    I presume there is not enough capacity on the servers for the site to post these? Unfortunately as time continues to tick by these resources become progressively more invaluable, but I can understand the frustration of having to upload them again having lost them the first time around. I really love the slides that were posted by JW Sutherland and I can imagine that there are others out there with similar fantastic collections that I personally would also love to see.

    Super photos. Really enjoyed the trip back in time!

    It's a quirk of the website that it does not check stock until you try to put it in the cart. Thanks!

    Alas, no! Result on the competition thread

    Same request if surplus to requirements while making room for new Christmas railway items! Thanks!

    Still looking for a few of these buses, especially the AE-06s which I didn't notice come up on eBay as yet. Don't get to the local shows/meets because of location so if anybody knows where I can source these would you please PM me. Thanks, Kevin

    Thought so. Thanks, JB!

    That looks amazing! What are you modeling with, piers and spans?

    When you get to the painting stage some useful comments on RiverSuir's workbench as some just complete there also

    I can't make out the loose shunted wagons at the rear of the rake. Are these wooden open, corrugated bulleids? Thanks

    741 and 748 were withdrawn due to fire and bomb damage, but were built by BREL in 1974. That being the case, presumably 1974/5 would be the earliest that the DTSOs would have come into service with NIR after 5-6 years in service with BR Ref Irish Railways Traction & Travel, Peter Jones, 1st Ed. 1987 111 and 112 went to traffic in Feb 1981, 113 in 1984

    Excellent point, Patrick! Hadn't thought of that

    A CGI, you could inspect the scenery too, JB hehehe

    ... and if not I'm sure there are some SDMRC members on the site who will note the comments made, in addition to the many compliments that have also been made by site members.

    Very impressive, TDR. Really liked that second video:tumbsup:

    752 was a 66 ft 75-seat Driving Trailer Open Standard built originally by BREL (Litchurch Lane Works, Derby) in 1969/70 as Mk2c on B4 bogies and originally BR TSO 5516 753 was a 66 ft 62-seat Driving Trailer Open Standard built originally by BREL in 1969/1970 as Mk2c (BR TSO 5498)

    If I understand your question, 812 and 813 were 66 ft 31-seat Driving Brake Open Standards built originally by BREL in 1969 as Mk2Bs and converted to air-braked push-pull fitted by NIR but I am not sure when the conversion occurred …. which may have been your actual enquiry. Not sure if that helps

    I don't think you're wrong, JB, but I wonder if it's a lack of historical information or an expert like yourself to advise, or possibly failure to realize that green (and orange) has 40 shades. Black and white photos/sepia photos probably don't help and the earlier printing and photographic process may help to muddy the waters further..... just some thoughts

    Hooray!, It's the A class then:tumbsup:...... I think the point would be that if something like a loco was done, it would not want to have (m)any variations on the body design (and a not too intricate design) so no new moulds would be needed only livery changes to recoup the cost with least expense

    Congratulations, John!

    Hmm, Noel beat me to it but I had 'dreamed' that after the fertilizer wagons (which follow the bubble) that sufficient surplus have been put aside to consider a locomotive. The 121 if produced would be well into design/on the market unless of course it is not. The A would by far and away be the most popular diesel to produce. A J15 perhaps but I don;t know if that would be as popular with people buying multiple. That's a given for me if there was a quality A class. At least one of each livery:trains:
  23. DiveController
    JHC, Noel! Are you supplying the Chinese or what?
  24. DiveController
    That's pretty certain, I would have thought

    The glaucoma is under control, Jim. My original post is quoted in your reply above. I thought about it and realized it was 1981 (second edition). The good news is that is just turned up at long last! Threatening to buy another one must've done the trick:banana: Hmmm, not sure why it's sideways. I thought this only happened with iPads and the like….
