You mean la vida loco? -
I can offer you one at half a billion, Warbonnet - but I don't want to discuss the price...... Dang. So Leo Martin has them........
-
Good thinking We’ll agree to differ, flange - I’m just glad I got mine from IRM at the time…..
-
It’s a JM Design one…. Excellent models.
-
I think I’ll advertise €5 notes for £234 each. Please don’t ask questions about price. Seriously, this guy is downright offensive with this blatant attempted robbery.
-
Cheek of him….. “no comments on pricing”! 375 in brexitpounds is €440 - more than doubling his money BEFORE charges are added. Blatant gouging - I sincerely hope nobody buys it.

The "Flying Woodlouse"...................?
-
Yes - can't see the point myself of yer man posting it either - but that's the photographer's business, I suppose.... I liked the shot because it shows an ancient MGWR brake 3rd with a brand new tin van, and a wooden-bodied GSWR bogie....
-
Convert to euros and add routine post and customs, and you're pretty much exactly at €300..... Here we go again!

Saw that!

Yes, the farmers often got beet pulp back as animal feed. Some beet trains I’ve seen pictures of in the 1960s had up to half a dozen vans.

The weathering on the 2.4.0 is the work of “Dempsey”, of this constituency……

Looking very well….
-
The more whiskey you had in Manorhamilton or Belcoo, the more likely you’d see those guys on the last train home….

”…..ah, don’t get me wrong, the diesel’s way easier, but I’m too long in the tooth to learn them things. When it goes diesel in February I’m off to England, job in a bakery near me sister’s in Birmingham…. yeah, so this is me last beet season…”

It’s beet season. The empty wagons have arrived, plus a van to bring the beet pulp back to the farmers.

Variously fine gravel and crushed cinders out of locos….even sand….. according to the guy in charge of the PW when that pic was taken!

Could well be the same train! I’ll look for the link.
-
Indeed; but the wording of the initial bit is, I assume, verbatim from the photographer! So unless he changes his mind…. Before I read that bit I had emailed smugmug’s own “help line”; it was they who pointed this out to me……

Hi hexagon It seems I didn’t read the writings on it properly - it says that the particular photographer (whose details are private) does not “under any circumstances” grant permission for copies, nor enter into any correspondence! I must presume, therefore, that unless anyone knew him personally and might “put in a word” for someone else, it’s a dead duck…. The photo was of a steam train leaving Dunsandle for Loughrea. It’s not even that great a photo, but I like it!

Any major info about the IE 201 Class?

I had a footplate run on one occasion when the official speed for the section was exceeded by over 20 mph! -
Only saw a train on that line once - the daily goods crossing the street in Charlestown….. he only had about 4 or 5 wagons on…… superb choice and those drawings of the crossing cottage would be suitable - and easy to build - in many applications. Its making me wonder if I can fit a level crossing on my extension station….
-
Very many thanks, Jason, much appreciated. Enjoy!

Having seen the finished result, I would strongly recommend changing status from “interested” to “purchaser”; that will automatically propel you to the ranks of “satisfied customer”!
