I modified the interior of one of my Mark 2 coaches, painted the seats,floors & added some passengers. I also painted the gangway doors & warning panels a Dayglow colour instead of the original red.
-
I added warning stripes to the back of my Garda & railway vans,hope ye like them....

rebelred, I really like that last quote of yours, " you can customise your Locos to your own favourite ones!!" as far as I'm concerned, put / run what you like on it & enjoy it, it's your railway,
...til i make a balls of it & run to you guys to bail me out!!!!!!!

I wouldn't get too hung up on those little details. Irish Rail always had a 'unique' maintenance program with their locos which gave each Loco a unique characteristic like attaching orange doors & wipers to a black & silver 071 Loco, different paint jobs to the same Liveries etc, thats what makes modelling so much fun- you can customise your Locos to your own favourite ones!!

You could always paint them (horns) i suppose.

Might be worth contacting paddy Murphy via his website. He carries spare parts.
Didn't know that, will do that if the gluing doesn't work, thanks
-
I want that layout! I'd have some fun 'playing trains' on that!!!! Christ! there is some amount of track points on it!! Can't wait to see this one develope good luck!

Rebelled, as for mk 2 bogies, good luck on that one, I've been looking about two weeks now, & still no joy, even got a pair of bogies from a4mallard, but no joy, hope these suggestions help,
I might be able to help you out with the bogies, i have 3 Lima coaches & i'm using one a 'guinea pig' for a re-spray, if it turns out to be a disaster you can have the bogies off it ( they won't be touched) I'll let you know if im getting rid
-
What Loco's are you selling Paudie?
-
Cheers lads, appreciate the help & advice
-
Have you a shot of the damaged bogie? Collectively we might be able to offer a fix? R.
tried to Glue it but it wont hold

Thanks Bos, would you know where i could get a spare MM Mark 2 bogie? when I was sawing last night one of my coaches rolled off the table! The small piece on top of the Bogie that slots in to the chasis cracked On the plus side I know how to get the roof off those coaches now!!!
Luckily that was the only damage!
-
Free Baseboard with every Loco That should shift them!!!!!!

I got mine today aswell finally completing my Mark 2 rake after a few years trying everywhere & being out bid on numerous occasions! !! Was gonna put photos up later but you got there first Noel! Haft to 'Dirty' the other coaches to match my van next. I agree aswell - class work from Seamus!
-
Very nice!

Mark 2As are the airbrake coaches ( Bachmann produced models of them) The ones in the photos are the Mark 2 vacuum brake coaches. They both poped up all over the system throughout their lifespan. The Mark2a used to come in to Cork on a Sunday service towards the end of their lifespan before they were axed. Might have been 2004???
-
Can I ask who will be behind the Mark IV / 22k models or is it still classified?? Great news that someone is tackling them looking forward to seeing how they turn out
-
Looks great Al, you need to kick that son of yours out now!!! Can't wait to see it progress,welcome on board!!

Honestly Noel, this coach rolled off the table & the roof came off (only damaged a bogie) so i took advantage but there are clips running along the length of coach so if you squeeze the roof along the sides the roof should lift & you might need to lift the roof above the gangways using a flat tool - id take off the gangways at the end first- they just pop out. The cravens are different, i want to do the same with mine.
My passengers are a mixture of Noch sitting people, half had no legs so they were easy to put in, the ones with the legs dont fit flush so put glue on their arses & top of their backs & that held them in place!
