  1. Their first non modern image wagon and it’s a southern wagon. Brilliant. Stephen
  2. The new signal box looks the db’s. Stephen
  3. 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
  4. I think the link will explain everything. Happy reading. Stephen
  5. A combination of home and starter signals. Stephen
  6. StevieB

    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
  7. Yes, it was the photographer I was referring to as Mr Wright. He appears on his own layout Little Bytham complete with camera. Stephen
  8. What’s the carriage immediately behind 372? Stephen
  9. Are you thinking of a certain Mr Wright? Stephen
  10. Andy Cundick has a very evocative model of Courtmacsherry. Well worth seeing. Stephen
  11. Tell us more about the Courtmacsherry heritage railway. Stephen

    IRM Fert Wagon

    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
  13. Lovely models. Stephen
  14. The broadside view of 107 in black and white reminds me very much of Wainwright’s P class on the SECR. Stephen
  15. Different view of Claremorris. Stephen
  16. A good advert for ‘less is more’. Stephen
  17. They even managed to squeeze in a toilet compartment. Stephen
  18. A lovely piece of work. Stephen
  19. Looks very nice, thanks. Stephen
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. I meant third rail in the sense that we already have DART and LUAS, so the Metro becomes the third! Stephen
  23. Any photos of your Bandon tank anywhere to hand? Stephen
  24. 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
