Yes please

With the illuminated Park Royals soon to be seen on layouts everywhere, and all those amazing fully-illuminated diesel locos already working hard, my never-resting mind landed on something which I'd really to have... Lamps for the rear of passenger & goods trains, and the front of steam locos The recent Hornby experiment with their new Black 5 didn't seem to be a huge success, so my lamps would be much better, with the following specs: * Wireless, with really tiny rechargeable batteries * Recharging base station, charging multiple units simultaneously * Fitted with really tiny magnets on the rear and underside so they can be fitted to loco buffer beams and the rear of carriages & brake vans * More really tiny magnets for fitting to the aforementioned loco buffer beams, carriages & brake vans Macro technology......

I enDROID that one

I'll have to Chew(bacca) over that.......

The meaning of the mirth apparently precipitated by the appearance above of the Star Wars dude has passed me by I'm afraid.

Very nice!

Very nice, and not a million miles away from some GNR(I) locos, including the livery from the early days!

Agreed. And it's headed towards Clogherhead!!

The May 2026 edition of ‘New Irish Lines’ is a cracker, with some excellent articles on a range of subjects, many by esteemed regulars of this parish too And I almost forgot to mention…… ‘The Countess of Antrim’ takes pride of place on the front cover Fantastic newsletter, very highly recommended contact the editor Alan O’Rourke for subscription information: alanorourke@hotmail.co.uk

Another masterpiece Kevin!

Speechless The loco..... The carriages.....

Lovely stuff Leslie & Nelson! There'll be a new arrival at Clogherhead soon too......

Lovely - will be perused!!! Thanks for the intel @Westcorkrailway! Tried clicking on the photos but keep getting an error - might just be the work wi fi.....will try again later at home.

What a space!! I'd be tempted to have three different layouts in there!!!

That!

Fabulous stuff John!

Masterpiece!

That B&T livery is very striking. It really shouldn’t work but it really does

I wonder how many more PRs will sell out after Fran’s reveal of the incredible photos above! I just hope they fit alongside the platforms at Clogherhead

Drool.........

Just superb!!!

Nice update - timely shots of the 800s in action.

Enjoyed the Settle-Carlisle photos too Ernie!! Magnificent stretch of railway.

Looking like 8 PRs sold out now - great to see them so popular. EDIT: back to 6 now.......

Interesting - this locomotive was built by the same maker, and in the same year, as Ballycastle Railway No. 2 ‘Countess of Antrim’ which is one of my ‘in progress’ projects
