The wikipedia page for the ITG suggested something different: "The group is also building a museum at Moyasta on the West Clare Railway to hold some of their locomotives. At present four locomotives, A3R, 124, 152, and 190 are located in Moyasta." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Traction_Group#External_links

Is it ITG or Jackie Whelan looking to create the museum? What is the relationship between them does anyone know? https://clarechampion.ie/wheels-turning-for-west-clare-railway-expansion/

Not any more. Some are available though such as from: http://models11.com/Murphy Models

WOW am tempted to offload my few if that is the price they achieve. I wonder how much a baby gm and a rake of cravens would go for?

If you go into Facebook and search 'Class 121 Niall Redmond' you will be brought to his page with the original photo @DiveController

Interestingly, the lamp I picked up was red with the slit at the back so I wonder was it originally a signal lamp used as a last minute spare for a level crossing?

Really helpful, thanks.

Good morning all, Can someone provide some information on the different types of level crossing / signal lamps? I have seen similar lamps to the one shown, painted red (suggesting used on level crossing sin the south east) but of two different types: 1) Type as shown painted red with two lenses 2) Same cast body type but one lens and on the back a rectangular glassed section as seen in these second photo. My questions are: a) were different types of lamps used for signals and level crossings? b) what colour were the lenses on level crossings? c) how often would the reservoirs of paraffin have to be refilled? d) if the single lens lamp is for signals, what way did they point (bullseye towards the coloured glass in the arm?) Thanks

Happy Birthday!

For those who may be down in Waterford, the Waterford Suir Valley Railway is back running with the rolling stock in a new livery. More importantly the shop now sells 99s! Booking is now online with new safety precautions for staff and visitors. Some weed spraying is needed!

Wonder what it was doing in Wexford unless working Wexford to Rosslare for ferry traffic?

Cheers. Any idea where I could find more info? It would have been in the late 1880 early 1890s? They had a long life span! Were they for mixed traffic?

Hi guys, This photo is for sale on eBay and says it is a GSR loco at Wexford. Can anyone identify the type of loco and rough date? Might it be a GSWR E3 0-4-4?

Hi guys, I know there has been discussion about engines being changed on the 121s Can some more knowledgeable member tell me which sound DCC chip is suitable for each of the 121s becoming available? Thanks

George, I was the exact same, was so disappointed after the amazing Cravens and the other MK 2s.

Any EGVs in the box?

Looks like the twin of mine! One is enough for me lol I hope they were removed by Irish rail and not swiped by opportunists. Given the number of level crossings on the Waterford Rosslare line there must dozens of them out there.

It's interesting if you look at the level crossings of the Waterford to Rosslare line on google street view, shoes them in place on the gates but took a spin out this evening and all are gone now. I wonder what happened to them?

Hi guys, I received an early birthday present! I was given a level crossing lamp including burner, and bracket, all in relatively good condition. It has come with a blue lens which I presume was not the original. and was a replacement by a previous owner. Does anyone know where I can source a replacement lens? I presume they were always red? Advice on fitting it would also be appreciated. Was a standard linseed putty used? The lamp is almost identical to this one on the Wonderer's photo.except in red. It has the same two air slits

Really stunning! Great work.

Wow, perfection

Looks excellent! Is the IR logo on the side a little high?

Phew, Because we now expect perfection! You have set the bar so high. The head lamp is a little damaged too.

Looks great. Was there a small problem with the masking for the yellow paint?
