  1. 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
  3. The broadside view of 107 in black and white reminds me very much of Wainwright’s P class on the SECR. Stephen
  4. A good advert for ‘less is more’. Stephen
  5. They even managed to squeeze in a toilet compartment. Stephen
  6. Tom Brady of IFM still does produce stuff if you ask him nicely. He does have a Facebook page and there is almost always something of his on eBay. I recently bought two palvans from him. They fill a gap in the market Stephen
  7. So, how do we define the Tyneside and Manchester Metros? On Tyneside the network is a combination of former BR routes and new lengths of tunnel, while in Manchester the network is a combination of former BR routes and on street running. Stephen
  8. I meant third rail in the sense that we already have DART and LUAS, so the Metro becomes the third! Stephen
  9. Any photos of your Bandon tank anywhere to hand? Stephen
  10. Nice video. The obvious question is why not extend the existing LUAS or heavy rail suburban system rather than have a new,third rail based system? Stephen
  11. What traffic are the redundant magnesite wagons being used for on the SDJR. Stephen
  12. Mine arrived today as well. Well worth the wait. Stephen
  13. Blame it all on the politicians for giving in to pressure to hold a referendum, the leaving the EU and finally negotiating a diabolical trade deal. Sorry if that goes against the rules of the forum but the downside of Brexit keeps being brought up. Stephen
  14. For those of us living in the UK, they’ll arrive when they arrive. Why you may ask? Brexit and the absolute mess made of new trading arrangements made by our politicians. Rant over, wait continues. Stephen
  15. They’re the GWR Collett masquareding as SR Maunsell coaches. Stephen
  16. I’ve seen a photo of one converted to a dolomite wagon. Stephen
  17. A lovely representation of the prototype. Enjoy. Stephen
