  1. Hi all, Wondering if any have any drawings of rail stock
  2. Hi all, Im currently planning on building a layout and the way in building it and wondering if anyone has a diagram of the shed and maybe turntable, Im hoping to build connolly shed and its turntable as a first layout to junction off from my circuit of double track in my bedroom I also might document the journey here from building the shed to running locos up and down
  3. Here are his models if this comes handy for anyone, had it booked marked on google for ages, hope it helps http://www.studio-scale-models.com
  4. Also any idea where I could find books with drawings in them online and in person?
  5. Ive gotten weedspray set off him gonna buy another tanker wagon with the brown container soon he does some good bits
  6. Thanks so much for guiding me Would u happen to know what museums and 70s and 80s magazines have Irish railway diagrams too? Thank you Josh
  7. Thanks sm for the info and about the magazines and museums in the Uk would u happen to know whare i could source these? Josh
  8. Its beyond everyones expectations what mass stuff you've gotten, how did u get it all home and was there stuff u wish u brought back home that u saw but didnt?
  9. Amazing finds, just so curious where you found the carriage drawing laying abt
  10. its just a grey shell
  11. Thats unreal paul, you must of been in the central stores when u found those, was there and saw soem bits too like a ticket machine for parking ur cars(no change was in it), level crossing lights and a 22000 cab as a movie prop and boxes that said movie props ill send pics in
  12. Ur very good, appreciated, they were actually the best i could find at donegal when i went I get u with 'everywhere',but was curious more abt the steam locomotives as we had abt 98% of our steam locos from england
  13. Currently looking through, would u happen to know where to click to find these diagrams?
  14. i bought locomotives of the GNRI by nornam johnston aka: the blue bible MGWR by W E Shepherd DSER by Shepherd & Beesly The Dingle Train by Rowlands, Macgrath and Francis All with amazing drawings
  15. UPDATE ON CLONSILLA: So yesterday i went clonsilla as coolmine and castleknock have no staff at those stations and clonsilla had, i dont know the actual name of the job, lets call him the 'crossing man'. So I askedn him what @minister_of_hard_ship told me he told me the IE signs are stored in museums, i mentioned if inchicore would too? He said yes there too and they be worth thousands and held as relics in glass cases But a friend of mine said they went white with the slightest bit of sun and were all fucked into a skip due to their condition
  16. Completely reasonable i know people around my own age that ill ask and see as id love to sign up and keep this alive as a lot of clubs from IRRS to the RPSI are all older gentlemen and ofc if no one willing to step up and replace their roles, these places might sadly close for good
  17. Ill try it today thanks very much for the tip, point u made on FOI, id say they refuse as it might be older than 2008 as that is a limit they can only give for locomotive drawings yet they give out 071 drawings but unsure abt other stuff in general Also my local station coolmine doesnt really have staff around but ill try clonsilla as there is the fella who manually opens/closes the crossing Another whilst im here, there is an old white and orange stripe 'mind the gap' on one the pillars on platform 5 in connolly
  18. Its alright, but i do wonder what other benefits u do get being a member?
  19. Where would u have in mind to enqiure? and would FOIs work to get details on the old signs?
  20. Who and what department in irish rail be in charge of the old signs?
  21. Wonder if they might buy 2, one set in the points and plug and then other in IE 'commuter'
  22. Yes it looked to be 4 tracks from the OS maps i was looking at ill send the link of it below: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=14.6&lat=51.89230&lon=-8.48058&layers=6&b=GoogleSat&o=100
  23. Honestly im not fussy at all i go for even NCC too Also how much is IRRS membership yearly
