    Blue would be good! 171 might be more popular though from the historical angle, the V class were restricted to the GN mainline whereas the S had wider route availability as well as a wider range of liveries: GN green, GN black & GN blue as well as UTA lined black. The V class had only two liveries (open to correction!): black with original boiler and then the classic blue with belpaire boiler. Am sure they would have looked fab in the UTA lined black but I don’t think any of them carried that livery?

    3 days until the IRM announcement….. Steam or non-steam….what are we all thinking? My predictions (which have never been remotely accurate): C class if diesel S class or Jeep if steam Just hoping I have fingernails left by the weekend…… Also, I have really missed the countdown widget on the IRM website!

    A very nice livery on a very nice loco! Love the buffer beam detail in particular.

    Fantastic JB - love the curved rock cutting, reminds me of the one on the approach to Ballyshannon NG.

    Mine is on the way…..from Canada, via NZ!!! I bet the prototypes clocked up the miles as well! Thanks John @Mayner - looking forward to its arrival.

    Managed to get on the first train into Grand Central this morning, 09:05 from Finaghy arriving at 09:15 First impressions are - it’s superb, very spacious, and modern, and definitely much needed. Some photos below, will post videos shortly.

    Great atmosphere in that view - lovely stuff!

    Just wondering is there anyone on the forum here who could answer a question/request about the amazing model of Dundalk Works & The Boyne Viaduct?

    Kicking off the speculation: If diesel: C class (but is that ‘all new’ ) If steam: An RPSI loco

    I'll remain optimistic (admittedly without hard evidence!) that the Navan branch will eventually have life breathed into it again. Seems a pity to have all that infrastructure there for it just to be left to decay - although it wouldn't be the first time that happened.... Yip - great video.

    Has been done!

    Would be a cracker model though, with a Nice finish.

    Gotta be some Ballymena & Larne stuff in there then JB!

    Have the IRM folks been a bit quiet of late.....? Plenty of nice stuff due to land shortly AND there's a major show coming up soon......steam announcement anyone......... Or maybe it's all going to land at once and blow our bank accounts in one go......
  22. Patrick Davey
    I think you should profess to take a vow that this will be the last one!
  23. Patrick Davey
    Genius folks - keep them coming!
  24. Patrick Davey
    Huh?
  25. Patrick Davey
