I find Kernow Models very accommodating when I have used them. Very personable service.

I know I am a bit late to this thread but just found this and it brought back memories of the last time I was there with my father. In the video you can actually see some LIMA CIE coaches. How I wanted one of them!!!!!! https://www.rte.ie/archives/2020/1120/1179432-model-railway-kits/

Could.tbey not lick up an undamaged one? Lol

Well saved! Pity we have no railway museum to donate items too.

Can't believe the asking price for a simple rail chair https://touch.adverts.ie/memorabilia/1921-railway-tie/22134780

Thanks for confirming this.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Would anyone have information on: 1) the development of the design of railway chairs 2) Names of suppliers of these over the decades (were most bought from the UK?) Thanks Oops sorry meant to post in general chat, can moderators please move?

Strange it's not in the middle picture. Some of the DSER chairs were still in situ from 1911 - 1918.

Would anyone know when the crossing bridge was installed and then removed from Rosbercon station (New Ross)? Any info on the turntable would also be appreciated.

Why were different types of coaches in the same pack? I doubt a factory error.

Could the CIE and IR wagons be mixed? Was there a cross over period when they might have co-existed?

Great question. A little disappointing when there are insufficient numbers to complete a rake. I would happily buy a pack f as I would extra packs of the ferts, gypsum and grey bubbles. I hope if the lads ever do the sugar beet wagons there will be at least 15 avaiable.

Think I got the last IR pack, my Xmas present to myself. Would also have loved to hear an announcement on coaching stock.

Back to the hydraulic turntable, found an image of a Class 121 powering one in Dublin 1964. Interesting. Can be seen at 30 seconds in:

has anyone had difficulty receiving the 10% discount on the site?

The packs were commissioned by Marks Models as Bachmann were doing a run of the UK version. It was (and is) Marks Models intention, I believe, to commission extra packs without generators to complete the rake but it is dependant on Bachmann doing another run. I had asked about these only the other week as like many here would love to complete a prototypical rake.

Any chance of doing maybe 12 differently numbered wagons in this run?

Happy to wait. Knowing the effort you guys put in, happy knowing they will be stunning.

As are mine lol

Paddy Murphy has achieved the impossible with significant financial risk to himself. Having to spread out production over years with coaches and locomotives arriving in different years he had to rely on the hope that buyers would hang-in there to build their collections. We did and were rewarded with quality and levels of detail that put the big producers to shame. His original cooperation with Llma and Bachman proved that demand existed. Lima's willingness to do short runs was the start of an economic model that demonstrated the viability of meeting that demand. Paddy has single-handedly changed the modelling scene in Ireland working with modellers at shows to perfect his models using the best technology available, even risking production in the emerging Chinese manufacturing centres to maximise the quality / price equation. Paddy, thank you for all you have done, the chances you have taken and the joy you have given to so many of us. You created the new era of the rivet counter in terms of Irish railway modelling feeding the need for accuracy and well running models. These will be sought after for years to come and rightly so.

Hi guys, I am looking for a copy of a Class 121 in grey livery on the bridge in Kilmacthomas pulling a short goods train. Can't find it in my archives and it's really annoying me. Would any of you have a copy?
