    How’s progress 4+ years on? Stephen

    What traffic are the redundant magnesite wagons being used for on the SDJR. Stephen

    Mine arrived today as well. Well worth the wait. Stephen

    It looks so at home. Stephen

    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

    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

    They’re the GWR Collett masquareding as SR Maunsell coaches. Stephen

    I’ve seen a photo of one converted to a dolomite wagon. Stephen

    A lovely representation of the prototype. Enjoy. Stephen

    Delightful as ever. Stephen

    That looks suspiciously like a Maunsell tender next to 174. Stephen

    That is the trouble these days, with so much good stuff being available, it wounds the wallet! Stephen

    Have you bought any of Mayner’s wagons? They are quite delightful. Stephen

    That’s what we like, underpromise and overperform. Customer service at its very best, you lovely people. Stephen

    Sorry to say but I don’t believe it’s a J15 because of the drop in the running plate front and rear. Stephen

    Can only agree with Noel’s comment. Stephen

    Lovely to see more of this delightful layout. Keep them coming, please, Patrick. Stephen

    Presumably wagons dropped off in the loop were attached to the branch train here for onward transmission down the branch and vice versa for traffic off the branch. There is also a siding alongside the loop. I wonder what was its purpose? It must have been a fascinating place to sit and watch train movements. Stephen

    It doesn’t seem enough to say that they are up to the usual standard. I guess I’ll just have to be patient. Stephen

    The UK version of the story about whether to keep diesel locos running or not revolves around how much power is taken from the battery to start the diesel engine. Apparently it would take many hours to recharge it. Sounds plausible but not a very green approach these days. Stephen

    A lovely bit of fiction. Stephen

    I think I’m correct in saying that, if the railway had been built between Bundoran and Sligo, as part of the original proposal to link Enniskillen and Sligo, there would have been no need for the SLNCR. A joint station in Sligo would have been served by three of Ireland’s railways, GSWR, MGWR and GNR. Just think of the modelling potential that would have been. We would need some more of Roderick Bruce’s lovely U’s and UG’s to provide the GNR train service, preferably the earlier versions. Stephen

    I’ve always had the mad idea about the Maunsell Society rebuilding one of their U’s into a K1a to relieve the chronic shortage of mainline steam in Ireland. Stephen
  24. StevieB
    Let’s hope so. Stephen
  25. StevieB
    Some good stuff there. Stephen
