    Where's the green restored cafe one?
  2. jhb171achill
    I think you can get them easily enough, Harry. On those locos, a good idea to have them well weathered - J26 types rarely looked clean!

    Yellow submarines which I saw the other day. Just while we're talking ballast....
  4. jhb171achill
    So 231 will have a new livery variation then. Those locos have had quite a few! Three varieties of orange, yellow and black, two 9three?) varieties of Enterprise initial livery, probably the same of the last one, and now two of the new one, as well as inter city green and grey! If this is a new "general purpose" livery, one wonders if all 201s in traffic will eventually wear it.....?

    461 is an anagram of 146. That's today's utterly useless piece of information.
  6. jhb171achill
    I wonder what the current thinking is on how long the refurbished grey locos will be in traffic? The 141s got to fifty - that's another ten years for the 071s....

    Makes all the difference on a layout to have accurate signals....

    Or 776-23.45566789/23223 223467718000001.4 5567 072.... (In case she gets lost on a 2ft gauge railway in Nepal....)

    How come the black band is full body length? Is it not going to be the same as the others?
  10. jhb171achill
    Wow! As speechlessly good as Arigna Road!
  11. jhb171achill
    Looks great! Livery not quite right, but not bad....
  12. jhb171achill
    Very nice models. For American / Canadian scenes especially, N gauge gives way better possibilities space wise.

    In latter days, the centre cars and driving trailers were of a number of different types. Probably no bad thing, depending on the degree of accuracy you want, to research via photos an actual make-up of an actual set. They were much more comfortable to travel in than most modern railcars.

    The big difference is that the EIE lot are put up in 5 star luxury hotels and castles, and have more varied tours, rather than sleeping in a siding! ;-)

    I would guess a normal flat wagon... I've a photo somewhere taken at Limerick, will try to find. I think they were standard 20ft containers - certainly looked that way but I can't state with absolute certainty.

    That has happened in Downpatrick as well. On one occasion I arrived to do the dining car, but there was no fireman and I ended up firing the engine for the afternoon!
  17. jhb171achill
    I'd buy that in a flash if it was nearer Dublin!!!!
  18. jhb171achill
    I think IP was a Tipperary registration, so that hearse must have been originally bought there.

    Looks like headford all right. As others have said, a huge gratitude to Ernie.
  20. jhb171achill
    So I'll have to wait for half a century before getting an Achill D16 like 531 or 532.....
  21. jhb171achill
    I think so, Jawfin. It's currently at Mullingar, by the way, owned by a consortium of RPSI members.
  22. jhb171achill
    The RPSI will need it next month!
  23. jhb171achill
    Only thing is, Flickr takes so long to open up / download, it's virtually useless beyond maybe two pages..... I've always found it that way even with 4 different computers / laptops / iPad. Anyone else?
  24. jhb171achill
    That really looks top class. Can't wait to see it in its surroundings!
  25. jhb171achill
    Roger is a real gentleman too. I'm in the middle of the seating plan for the RPSI May tour and delighted as always to see a "R Joanes" on the booking list! Quite a few members here are on it too - maybe I should reserve a special "IRM members area"! Those of you interested in diesels, and travelling on Friday, as far as possible you'll be in a coach at the non-genny end (coach G, probably - Craven 1508).
