  1. You're not that far off. NIR purchased 6 C Class locomotives from CIE between 1986/87. Similar in appearance, but a smaller less powerful version of the A.
  2. Ivory, covered in cement spillage which has built up over time.
  3. Just noticed that last week Noel. Wasn't sure if it could be booked separately or was part of the package included in International Railtour. Thanks for the info
  4. Looks great Noel. Looking forward to getting mine up and running. An extremely dirty no.156 is waiting patiently in the siding, ready to take charge of the completed ballast train
  5. Raging I missed this. Looked like a great day out. I'll just have to wait until the next one. October's not that far away I suppose
  6. Great footage as always Ernie. Interesting shunting movements from 229 at Limerick Junction before continuing on. Always nice to see the Baby GM's in action at Drogheda, once a hive of activity with cement etc.
  7. Superb Tony, this just gets better and better as it progresses.
  8. A little late to the party on this one gents. But after a week away in the sun with Her Indoors, i finally got to open up that little box that was waiting for me when I got home. And I have to say I was blown away when I opened it.The detail on these babies is just phenomenal, and in my opinion the bar has been raised yet again. Along with all the obvious structures needed, it takes balls to go out and do something like this, especially when you take into consideration how small a market it is to operate in. Again, thank you IRM for making this possible. Respect.
  9. Nice shot of 071 & 088 on the Navan Branch. Always a reliable spot for some GM activity.
  10. Strange, very very strange.
  11. That's a seriously impressive piece of work Tony. Really enjoying watching this progress.
  12. Ooohhhh I've just had a vision of something very tasty. A Class, IR livery with dayglow panels. Hauling a rake of IRM 42' flats.. Bell's of course. Jasus, I'm starting to foam at the mouth. Time for a cold shower me thinks.
  13. Tasty, very very Tasty.
  14. As Fran has already said, the recession was the final nail in the coffin. But cement movements had already began to slow in the mid 2000's. And this was in the middle of the largest building boom this country had ever seen. Says alot about IE's relentless move away from freight at the time.
  15. Tony, this is as close as you'll get from Wills. I would recommend you go with Broithe's suggestion and scribe some blank sheet to get the look your after.
  16. That reply has me even more confused than I was previously. I'll say no more. Anyway back on topic, really looking forward to the arrival of these beauties and finally getting to hook them up to my ballast wagons. To have a completed ballast train of such high quality running on our layouts is a dream come true for alot of us on here. It's just getting better and better.
  17. This layout continues to amaze me.
  18. Precision at its best. Top notch modelling as always Popeye
  19. A word of advice for Noel. Maybe now would be a good time to hang up that piece of ladies clothing you're prone to wearing. I know you say they never will, but just incase these little yellow beauties do manage to blow your skirt up, not having it on at the time will save us the trauma of seeing what's underneath.
  20. Made a start earlier today on the frame that carries the piping.
  21. One word... Masterpiece.
  22. Any particular reason why you feel clay wouldn't work in 4mm Tony? I've recently began dabbling out of curiosity after watching what David has produced when using it. Whether used on its own, with sheets, or applying to existing buildings. I've found the finish very impressive in the short space of time I've spent modelling with it. And it's been all 4mm by the way.
  23. As far as I know a couple of the ploughs carrying the IR logo could still be seen well into the IE era. So your looking at late 80's until maybe 2005/06.
  24. Lovely scenes Noel. Great to see 112 out and about. It's by far my favourite loco from my own collection of 071/111's. Have to say it's looking particularly well working the timber train
  25. Fantastic news Fran. Really looking forward to these. Thanks for the update.
