It has taken a long time to get to this stage but finally started the painting
-
thanks for the offer George , I saw your message too late though and got some paint this morning . You should put them up for sale as the MIR kits seem to be available again .
-
Thanks guys.
-
thanks Boskonay

does anybody know what the colour of the bogie cement tank should be ? white or cream ?
-
I wonder if his tool box exists !!
-
I remember reading an article by FRY in the Railway modeller magazine ( in the IRRS library - can't remember the year) . He made it clear that he could not get any RTR Irish stuff and he had to make it all himself . The astonishing thing is the results he got with the tools available at the time.

I remember seeing it on the track in the glass case in the castle and asking myself did it , could it ,actually run ? At the time I was reading some of the little information that exists about Lartigue himself.
-
great photos JHB . The Lartigue is important. In general , is it reasonable to assume Fry's models are accurate and could be relied on in the absence of drawings and photos of older trains , which he may have seen first hand ?
-
I think the problem is remit. The display in the castle purported to do 2 things . 1. show off Fry's models - the Casino display now does this very well. 2. Tell the story of Irish railways using models - this is a much bigger challenge . It should be done in a national transport museum , but that is another argument........... looking forward to seeing the Lartigue in the Casino.
-
made it to Malahide this morning to see it . It is smaller than the display in the castle . Got a bit dizzy admiring 800 - because it is on a revolving shelf ! The museum tells the story of Cyril Fry very well . His models are fabulous. The OO layout is beautifully done . well done to all involved .
-
looks great ! Is the Lartigue model on display ?
-
Hello All , it's been a long time but I finally restarted work on these.
-
Hello folks , is there any planned release date for the IRM weedspray train ?
-
fantastic

Hello Mayner , the parcel arrived this morning in good order. The postman did not demand any import tax. The kit looks so good it seems a shame to spoil it by attempting to assemble it ! Next on the wish list are some MGWR 6 wheelers to go with it . Many thanks , Brian.

Philip Dix in Dublin sell a lot of small tools for the jewellery trade which would also be of interest http://www.dixequipment.com/
-
looks great john , I would be interested in one . I think it would be best to get the parts you mention direct form the uk . ( before Brexit !! )
-
thanks Hurricanemk1c.

Hi folks , anyone got RAL numbers for painting IE autoballasters , specifically the Yellow.
-
might be better than the new bus lanes proposed for Dublin. Think of all the gardens which would be saved !
