I wonder do they walk up and down the track pretending to be locos

Some notes I found. RAD CH x (yellow border): Tune train radio to channel x. I think there's four different channels. CAWS C1 or CAWS C2 (blue border). Set CAWS ADU to specified carrier. C2 on lines in and around the DART system, C1 elsewhere. ETS: Start point of mechanical signalling NO EMU TRAINS (amber border): Means what it says, no electric trains beyond this point, Used on the extremities of the DART system and the non-electrified junctions around Connolly. White circle with black W in middle: Whistle board (NIR only) Black and amber stripes: Whistle board (IE only) The CAWS, RAD and ETS boards also have versions with a diagonal red line through them, indicating that CAWS, radio coverage or ETS is unavailable beyond that point. Speed limits: Permanent speed restrictions (PSRs) are indicated by a number contained within an octagon. Temporary speed restrictions (TSRs) use four different signs: The first is a triangle with blinking light and speed indication underneath. This is an advance warning board. The second is the letter C with the TSR underneath (the commencement board) The third is the letter R in a circle. This is a Reminder board. Not all TSRs will use this one, it's generally used at stations to remind the driver to stick to the TSR after departing the station. The final one is the letter T. This is the termination board, marking the end of the TSR.

Answered my own question. TPWS and AWS north of the border and CAWS in the south

Am I correct in saying IE doesn't use TPWS?

Irish?!

Sorry lads. Some over eager security settings Should be all good now!

Mocked out the boards for the right hand loop and steam / preservation depot:

Sounds like an issue with your ISP, you could disconnect and reconnect, or reboot the PC will fix it

Can you try that now heirflick?

Just spotted a notice from Hattons: Murphy Models MM0112 Irish Class 071/111 diesel locomotive "Northern Counties" in NIR blue livery (as on loan to IE) £125.00 Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us on or after Thursday 1st November 2012 Whilst we are hopeful this information is accurate, manufacturer lead times are frequently prone to be delayed. This information is to be used as a guide only. We hope that this email has been useful.

Wow! Well tasty!

YouTube you can embed here allright but any vid would be cool

I'd say a roof is a year away Priority is a running loop now

I've been experimenting with polyfilla. The problem is that the proper terminus concrete laid stuff, has the chairs and rail mounted to the concrete. I can't reproduce that look at all using peco track and filler / etc. So I'm going to compromise and use regular ballast in the terminus roads, and do a good job of the over-roof to make it less obvious

Any pics of the lamps in action ?

It denotes the programming track It's connected via a DPDT switch so I can toggle it from main back to programming, etc, so I can drive a loco onto it, flip to programming to interrogate or programme the decoder, then flip it back to main to drive it out again

Cheers Rich, I think I have in my head what it's 'supposed' to look / work like Although adding signals to these baby is on the loooong end of the todo

There is physical space to add back in the dock / cement terminal, but I reckon one thing at a time!

Here is the latest track plan, showing the larger through station and the 'RPSI' Depot

From what I am reading I will need TPSW grids (pairs) before the buffers in the terminus and at every signal / platform end...., then again on the mainline at signals and in advance of crossings, etc. Has anyone any good references, or photos of Irish AWS/TPSW stuff?

And the beginning of dummy point motor installation.. Anyone know where I might find details on where the AWS / TPWS and various boxes and detectors and thingies 'should' go?

Two little bits of updates: 1 - IE's new re-gauged MRA's fresh off the boat before a lick of paint

You are flying at some pace!!!

I think I'd get dizzy trying to stop 4 crashing!!
