    He's inside it finishing his sandwich and tea! Very useful van indeed. Several just about made it into the 1960s, so can certainly be seen with A, C, G, & B101 classes plus anything steam.

    On and from 19th July, the museum will be offering guided tours, as well as normal self-guided admission, for €12 per head (normal entry €9) for groups of ten or more. These tours will take place, subject to demand, each Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11:00.

    This is a fantastic job coming along very well. Looking forward to seeing the final result….

    So everything else is DDs?
  5. jhb171achill
    Looking great!

    It comes with a taxidermists's certificate.
  7. jhb171achill
    So realistic! Reflects the state they were in their final days very well.
  8. jhb171achill
    Doubtless this is correct. I’m pretty certain none had aluminium plates in real life.

    What about lining & numerals? Does it need a flying snail (for lunch)?
  10. jhb171achill
    Historically spot on, livery-wise, provided the lining is as it looks to be - red and straw colour, not yellow as sometime mes seen on UTA models. Nice looking beast overall.

    Good to see you’ve got all your ducks in a row.

    Beauty!

    Is this CD or CCD?
  14. jhb171achill
    Well done again!
  15. jhb171achill
    If indeed it was a joyrider, we might gently place the culprit astride the live wires above.....
  16. jhb171achill
    Fantastic work in such a short space of time - very well done!
  17. jhb171achill
    Ah! Never heard that one. Fits the bill!
  18. jhb171achill
    It needs to be in authentic livery….

    Unbelievable... Is there no way of reporting or preventing this type of false sale? Next - a genuine Bandon, Mallow & Western Rly. station laptop from 1886?

    As in a Castle Class or an MED; or a 2-car 2600……?
  21. jhb171achill
    That’s actually Galtee Halt….. in 12” to the foot scale.

    jhbSenior was involved with lifting the Markethill line. The track was so knackered that they actually had to partially re-sleeper and relay a few short stretches of it, just to get the lifting train (very possibly the same one above) to the end of it, in order to turn round and lift it up as it returned........... A modelling project for a 1955-65 era layout - a lifting train! Arguably more interesting than today's yellow machines, or do I dare say that?
  23. jhb171achill
    As a child, I was often taken to places where the lifting train was either about to arrive, or had just left; this was the 1960s, the "golden age" of branch line closures, and many miles of as-yet unadulterated formations of recently abandoned lines.... Seen here, the dreaded lifting train somewhere between Richill and Armagh, approx. 1960. (H C A Beaumont)

    It's a Z scale model of boris johnston's ego.

    This is the sort of “human” story which is so often overlooked, yet brings home the sheer horror and tragedy of an incident like this.
