True. I realize there's not a lot you can do with wild animals which I suppose obliges IE to protect itself in that regard in any case. Fencing heights relative to the surrounding terrain would have to be significant to keep deer off the line. Deer in your radiator or a big Red in your windscreen isn't a lot of fun, saw that in Scotland a few times. Deer tend to be semi-nocturnal which might account for a an in creased number of strikes in the winter months when services operate for longer without daylight. Cattle of course aren't quite as wary or agile as deer unlike the West of Ireland sheep.

Oh, yes K801. I understand you now. Did the MK2 EGVs have any luggage capacity? The old 4 wheeler heating vans did and I'm pretty sure that most GSVs did.

What I found most 'interesting' is the requirement for IE to secure its existing (for over a century) right of way and its liability when an animal (which should be secured by its owner) wanders onto its tracks. It would be hard to find another party at fault under these laws. So in addition to any repairs, it has to reimburse the owner of the animals. However, do passengers on IE have any right to compensation for delays and consequential losses even in theory? Is a motorist similarly liable or is that the roads authority? I can understand how when a new road/motorway is built there would be an obligation to secure it from animals if it cuts through existing farmland etc. As for motorists infringing on the IE shared right of way at LCs with more than sufficient warning with lights, barriers, signage, fireworks etc. The mind boggles ......

Bell Pack A sold out, next is the CIE containers with only 22 left ( I got a couple extra of them too, very versatile especially the 20ft cubes)

A GSV and 2x Mk EGV?

It used to be leaves, and poor animals deliberately tied to the line on the approach to Glanmire Road north of the tunnel. Poor animals and poorer owners!

OMG, they're out of the boxes, Dave!

IRM are using the Arrive app so you should be able to track on that too. I haven't used it but I'm about to try that Incidentally since this was posted over not he other thread I'm posting the link to the remaining 9 container flat bundles (since Bell Pack A is currently the most limited in quantity) ADDITIONAL LINERS AVAILABLE!!! We're delighted to announce that our factory has come up trumps and managed to get us some additional liner stock to us! These are on sale now and are limited in number, so snap them up quick! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/…/pro…/container-liner-bundle

Just placed my order for the extra bundles. Lucky Friday 13th!

Lovely video, Eamonn. Is that a transfer or is the train en route to pick up the passengers somewhere else? Didn't see anyone other than staff and a familiar face bringing up the rear.

You're right, some good options there https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irish-Traction-Iarnród-Colm-OCallaghan/dp/1445688441/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=irish+traction&qid=1576098071&sr=8-1

The New Year or March is being 'mentioned' as a possibility for the 121 Clas also. Combined shipping from China? To be fair, there will probably be more cash available by then when the pay checks and CCs have recovered form the Christmas splurge

Looks like the IRM's A Class is pushed back to March (may arrive with the 121 after all)

May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb... and I do like sardines! And same for me ... Here goes BnT surviving on 121 into March 1975. Sorry, link only in case I have Jonathan Allen on my case and I'm sharing sardines with Edo https://www.flickr.com/photos/152343870@N07/26278229928/in/photolist-2gYzGH9-T4U17i-WE5ktq-ekPNu2-2arjFys-G37NeN-q8F3UZ-266z9UA-Zuk7Es-RMgZao-RfKHJM-2ddJqoK-EvVccT-Ajm8cM-XETbe9-J6HMoq-FQgVpc-22vbbkU-22vbbfy-hxMBfD and just to contradict myself we have 112 with bogie ferts (admittedly much later 1990, maybe that was when she was loaned to CIE?) https://www.flickr.com/photos/152343870@N07/41413527522/in/photolist-ekPNu2-2arjFys-G37NeN-q8F3UZ-266z9UA-2ddJqoK-EvVccT-Ajm8cM-Zuk7Es-XETbe9-J6HMoq-FQgVpc-22vbbkU-22vbbfy-hxMBfD-KkZPRP-2fhHcwV-oah299-2ebPpNo-S1KUh6-pEtTHF-24oZQkA-amHk4U-pWE8Vg-aVJuu6-bZD2mY-23nG1Xu-aEQssV-ejt8FF-R53JLj-JayCvB-PrHNht-s1p1N8-bYHvtU-d4zmM7-rs5W8o-TgDCP7-2aiuipA-2cd3GSf-jPfBhH-qMUYWT-d4zptY-rsEh6U-MCsw5g-J6HMYy-bZD8Y1-25qBWDb-G9pxnF-28brda1-cnndP5

AH, but that's across from The Tram bar (and just down the street from Coakham's books!)

Yes, fantastic album and reference for anyone modeling earlier stock, actually we could do with some more of them rtr too!

Not sure if there is a main thread on the BGH but there hasn't been much discussion about it on the site since its inception (other than photographic updates, of course). I was just wondering how this venture is faring overall in terms of appeal, sales, passenger numbers, future viability or anything else relevant?

So many variations of 124. Are these from different eras just in the IE livery? Some variations on the steps buffers and rails. Dave, what's the box 'forward' of the cab on the middle body, last photo?

Peru (above) Volume 2 is available on Abebooks UK for a reasonable price @jhb171achill https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=9781900095365&n=100121501&cm_sp=mbc-_-ISBN-_-new Volume 1 is on Amazon but you probably don't want to know the price (well, double this one) (I'd create a want on Abebooks for Vol 1 if you wish) The book from the website, a little pricey (but I don't know the original cost), maybe worth it to you? https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?cm_sp=SearchF-_-topnav-_-Results&kn=0992862205&sts=t Will you be needing any GL8 derivatives from EMD for this railway at all?

I thought someone had mentioned the sugar cube speakers but not sure if that was speculation or fact. They are small and when compared to other speakers by a forum member at some point in the past seemed to have performed best (opinion)

you should be able to copy and past it. Maybe store it in the app for the carrier and enable updates?

A bulkier than expected chip might cause problem in a relatively small loco right enough

Sound chip or slot for the chip/blanker?

No, indeed. You'd need to be on the UB40 or reside in China. Wrong time zone here, I'm afraid. Worm has vanished! Incidentally how is there a waiting list as long as Fran's arm or some combined IRM arm?

Thanks, Ernie @Irishswissernie. I was hoping you'd post that one. I alway feel like I'm always putting some part of your collection on here. Sometime in 1974 at Albert Quay, CBSCR then a goods yard for CIE until North Esk opened c. 1976 and as Boskonay demonstrated above you can run a rake with an NIR loco if you're stuck! Coleraine c. 1984 ....although 113 seems to be the most photographed of the NI locos with bogie ferts
