Wil they be using them in the future? What price were they looking for for either of the engines? I just hope it doesn’t turn into a situation similar to 5T in Tralee.

Hello all. I’ve been in Wales recently, on the Ffestiniog. I’ve been having a lovely time viewing their steam locomotives, which got me thinking about steam back home in Ireland. What has become of the two 3ft gauge steam locos at the giants causeway railway? I have never seen them in person, only in photos online. I Can’t seem to find much information about their current state, or why they’ve been left idle for so long? I might have heard that they were for sale, but nothing came about from the purchase. Can anyone inform me on their current situation, what they are doing now, and what is, if at all, planned for their future? Thanks all.

Hi all, I recently visited the Ulster transport museum, and have grown fond of their little narrow gauge peckett they’ve got on display. I am looking to model it for 009 scale. I am on this forum looking for diagrams and general tips for making a model. I have previously made resin printed kits from eBay and the like, but have never made a fully home built model of my own. Please send on any reference pictures or drawings of said loco. Thanks all. Pictures of the loco below. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ulster_Transport_Museum,_Cultra,_Peckett_Locomotive_No_2_of_British_Aluminium_Co,_Larne,_County_Antrim_(03).jpg

Hello all, I am new to the forum, and looking for a couple things… I am very interested in the Tralee and Dingle railway, and its locomotives. I have recently seen videos of 16mm scale live steam Tralee and Dingle locos made by John Campbell. Now, most of these videos range from 8-12 years old, leading me to believe that the channels they are on are no longer active, meaning my comments on said videos are pretty useless. I did some rooting around on Google, Facebook, all sorts of online platforms and I have found no traces of John Campbell or his models, except for a few old threads. Is anyone aware of how I can get into contact with John, or what details I could get about the models, eg price, availability, time to make, etc.. I would also be grateful to be informed of anywhere else I can get 16mm scale Irish locos? I may have seen a live steam Guinness brewery tramway loco floating around somewhere online.. Best regards —
