Sigh! My first set

Oh my gentle Chezus. That man is a genius. A genuine work of art, everything is so damn right on it.

Oh that is delightful. very 70s

Wow, flashback. Those milk containers were quite common even in the late 70s'. With the huge creamery in Mallow near the station (Rowntree Macintosh / Dairygold etc.) they were a constant presence on the road.

Irish Shell Oil Wagon http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/carriages/602.html I'll have transfers for this one up over the weekend for those who want them!! Lovely lovely job done by the Whitehead boys. I'd have loved a chance to needlegun that puppy

DAMN! That is one fine looking model. Not my era, but so.very.tempted.

Oh that's lovely. The watertower scen looks just right

Wow, that's impressive. I'll let Leslie Phillips have the final word...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0lKD3KPsc

Is "Hngggg" a good thing or a bad thing. Or are you just typing while exerting yerself?? Or is Hnnng a variation on Danish Interior Design?

Wow, I've never seen the all mesh covering before. You learn something everyday eh? (very Canadian that....eh?)

Clucking bell but that is some output Kieran. Very, very impressive. A huge and diverse range of work involving full kits, bashing, resin, brass et al. Well done sir, you sure don't hang around.

Hard to argue with that JB. I'd love to see the cost benefit spreadsheet presented to justify the MK3 scrapping. I still prefer them to the new Mk4. Far smoother ride.

A checklist to photograph (stating the bleeding obvious but...) Timetables,fares listing and tickets (in the 80s, the season ticket was filled out by hand) Car parks Billboards Station Signage of all types Passengers Coach interiors, walls floors,ceilings gangways Cab interior shot Signalling- main and ground (these puppies have changed a bit in the 5 years since I shot them) Bogies Buildings Relay cabinets Station doors & windows (are they original wood, ironframe or dreaded PVC?) Bridges (we've lost a few of the cut stone ones due to height restrictions) Level crossings and lamps (a lot of the 70s ones have been replaced and very few paraffin lamps remain, now small LED jobbies)

Very true. Loco shots are all very well, but we should turn our back to them sometimes and record the other detail just as much, cars, billboards, passengers waiting, track detail, coaches etc. I never cease to be amazed at how short sighted even the best photographers could be in the 50's and 60's, focussing almost exclusively on locos, forgetting all the other paraphanalia that really set the image in its time. If you're at a place that you've been to a million times but you haven't recorded it then photograph it there and now. You never know when something that you take for granted can just disappear overnight. Classic example for me was Ennis semaphore signalling. I photographed it on a Friday evening as it was to be removed the following day. Went down the following morning, thinking i might get a few last shots, and not a trace of it remained. It was like it had never existed.

This nails it for me. Stuff of dreams.

Cycled the Newcastlewest to Abbeyfeale section of the GSR and back. Walked the Listowel line before it became a bypass Walked 4 miles of the Mallow to Fermoy Line Cycled Newport to Mulranny and back (Greenway) Travelled by train on the Waterford to Rosslare harbour just before its closure

Studio Scale do GNRi crests in several sizes as well as numbering for T2, S, SG and V class locos, and K and L coach numbering. Drop me a line Tony.

Oh , very very tasty. That ;ate 60's vibe down to a tee. By the way, where did you get those pallets? They look verty well.

Really sorry to hear the news and I can only wish you the very best for the future Seamus. Your shop, support and presence will be sorely missed.

Swoon and flashback. Roll back to 1981 and it seemed to the complete dog's danglies. Was it a hound though?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And so to bed.

I don't think Heroin is that dense though....

That 4-wheeler shot looks very well.

Heavens, I'm waiting here with bated breath to find out where the next stop will be. Headford Junction, Rathduff? Mourne Abbey even???

Of God. Amazing.
