    On the Lough Swill line?

    I heard that some stuff at least will go for scrap. In truth, it’s high time it did. If anyone wanted to preserve it they’d have done so long ago. As always, those who shout “Shame!” and “Pity!” loudest are the very folks who either can’t or won’t lift a finger themselves, let alone open their wallets!

    Invaluable info! Well done.

    I hope he was a DCDR & ITG member.

    Would anyone have an old bit of 12mm gauge track? All I need is about 2-3 feet of it maximum, doesn't matter what type or condition.

    Sometimes they were even blacker...

    That's the one..... known for the fact that every single locomotive, wagon and coach they ever possessed, ran in the wrong livery, and on the wrong gauge track.

    That’s very long gone, I believe.

    131 with RPSI. The Sligo railcar and two MGWR 6-wheelers are in store at Downpatrick. As far as I know, the rest long scrapped.

    Well, I am well over 60, and have only one single memory of seeing one in traffic!
  12. jhb171achill
    That’ll be some fleet, Mol! I’ve probably about 40 wagons at this stage…… dunno where I can keep them!
  13. jhb171achill
    Evidently not.
  14. jhb171achill
    Yup! For the least interesting, as opposed to your MOST interesting, we gave several choices. 1. Watching paint dry 2. Watching grass grow 3. Watching a video of an over-talkative railway enthusiast spending an hour and a half, ninety mind-numbing boring minutes, opening a box, taking the wagon out of it, setting it on a table and walking around it, still wittering on about some inane nonsense…..! Of these, (1) and (2) are preferable…..

    When can we discuss the new-build BCDR 4.6.4T or is that a secret?
  16. jhb171achill
    This has got to be the best video relating to a model railway subject that I have ever seen! Love the specially composed music too - all in all, utter genius, both the layout, the video production and the music!
  17. jhb171achill
    Thought so - encouraging!
  18. jhb171achill
    Fascinating stuff!
  19. jhb171achill
    At least the ITG have managed to secure one. Probably a static exhibit, I'd say - but with the moracles the ITG have been unveiling lately, including last Saturday, who knows! I wonder are any of the Sulzer engines in England of any use in terms of compatibility? I think B103's engine is largely gone?

    And worse, it’s not even Hornby asbestos, it’s Hornby Dublo!
  21. jhb171achill
    It’s an old kit I found, but it’s 12 inches to the foot scale. No DCC, though, and the couplings are completely incompatible with both standard Hornby ones and Kadees. It won’t run on code 70 OR 100 track, nor HO scale anything. It won’t go round curves, even a 2.4 metre radius one. So I’m not sure what I’ll do with it…. if someone will give me a tenner for it, it’s yours, but I’m told the postage could be high enough….
  22. jhb171achill
    I bet someone said “ooops!”
  23. jhb171achill
    Perfect venue for your E401 model!! "Ballymoll Mill Sidings"
  24. jhb171achill
    Well, the guy I'm having issues with (seperate person) has one week before I start legal action! I've been told pack after pack of lies for several years now. It'll cost him a lot more long term if he has to employ a solicitor.
  25. jhb171achill
    Most interesting, yes, that was a new one to me. And yes, B112 IS in the darker green, not to be seen on many diesels at all. A46 had it, and so did Downpatrick's C231 at one stage anyway. Of the extrremely few A, B101 & C's with dark green, all images I've ever seen of them have a waistline.
