  1. They look the DB’s. You lovely people. Stephen
  2. C/201 class in its many guises and liveries. Stephen
  3. Wasn’t the third class 80 set used on the reintroduced Dublin-Maynooth service? Stephen
  4. Or what about Waterford North with five routes and eight platforms. Stephen
  5. Can only agree with the comments immediately above. Stephen
  6. One of many excellent histories of the railways Ireland. Thoroughly recommended as a read. Stephen
  7. When she had her overhaul at Tuam, she received a new boiler courtesy of the SVR. Stephen
  8. To anyone involved in the early of getting a heritage railway off the ground, these photos evoke powerful memories. Lovely to see. Stephen
  9. A lovely video. There’s an interesting reference to the role of the Stormont government in the closure programme of the 1950’s. It wasn’t interested in anything outside of the six counties, very inward looking. I’m not sure if that view has changed in some parts of unionism. Apologies if I have strayed into a no-go area but it was part of the video. Stephen
  10. Sold out. Stephen

    NEW 00 WORKS J15

    On their website is the following announcement: Breaking announcement 30 July 2023. Due to high demand we will be doing another batch of GSR/CIE Class 101 locomotives. Taking orders now. Wow. Stephen
  12. We need all modes of transport but working together than against each other. Stephen
  13. I thought for a moment that Kirley had returned to this forum. No, just someone bringing to our attention his YouTube channel. Better than nothing I suppose. Stephen
  14. That is quite some report that Ove Arup has produced, including some completely new lengths of railway. There are some interesting omissions, the obvious one being Enniskillen and it’s hinterland. Stephen

    NEW 00 WORKS J15

    If you look on the home page of their website, you’ll see they are producing three further versions, one with the Z boiler and two with the original boiler. Stephen

    NEW 00 WORKS J15

    There is a review in the latest issue of Railway Modeller. It makes good reading. Stephen
  17. So, apparently, has mine. Stephen
  18. Surely it’s a new freight flow by rail. Stephen
  19. Condolences to you and your family on your loss. He was a fine modeller. Stephen
  20. I didn’t realise they were available now. I hadcthe idea that we were looking much later this year. I must get my order in. Looks stunning by the way. Stephen
  21. What’s the origin of the J15? It’s obviously not an 00 Works J15. Stephen
  22. More than a few years ago Ballyconnell Road was at Railwells and, just like Leslie, I spent most of my time watching it. It may be small but it is beautifully engineered and, most importantly, operated like the real thing. In particular, there is a lot of shunting of freight trains, something that is missing from many exhibits. Stephen
  23. The CIE rebuild of 1950’s stock as per the JM Design overlays. Stephen
  24. Dreams do come true. Stephen
