British locos and stock that can be disguised as Irish
LNERW1 replied to Westcorkrailway's topic in Irish Models
Ok, lads, here's a new one that I definitely didn't steal from the thread on Casino Model Railway Museum, a Class 165 'Turbo' as a 29000. Doesn't look perfect, but it works. IMO a 170 might work better though. This obviously doesn't take into account carriage lengths, so I'll leave that to the smart people on here. -
I was wondering when 29000s got a bladder...

Porter's trolley- not easily scratchbuilt but passable representations can be found in the bags of small detailing pieces that come with Hornby snap-together buildings, and if you just give them a quick coat of green or brown paint they should look fine. Metcalfe makes laser-cut bench kits, with a pack of 4 available for less than a fiver IIRC. If you don't want to buy either, I have a few of each I could send you.

JHB, you are an encyclopaedia. Thank you. -
We’ll see…
-
No clue. Probably just glad of some Transatlantic promotion…
-
How long have you been waiting to make that joke?
-
From what I've heard, under very dodgy circumstances too. Basically everyone I've seen mention it has said they had unfulfilled pre-order(s).
-
Interested, but saving up from summer jobs.
-
Sorry, should have added- that model of controller is one of the most unreliable, poorly made products I've ever used, but the user experience is fine so I would be interested in getting another one, I'd just be careful with it this time!
-
By modifications I mean DCC and Kadee couplings. Thanks.

Don’t forget the “adult content creator” who not only flashed the portal causing the final impetus for it to be shut down, but then made a TikTok saying she believed the people of Ireland “deserved to see her lovely potatoes”. On the NYC side. So it wasn’t just us, but I have to admit the 8-year-old giving New York the middle finger was a legend.

As nobody seems to be particularly invested in the tangent, let me just bring the conversation back to its initial focus as well as just bringing it back up to the surface so it’s not forgotten. -
Isn’t that literally @Horsetan’s signature? I’m on mobile at the moment so can’t check.
-
Content deleted, posted in wrong topic, apologies.
-
Above post is unclear- are you saying it has been sold? If not, any reason for modifications and does the controller pictured work?
-
Ah go on, buy it… Seriously though, the loco looks to be recently overhauled with modern controls, touchscreens, etc. Hope they find a good home.
-
This is great to hear, the C&L are doing more than anyone to preserve BnM’s railway history. Not only that, they have so many preserved vehicles that they could open an entire transport museum. The top loco appears to be a Wagonmaster, the bottom a rebuilt one. Went to the C&L just a couple of weeks ago.
-
I thought I already had. Let me fix that...
-
Run out of bricks now! Will post picture(s) of ~5m of track sown so far. Any questions/suggestions/criticisms? If you feel there's any obvious problems then please let me know. Thanks.
-
Just two quick thread plugs- BnM preservation as I’m trying to organise a trip, and Ardree Quay because I need positive interaction to motivate me to work on it. Thanks!
-
Having been onsite before, the engines’ batteries have been removed and their coolant, oil, fuel, etc. tanks have been drained, so I doubt BnM would be rushing to play trains for us. I agree, should be great if we can get enough people interested, anyone please rate the thread five stars to try and get it to as many interested people as possible. Thanks!
-
Is the smoke oil working?
-
Ok, here are some pictures of the new roadbed, although it is incomplete as 9mm ply still needs to be added between the bricks and track, as well as ballast.
-
Again, any members in or near Laois, the Coolnamona trip is still going ahead of there’s enough people, please do express interest here. Even if you don’t live near Laois, could schedule it for the afternoon to allow people to travel. There’s also a good few motorway hotels only around 1km from the site, so if staying overnight is more convenient for most the trip can happen earlier.
