I hope to get some Oxford die cast scania coaches & bring them from factory standard to really detailed ulsterbus & goldliner coaches....
My question is, is possible to get inside the coach to add people & details. Or is it small rivet?
Note: The display on the #ULB coach is (from front to back), IrishRailwayModeller, I'RailwayModeller, IRM
-
Will the new beauty be on duty?
And - I'm presuming it's the standard timetable, perhaps without the 1700 departure?
If your talking about 458, unfortunately not, as she's in a refurbishment program, if your talking about ITG's A39r, I don't know.
1400 being the first departure, 1700 being last departure.
DCDR has the right to cancel, suspend & or delay any service with out notice

Hello!
This thread is to keep you updated on what is happening & planned public events at the Downpatrick & County Down Railway & The Irish Traction Group, Downpatrick based.
News:
I'm sure you have already heard about A39® in her new (amazing) livery, which was painted by one man (at most of the time).
Next Public Event:
The next public event at DCDR will be the Mince Pie Trains, which is (I think at a tradition) a diesel hauled train day, so, if you like heritage diesel trains & mince pies, this will be a fantastic day out for you.
This will take place on January 2nd, 2016
For details, see downrail.co.uk or Facebook.com/downrail

Ah damn, what did I start!?
Fantastic work!

you just made my Christmas tony.
Was only trying be polite & not offend as I do not know if the person in question (or even a robot) is a Madam or a Sir, but I'm glad to hear that I have made your Christmas
Craven1508,
I think it'll take more than a bit of tinkering, as the model is smaller than your usual HO/OO stuff, plus the fact the bogies on it don't swing at all, in fact the only things that do move is the couplers & the wheels that turn, but, if your going tinker it, why not the extra mile & hack it so the middle has its own carriage like the ones IRL, I'm sure you could do this cheaply by buying another two (three in total) & use the couplers from the spares, & any left over wheels, you could use on a 1/76 road digger to turn it into a RRV.
Did I mention that Siku make a even smaller version of this model with same size of couplers in a red park & ride livery? No? Well, just as well I just did
^it may come in handy.
-
Ah, thank you Mr/Mrs BosKonay, just couldn't get it to work earlier.
Indeed, it's not bad looking at all (I grabed one for the price shown)
-
Spotted these in Symths toys store today while looking around for a Christmas present.
The model it's self is a great build & high quality, tho, because it is a German built train by Siku, the unit is a German train in the Luas tram livery. I think it fits TT gauge track. It is Siku product No. 1646 "Nahverkehrszug/Local train/ Train de banlieue"
See Siku.de for more information
Unfortunately the images won't load.

The all new new Hornby Select 2016 controller

I got out my private helicopter (kindly supplied by Google Maps) and took a flight over Drogheda just now. There are points either end of the viaduct, so it's ordinary single track. I don't know the technical term for the safety rails, they aren't check rails as such which are set just inside the back-to-back gauge. You see them on a lot of bridges though.
Guide Rails are the technical term
-
Looks like that rubber-band-powered biscuit tin they have on the giants causeway railway!
No, this 15inch gauge railcar looks much nicer. The one at QCR was a mistake which should of never happened. This railcar operated a branch line & when first introduced, was known as the silver jubilee set.
-
Some nice smaller railcar here.... Rather good looking if you ask me
-
Thanks Tony and fear not, there are diesels in the follow up layout I built. One based on the then newly released 08 shunter, the other a railcar from an MTK El Crappo (yes, really) kit. Will post in a couple of days as my laptop is having a service.
No problem, I can not wait to see your newer layout with all these!
-
Whats a diesel?
It's a type of fuel, more friendly than petroleum. It is used to power lawnmowers, trains, planes, cars, boats, helicopters, etc. Etc.
It's also a nickname for locomotives powered by this type of fuel.
-
Jeepers! They look stunning!
Tho there are no diesels
-
New (used) locomotive, just need plastic card now....

Changing bogies.... http://www.caf.es/en/innovacion-tecnologia/productos-tecnologicos/brava.php
A animation of how it works is also on the weblink

In Spain, they have a standard gauge of 5ft 6 & a few express service from France which has the world standard gauge of 4ft 8 & 1/2 (known as UIC gauge in Spain), to adopt this, CAF came up with a system for the bogies so that they can change between the two gauges (above) in under 60seconds at high speeds.
I'll leave a link to this when I get home.
Excause any spelling mistakes.

-
Just a bit of fun....
-
Can a mod change the thread spelling to "Gauge" please. It's upsetting me.
Ah bother, not my bad spelling again, sorry!

LINK FIX:
Those IOMR 1:76 locomotives which run on TT guage track can be bought here, as they where released this week....
https://www.gov.im/categories/travel-traffic-and-motoring/bus-and-rail/heritage-railways/shop/
The postage is high, but worth it, especially if you have a spare 1:76 motor kicking about.... (Which I havnt done as of yet)
-
John, that loco looks wonders, if only it was a EMD (being checky) ..... I only discovered about No.21 in 2014 when a user posted a photo of her in the FB group, Irish Railways Past & Present, claiming it was like a baby of a baby GM (141s). I went to the IOM in August with mum to see the loco, but because of her being a brand new loco & having teething problems, I was denied access (no members of public had access).
Built by: Motive Power & Equipment Solutions, Inc.(MP&ES) of Greenville, South Carolina, United State.
The loco boasts a Cummings QSX15 550HP Diesel Engine connected to a 480 3Phase Alternator and powering four (4) DC 250 HP Traction Motors and features twin cabs either end with central driver seats with narrow central body work.

Those IOMR 1:76 locomotives for TT guage track can be bought here:
Post age is high, but I'm guessing it maybe worth it, especially if you add a motor to them

Oxford Diecast Scania Coach/Bus
in Bus models
Posted · Edited by tonybonneyba
I live local to a bus sub-depot which houses ULB 612 (FZ 9612) & a relative who is a bus driver is based their too. 612 only operates until 1600 in the evening from early morning. So sources are available to me
Tho, 612 is a i4 & the above is a PB, the difference between a PB & i6 is very little, one of which includes the silver band on the first Window after the door / drivers cab.
