Patrick Davey

Very refined.  Much better than the crude alternatives out there.  Looking forward to drilling down into the detail.

Hmm..... looks like Brookhall Mill has been removed from the exhibition...........?

Replaced the batteries in my lighting circuits in advance of the show this weekend.

Pensive Jinty.

@BosKonay - why no countdown widget on the IRM website?  That gives me a reason to wake up in the morning......... 

The miniature film makers arrived to Brookhall this afternoon, their sound equipment wasn't working however and they only had a cheap camera with poor colour balance capabilities.  Looking forward to bringing the layout to Bangor next weekend.

Really looking forward to seeing Brookhall mill in person in Bangor, Hoping that Patrick will have lots of specials (that he will no doubt come up with a brilliant reason for). Any chance that @Tullygrainey will bring along some BCDR influence again?

100% to the BCDR visitors!  Looking forward to hopefully meeting you in person MV!

A few clips from the view of the driver and the passenger!

First the driver:

Then the passenger:

Now two trains:

And now three:

A very strange delivery to the seaside this evening, there must be something weird going on.

Priceless stuff!

Tis 1955 again….

JB I was thinking maybe a bit later, the branch would still be in GNRB hands until 1958 I think?  A30 would probably be devoid of her silver livery by then though.

This is just awesome!  Enjoying the progress.

A30 arrives at and departs from Clogherhead with a local service to Drogheda, in early CIE days.

1 blue NIR set left!

In between work duties today I have been reading back through the main A Class thread here on the forum, reliving all the anticipation of the delivery date and all the excitement when they landed and the cracking photos we all shared.  Hard to believe it’s over two years ago!!  My 4 A class locos give me much enjoyment every day, even if I can’t run them every day they’re always there to admire and I have plenty of photos photos too of course

Once again, a big shout out to the IRM team for the huge amount of work that went in to bringing us these exceptional models

Silver A class - unbeatable. Pity the prototype reality was very different!!!!

I’ll just leave these pics here.  That livery is

If so, then go to the chip in question and click on it, then click on 'click to download functions'.

Cheers B

I think I saw that one but am not sure if it's the updated one or the original one which came with the locos?

Evening all - would anyone be able to direct me to the above document?  I can't find it on the IRM website but I am notoriously useless at web searches.

TIA!

Sensational - well done folks!

Delighted to be bringing Brookhall Mill to the upcoming Bangor show!!  @Tullygrainey Alan Nixon of this parish will be giving me his generous assistance (look out for the snazzy red polo shirts!) so please come along and say hello!

Niceeeeeeeeee

Lovely loco selection!

Still my favourite CIE livery:
