Very nice idea Kirley - http://scalescenes.com/products/T007-Office-Block looks good too as a background bit of height!
-
Would be fun to see what one would look like Maybe the new 'primer' 071's are a hint at future rebranding
-
I've been looking Kirley - would love a busy city scape, but cant seem to find one
-
It's a gaugemaster 'sky' backscene - and quite nice / subtle it is too... I plan to wallpaper this section to the roof, which will give some backscene height for your terminus over roof ;) The layouts set on a late summer afternoon I think ( ) so lots of green and blue sky, very atypically Irish, but sure tis my mini world

I must admit the same weakness Rich, I've a small stash of freightliner 66's (and some 70s and a 57!). It's nice to have a bit of modern colour I've a weakness for intermodal stuff, so have boxes of pockets, dapol FEA-Bs, bachmann intermodals, etc, on top of the irish 40 and 46'ers! With a bit more time, and baseboard Dave finally back to build the helix and fiddle yard under the terminus board, I hope to have enough space to have Irish and UK stock share the layout.

Might be too blue if anything...
-
A bit of sky on the backstreet
-
You're an absolute mine of information railer thank you!
-
Looks great! Love the NR yard. Where did u get the fencing? The 3k looks right at home too. Is she a class 168/170?
-
Are the running numbers rotated around or do specific locos tend to stick with the same role?
-
Would certainly be fun to see electric locos!
-
I'd hope so
-
I -love- your track weathering too - blast of the airbrush? The concrete sleepers looks stupendously effectively weathered!!
-
Lovely, just lovely What a pairing, 078 and mk2s
-
At the best price in Ireland for a drop of diesel, 'fill her up' on a 201 would cost you €6,273.48
-
Very much so, considering the 4,546 litre fuel tank!
-
Yep, based on that idle rate I would have said at least 9-10l per hour! Not very efficient, tho compared to 12-15 trucks on the road....
-
Interesting!! Quite a high idle rate Will run the numbers when I get back to my desk
-
Of course if the engine is idling in a siding, the tank would be enough to keep her ticking over for a month
-
I feel like I was back in front of my class writing it (my previous life as a school teacher )

Well the 071's have 126.8 litre engines (this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_645) that produce 2,250 horsepower. The Fuel Tanks are 3,600 L on each Loco. As a rule of thumb, a large diesel will burn 3.5-4l of fuel per 20hp. So 2250hp/20=112.5 x 3.5l = 393.75 litres of fuel per hour at full tilt. However, fuel consumed is proportional to the cube of the engine revs, so if the engine is at 65% power say, then power developed 65% x 65% x65% = 27% max = 607.5hp = 106 litres per hour. On that basis, at an average 65% revs, the tank will last about 33 hours.

Entire stock?
-
An absolute stunner No other word for it / them !!! Lovely work!
-
Stunning!!! Loved the platform-video too!
-
Beautiful work Anthony - I'm surprised by how much of a difference the smoothed front / grab rails make!
