  1. I’ve had both surgery and radiotherapy as part of cancer treatment but chemo is in a different league. Keep strong and you’ll come out the other side. My very best wishes. Stephen
  2. Weren’t there plans to use it on the Loughrea branch? Stephen
  3. It’s nice to see a reasonable length freight train running on a model railway. Stephen
  4. That’s very sad news as I have nothing but praise for what you have produced. Please find a way to continue producing such fine models, which are much in demand. Stephen
  5. He was a modeller extraordinaire and will be sadly missed. His prose was very readable. Stephen
  6. Their first non modern image wagon and it’s a southern wagon. Brilliant. Stephen
  7. If the Cork city railway had been elevated rather than at ground level, there’s no telling what might have happened, all sorts of connecting services with maybe the west Cork lines staying open. Oh, the power of imagination. Stephen
  8. I think the link will explain everything. Happy reading. Stephen
  9. A combination of home and starter signals. Stephen

    Customs & VAT

    It’s the inconsistency that gets me. The first time I bought from John in NZ, I had to pay a whole load of import, for want of a better expression, but the second time there was nothing to pay. Either way, the models were worth the wait. Thanks John. Stephen
  11. Yes, it was the photographer I was referring to as Mr Wright. He appears on his own layout Little Bytham complete with camera. Stephen
  12. What’s the carriage immediately behind 372? Stephen
  13. Are you thinking of a certain Mr Wright? Stephen
  14. Andy Cundick has a very evocative model of Courtmacsherry. Well worth seeing. Stephen
  15. Tell us more about the Courtmacsherry heritage railway. Stephen

    Speaking as a layman, the economics of rail operation are always very different to those of road operation. Privatisation in the UK did not appear to improve matters, although there have been increases in both passenger and freight traffic. Stephen
  17. The broadside view of 107 in black and white reminds me very much of Wainwright’s P class on the SECR. Stephen
  18. A good advert for ‘less is more’. Stephen
  19. They even managed to squeeze in a toilet compartment. Stephen
