Oh and I almost forgot! It was a VERY merry Christmas.......

Good stuff. They're a fantastic wagon. I'm sure it won't be long before you have them weathered up

A good productive weekend - 19 wagons worked on

That's a little more than productive, that's amazing! I'm still trying to get back amongst the pile that has been sitting on the bench over two years now.

I think that just about covers it, but you missed the roofs. 

Don't encourage him. He'll be out with a ladder the next time.

Forgive the large number of photos, but I got very excited. I'll review them on the PC another day and delete some if necessary.

Delete none of them. Great to have a thread with various containers, pictured from different positions. 

This, I really like...

And who the Hell is poor old Arie van Donge?

Going by the name. Probably had a short lived career in the "adult " film industry, before making the move into transport.

On page 40 of Philip Horton's Locomotives and Recollections I spotted this, quite a small photo so sorry about the orientation but was the best way to get a good quality shot with my phone..

Its a Transamerica spider tank like the one @Arran released a few years back https://shop.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=72_73&product_id=171 on hire to BELL lines, and with a BELL line logo

Great find. I picked up a couple of these recently, with the slim hope they might have been used here at some stage. Always nice to see something confirmed in print.

Sound fitted Union pacific SD 70 ACE 8718 meets some of its Irish cousins on Tara junction

Beautiful looking model, Noel. The SD40-2 has always been a firm favourite of mine, but the 70ACe has surpassed it recently. It's an absolute beast of a locomotive.  

Better late than never. Some shots from October's Western Liner railtour. 

Credit as always to the RPSI. Another very enjoyable day out.

Some small amount of progress on the internal details within the large goods shed

Fantastic stuff. Really coming together now. Sometimes the interior of a building can be overlooked, but this just proves it's always worth the extra effort.  

Love this shot. The view captures the fertiliser bags but also the H beams. Great work. 

Happy Christmas to all IRM members. Best wishes and happy modelling in 2023. 

Definitely interested in these.

Passing the same spot in the other direction two years later, B141 has the 11:40 goods for Cork as it slows to enter Castletown West.

Lovely stuff, Jonathan. The extension is progressing nicely. Enjoying watching it develop.

Sun was on the wrong side for lighting, and the camera over-heated shortly after passing, but still, we got it...

I see the stalking is still in full swing 

Savage stuff. The signal box looks the business. Without doubt, my favourite era.

This shot says it all...

Love the smoke coming from it

Ditto! 

Christ, I thought I'd gone colour blind in one eye when I logged in just now. Very nice, like the look of this.

Are you sure you're not jealous?

Yes, I'm jealous. Happy now

Also saw a lonely tanktainer after leaving the Repsol on Thursday

Borderline stalking now, Dave. This thread is getting out of hand.

Stores oil former IE tank wagons 607A and 633A have now arrived in their  new home at Maam cross

Great to see the tankers living on. Nice spot if, for some reason, a certain manufacturer ever decided they needed to take a few photos, measurements etc for let's say, research purposes. Just saying...

Don't be jealous!

Strangely enough, that wasn't first thing that crossed my mind. But now that you mention it...

but handy for a trunk-filler like me.

I'm not sure what way to take that comment, Dave. 

Lovely work. Really like the streaks in particular. 

Bruised and battered. Lovely stuff. 

Can't beat a touch of sarcasm. Brilliant
