline Modelling
The stories of Mainline, Airfix, Replica, Dapol, Hornby and Bachmann are even more involved than the one you have just related, bits begin either sold off or metamorphosing into a new form! Stephen -
Has someone been having a bad day? Stephen

One of the three Mk3 coaches preserved by the ITG is 6402, the Cafe Bar converted from a BR Mk3 to run with push pull sets on the Heuston-Waterford service. Was it the only and, if so, why 6402 and not 6401? Stephen

Things are looking up for modellers of the Irish scene - MM Cravens and mk2d's, IFM Park Royals and laminates, Silver Fox mk3 push pulls and JM Design 1950's coach sides, to mention just a few. Stephen

Thanks for that Patrick. After the introduction of liner trains, there was a daily one for a while between Waterford and Wexford - any idea of the times in and out of Waterford, please? Step[hen

The difference in length between the class A and B tank barrels would have been due to the density of the liquid carried, A's carrying less dense products. I wonder, therefore, whether the oil wagons in the oil and magnesite consists between Cork and Ballinacourty would have been A or B? Many thanks. Stephen

In the past I found it easier to throw away Lima coach bogies and start again, including some re-profiling of the underside of the underframe. Stephen

Before the re-organisation of freight services in the 1970's, there was a daily Waterford-Wexford train departing Waterford 8.30am. Does anyone have a time of return to Waterford, please? Stephen

My Lima 201's run on all Peco code 75 track without any problem - can't speak about coaches and wagons though. Merry Christmas to all on the forum. Stephen

Both my points and locos are straight out of the box. Stephen

My MM071's and 141/181's run beautifully through Peco code 75 pointwork, as do my BR outline N's. Stephen
-
One of the things that Lima were always well known for was the relative coarseness of their wheels. However, I am pleasantly surprised at how well my two Lima 201's run through Peco code 75 pointwork - no hesitation whatsoever. Stephen

Hi Paudie You've clearly got a lot you want to get rid of - could be interested in the Mk2's. Stephen
-
Look forward to that. Stephen

Despite the 51 years since she lasted steamed, her boiler must have been in good nick! Congratulations. Stephen

Does anyone have information about the alterations done to the two mk2b FK's to produce buffet/snack cars 4401/2? There is a photos on the VCT website but it isn't very clear whether the windows that were filled in were on the corridor side or not. Many thanks. Stephen
-
Thanks for that. Did it arrive in platform 3/4 and then shunt to the bay or did it arrive in the bay? Many thanks. Stephen

I was very interested in the photo of FO 1146. It is basically a first class version of the 1449-1496 series of SO. The drawings I have of this coach show it having two toilet windows per side but photos show it with either one and two windows per side. Was there any rhyme or reason for the different versions. Stephen

The morning train from Limerick arrived at Waterford around midday but did not depart for Rosslare until some 5 hours later. During that time where was it, in the through platforms 3/4 or the bays 5/6? Stephen

Question re CIE Coaching Stock ( Mk2A etc)
StevieB replied to Junctionmad's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
When IR rebuilt the ex BR coaches they acquired from Vic Berry, were they all laid out as open coaches? I ask because two of them were mk2a FK's and I wondered how they dealt with the middle door on the corridor side. In order to fit it in, the adjacent windows were in a slightly different position to all the others. Maybe they just blocked it up! Stephen
