    I'm almost certain that 230 had the foot holes for a time when she was repainted in Enterprise colors, and as you have said she did have them plated over at a later date. 203 was in Inchicore in Sep 2006, she had the foot holes blanked over and the grilles in undercoat when she was released back into traffic. I can only presume that they had intended to repaint her at that time, however for reasons unknown to me she was back on the rails for a short while in that condition. Rich,

    She carried the filler pieces undercoated and both the grilles on each side were in undercoat for a while before she was repainted in the newer orange livery. I think it would make a nice project on the model. Although you would be restricting the model to a small time period. Rich,

    Good news that there will be MK11 Composite and Super Standard coaches albeit in the Supertrain livery. Hopefully 2015 will see them released in the IE liveries. I was really looking forward to 230 in the original Enterprise livery. Hopefully 209 in NIR blue will be released sometime in the future to complete the liveries carried by all the prototypes. Rich,

    Top photos Wanderer, you always produce the goods, as do the other lad's who take the time to post their photos. It's history as it is happening. Rich,

    The MM babies are for me in the top 5 of 1/76 (Irish or UK) models released in the last 10 years. The babies and the 121's were my favorite prototypes and to have 2 of the 3 classes in model form built too an exceptionally high standard is fantastic. As the OP has said they are fantastic runners. Rich,

    Nice one Fran, Nigel is a fine modeller and a great all rounder. The build of his Dudley Heath n gauge layout is well worth following on his website. Thanks for the heads up. Rich,

    Top work on the water tower Bren. The layout is really taking shape now. It's a layout for running trains which will really capture the prototype perfectly. I have to say that I love the 37's in DRS blue. Rich,

    They are smashing kits George, lovely work. The RMC JGA's from the society are a fantastic kit also. Rich,

    That's the way to go Des. I do understand that some folk are prepared to use rtr UK OO or European HO and if that is their choice then fair play to them. I can't help thinking though that the vast majority would prefer a prototypical model than a kit bashed, converted, non Irish rtr model. We have all seen the shots of the 42' flats, Ammonia wagon, and barrier wagon tank and cradles which we have all drooled over. If Des is to produce the 62'9" why not go with the prototypical model. Rich,

    The buffers on the SF locos are completely wrong and with the cab shape they look nothing like the prototype. Silver Fox do produce some very passable BR models so they can do better. Rich,

    Have ya been hit by a rucksack yet Richie. Rich,

    They look very nice Des, especially at the back of the buffer head. The castings will look sweet. Rich,

    Looking good George. It does as you say look a very well thought out kit. Rich,

    Superb pics Seamus it looks like you picked the right day, very much appreciated. Rich,
  20. RedRich
    Excellent information, I'd always wondered why there were no axle box covers on ours. Thanks for clearing that up. Rich,
  21. RedRich
    I agree very uncomfortable. Rich,
  22. RedRich
    Richie stunning work as usual. The imagination and skill to turn an idea into a model is fantastic. It's a credit to you. Rich,

    Soldering whitemetal to brass can be a trial in itself and it makes the work you have done really deserving of the plaudits. Top work George. Rich,
  24. RedRich
    Excellent George. Did you solder the whitemetal parts to the brass. Rich,
  25. RedRich
    They are fantastic Ivan. Even though a GAD can be useful the finished rolling stock isn't always the same. These are the real deal. Rich,
