    The McMahon / Clements “Green Bible” contains a large amount of info about tenders….

    I was doing a coach tour one day these lowered-suspension 1987 Subaru idiots were doing wheelies up at Molls Gap. My coach driver was just about ready to run them all down!

    Interesting shot - any idea where?
  4. jhb171achill
    Me too! (Though I never did any Duke stuff!)

    There are ghosts in IRM Towers. They keep those people awake.

    Any 00 scale mobile phone masts?

    As far as Ireland was concerned, WAAY more!

    Now THAT brings me back. I think it was the first RPSI trip I was on….. great day out!

    Good to see that close up, as I was thinking of doing that myself! Just wondering where the right style of numbers (e.g. D302) might be obtained from - larger for the sides and cab end, and smaller for the front end....?

    Wow - 179 still in actual railway service? Or including industrials and preservation? On another front, with a generous 2ft rule, a coat of green or black paint and CIE logos will make a half-acceptable "D" class shunter out of one of those.....

    €200 - €400? That's worth about €100.

    Mighty stuff indeed - as usual!
  13. jhb171achill
    Out of interest, are there any / many 08s still in actual railway company use (as opposed to industrial / preservation)?

    Superb as always! I remember seeing Bullied opens in trains like that full of oul broken up sleepers, chairs and fishplates.....! At some stage, I hope to put together that all too common sight in the early 1960s - the lifting train! Sleeping van, brake van, and a number of flats (one or two with winches on them) and open wagons full of track fittings, with a couple of bogie flats with cut up sections of rail on them! Filthy green "C" up front..............

    Very interesting indeed. Wonder who the owner of the loco is.

    Busy traffic through Malahide this afternoon…. IMG_1069.mov

    I think they all have toilets...........

    As a general idea of what's typically running, today we had the following: - 2-car 26 class railcar in silver & green - 071 + Taras - 121 + Cement bubbles - 201 + Mk 3s including the two Executive carriages - "A" + Cravens - 141 + Mk 2s - NIR 111 + 1990s "Enterprise" - 201 + Mk 4 set ....and an old "C" with a cattle train on the upper "0" gauge track.

    This is looking great! Love the rusted effects on the roof. Pure Wisht Caark'n'Kerry, boi.... And yes, the GSR had for a long time station paint scheme exactly like that, and it was continued by CIE until the early 1960s, when after a few experiments with red, the familiar multi-shaded greys took over to last to the 1980s.

    The Tooth Fairy brought a pack of the new flat wagons to my door just now…. As per the Bullied opens the other day, these are OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD. Yet again IRM have scaled new heights with what really is exhibition standard RTR Irish models. Yet again, IRM, very well done!

    Must say I’ve always seen the Austrians in a positive light - but like many a neighbour, they and the Germans don’t always have a high opinion of each other….

    Do those idiots not do even the tiniest bit of elementary research? The buyer was had.
  23. jhb171achill
    Nevaaar, nevaaar, nevaaar....... (OK, it's preferable to what they have now!)
  24. jhb171achill
    County Donegal red & cream would look better than any of the dreary Enterprise liveries..............! .......Or "Ballina Goods Train Grey"!
  25. jhb171achill
    That's an ITG livery, though - in real life, different font on front, number on side too, and silver bogies!
