yes them wagons do need some weather ing they stick out a bit compared to the rather caked up 161 i hold my.hands up the hoppers they only arrived this friday just gone so its in the pipe line .

thanks David yes thats true as i tend to build only small layouts there is more fun in the build side allso things get finished much quicker . as my iterest in railways covers stadard gauge subjects and narrow gauge and american to i can never justifie one large layout . as i am nearly allways thinking of my next project before one subject is finished

thanks popeye glad you like it . must admit it could have done with being a tad or to longer but it was just to see what can be done in a boxfile . it has a two track traverser so the whole layout can work with two locos and roughly 4-5 wagons . one loco brings train in uncouples and runs back out .then i bring another loco in to shunt . belive it or not a shut around can last for a good 10 -15 mins before reverse ing the whole process . thats is not include ing when things get in a jam and has to be un tangled . at the moment . i only have two 141 class locos but hope to add a 121 in a weeks time . fingers crossed

Hi all just sent in a few pics of my small boxfile layout . it will run a few different types of rolling stock inc gypsum and fertiliser and poss cement hope you like it . work still in progress .

would be interested if any one has a 071 class they would consider do ing a part exchange for a excellent condition 188 class no B 181 box is in good condition and has parts packet un oppened . please PM me if at all interested thanks

yes may be a re run is all we can hope for . i think irish railways have gained a huge following now a days with all the excellent locos that have so far been produced mind you even the rolling stock is not far behind with demand nearlly evey time i start looking for cement bubbles there all sold out

Hi all . over the last two years now or may be a bit longer ive noticed like others that try ing to get hold of a 141 0r 181 class loco that dus not cost the price of a trip to the moon and back is dare i say allmost in possible . i should count my self lucky that i have managed to get hold of 3 and that was only due to the kindness of one of the menbers on this forum some time a go . yes they do pop up on E BAY now and then but there going for a fare old wack . i can understand that demand will dictate prices of course. and who would not like shed loads of dosh for a 2nd hand loco . and i expect the question of will there be any re runs has been asked many times . this has only come to my main question as i started looking for a 071 class a month or so ago and sadly they now seem to have gone the same way . please doint get me wrong lads its not ment as a good moane just a observation .

Yes the lock down has made many of us make do with what ever we have laying around . i know my self have made good use of a recycleing a old base board for my latest l micro layout . sounds like you had real good fun makeing your shed . seeing your layout has made me think about have a second go at a nother micro cement layout who knowns . I do like your main buildings at the far end of your layout are they all scratch built . they look really impressive .

Hi Richrua . brilliant work really like it . doint know if ime right but you doint see many irish micro layouts so its a real treat . strange thing as well i did build a small micro cement layout my self some years back to run my 141 on . hope you doint mind i slipped a pic of it in cheers kevin .

Just would like to say I have just re started my interest in irish locos again and i do own a 141 class .And just thought i might like To see if there were any others on E BAY but was cutt dead in my tracks on the insane 2nd hand prices . i will go back and check but i could not belive my eyes a 141 was going for £400 and thats on bids . there is no way on earth i or most people can pay that sort of money . i just hope and fingers crossed bachmann do a re run and soon that would may be putt a stop to this sort of practice

thanks guys every one has been really helpful as I only started this post yesterday I will give the e mail address a go cheers kev
