    Will the 09:50 and 10:50 ex-Connolly still (theoretically) be DDs?

    Absolutely outstanding realism!

    Yes, he made that as a commission for CIE for a display stand they had.

    Best looking person in Malahide.

    Downpatrick really is going from strength to strength. The partnership there with the ITG has paid off many times over.

    We end our travels in Malahide itself….. IMG_3663.mov IMG_3664.mov

    I'll be heading north either Friday or Monday. I always use a service which is supposed to be a DD. Of the last six times that I have got the Enterprise, four times it's been an NIR set (once just 3 cars with people standing), one has been cancelled entirely, and one has been the actual booked DD set. I wonder what's ahead of me....................!

    Extra marzipan on my cake, please............

    More from Malahide Railway Museum. The Mk 4 for Cork has a fault in its satnav, so it’s heading for Wicklow instead…. IMG_3671.mov Also crossing the Liffey…. IMG_3670.mov

    I do know that one of his LLSR relics - a coach transfer monogram - went for a walk....

    In one photo of his layout in his home, part of what looks like a Bandon Tank can be seen, partially obscured, so he MIGHT have had one. There is - strangely - no record of him ever having had any J15 - maybe he thought them too “ordinary”. Not the nearest equivalent, the Midland J18. It’s known that he retained a very small few models and gave away a few - were looking at a dozen maximum. His daughter, now 90, retains about 5 or 6 locos, mostly LMS. It is thought that distant family members have 1 or 2 more.

    What is often strange about the Fry collection is the omissions. His daughter, now about 90, retains ownership of about half a dozen of his models, but there’s no Bandon tank anywhere - yet, he made a single Wisht Caark model; a coach. In CBSCR livery, too (though the green is far too light). IMG_3674.mov IMG_3676.mov IMG_3673.mov

    Outstanding, George! Love this layout!

    Dugort Branch back in the day - tank loco 472 heads “up to town” in July 1956, and A30 pulls into the goods yard in 1959. The branch train awaits at the platform behind it. A wheezing Crossley “C” will do the honours today.

    Looks almost like a trial run of one of those new white "darts"....! (Battery darts - Barts??)
  17. jhb171achill
    But you're in the wrong livery, wrong gauge, and the wrong scale, and you've no DCC. Calling Mr. Dempsey, of this parish!
  18. jhb171achill
    As always.....................WOW!
  19. jhb171achill
    Absolutely BRILLIANT news - very well done to all.
  20. jhb171achill
    Both sold now - thanks for looking.
  21. jhb171achill
    Beautiful!!

    Gawwwd. Wanted to take the grandson on a DD set tomorrow as far as Drogheda and back. Anyone know if there is the slightest chance that any normal DD service will be operating?
  23. jhb171achill
    https://www.studio-scale-models.com/Brake30.shtml I have two of these kits untouched, unopened, for sale. I paid €50+ for the two including postage. Will sell for €25 each or €48 for both, imcluding postage to anywhere in Ireland or the UK.

    Tis a bit wild right now in the Republic of Malahide. Don't stand too near to any tree, that's for sure! Bits flying off them left right and centre........

    Well, the other day when i went north, the DD was a 6-car NIR railcar. No matter, thought I; I'll be sure to get a DD back tomorrow. Sure enough - the following day the 16:00 DD was a THREE-car NIR set, with no working internet.
