Thanks DJ I used MIR paint. "NIR Maroon" and "NIR Dark Blue" These were colour matched to NIR paint by Precision Paints in the 80s.

Unused Hornby eLink and Railmaster software, boxed and still in original unused condition. Price €50 including postage within Ireland.

Is there an MIR item in the video?

Without waiting, here is an IRM Mk2b that I repainted, hauled by an MIR kit built Hunslet.

I believe the rolling stock tender went to Murphy Models lol

Thanks for that interesting information @Horsetan and @GSR 800. Can anyone from IRM confirm which models have what arrangement? I would like the preserved version with the two horizontal handrails only.

The preserved 800 has two (I think) horizontal handrails on the smokebox door. The IRM pictures show some vertical handrails as well. Can anyone please advise which model versions have the horizontal handrails only?

Very neat wiring Tony. Not a piece of spaghetti to be seen.

I hope the sound file for the 'as preserved' version makes a few more sounds than the prototype, which sits in the museum making no sound at all.

JHB I stand corrected.

Tony, you will need one heck of a helix for through running of trains.

The DSER was known locally as the "Dublin Slow and Easy Railway".

Well some of it is lol

Drew explainwd the term 'boxes' as meaning 'boxes of coal'. The longer the journey or the heavier the train, then more boxes of coal were required.

Interesting observation. How is this information obtained?
