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

Mighty Alan!

That’s different…..

Very sad to hear this - this Forum is a great source of support and I’d be certain that every member would wish to send you genuine support and good wishes

Just wondering how this project is developing

It’s a Jinty file I think and I was hoping I would be able to adjust the chuff rate at some point? We went for the Jinty as it’s also an 0-6-0.

A small (literally) update to 'Countess of Antrim' - a whistle!! On the prototype this was located at the front, on the smokebox, on the fireman's side. A brass Midland Railway whistle (it looked right!) was obtained from Roxey Mouldings and once again Alan Nixon stepped in to stop me making a mess of it! Thanks Alan! Just the crew to add, then this build will be completely finished.

Very nice Kevin - how did you produce the polychromatic yellow/black/red brick?

Very interesting and very impressive!

Impressive Alan!

Aye - that made me think they had physically arrived, then I got extra excited as I believe the Hunslets are arriving at the same time...alas no corresponding email! Sure won't.

They look fab

If they are "Arrived into Stock" then hopefully not as long as 6 weeks until they land with us

More black & tan action? Ok then!

Very nice - such an incredible resource is the IRRS Flickr archive!

Great build and great contributions!
