Just been reading through the threads, came across the "15mm Tralee & Dingle loco". No need to pay £2500 for one, build your own! This Hunslett I built from plywood & cardboard, bits of scrap brass, toothpaste tube for strapping. The chassis is made up from a couple of household radiator brackets. Never chuck anything that looks useful away. Tis no great thing of beauty, but mine own. (William Shakespear said this, when the pi-- was taken out of His scratch-building). Regards Ken

Well, thanks to all for the warm welcome. The CVR had six of these 0-4-2Ts, bought from Sharp Stewart loco builders. A seventh similar looking beast, 0-4-4T this time, from Hudswell Clarke, with a more traditional bunker came later. The CVR had some wonderful Railmotors as well, well worth modelling. If you are really interested, get a copy of; The Irish Narrow Gauge, Volume Two, by Tom Ferris. Lots of info on the lines in the North.

Hello to all, any NG 16mm garden railway scratch builders? Here is a battery powered Clogher Valley loco I built some years ago. "Tis no great thing of beauty, but mine own". Regards Ken
