    I bought a substantial number of As based on the variety of liveries making a rerun unlikely in the near term. Unlikely to buy another and would keep further funds for better variety in the forms of B class, the long-lived early CIE stock, early rail cars or a steam locomotive(s)

    Sure, you never know what would have been tacked onto the back of a Belfast-Cork Enterprise

    Can anyone GSR era identify the vehicles here, Ford Model 78? well before my time for sure
  4. DiveController
    Quite right Its inside the wall rather than outside which would have been flush to the asphalt Yes indeed this is the location I was thinking of but scahalane having modeled this area extensively is quite correct on the previous photo location

    Are you able to date these for me? (year) Alright, you're 1/3 of a step ahead as I don't have the red Anglia lol It's outside of Kent Station on the south side, Horgan's Quay. Rails from Cork Yard extended over the Quay road to 2 or three sidings right one the waters edge. If you go to Google Earth, find Kent go south to the key there a big excavator sitting on the rails

    It was the last one to bear the name Henry Ford & Son Ltd. rather than Ford Motor Corporation

    Wonder if someone could identify as many of the cats from right to left. the Anglia is obvious but I’m not so no so good on Zephyrs, Zodiacs, Prefects and Mk 1 Consuls etc
  8. DiveController
    That would be me! Nabbed the last one thanks to a heads up from some cat lover among the Canaries thanks

    John, is there any coach or kit that is currently available that would work well with these, the original 60' kit intended to work with your overlays is OOS

    Tornado Reloaded? …. Or would it need and electric motor?
  11. DiveController
    The Magnesites are beautiful wagons, I already have two rakes

    If I understood correctly there is rumor of a steam offering from IRM. This will tell you all you need to know about the future of modeling 21mm .
  13. DiveController
    … and by kettles you mean steam powered locomotives, right?
  14. DiveController
    Do you mean ACC-ura-scale versus a-CURE -a-scale? I had assumed the company was named for the accuracy of its models versus being a CURE for model manufacturing. The railway magazine hosts seem to favor the latter pronunciation

    Hattons sent me my trunk items to USA last week with no charge. Probably needed the space

    The earlier GSR bogie stock mostly had 57’ under frames on compartment and clerestory coaches except for a few unique coaches on the Rosslare boat train with 60’ and 66’ frames. Later coach production switched to 60’ which persisted into only a few early CIE era coaches after which 61’6 became the standard length for decades to follow. I’m a long way from any of my references books and I’ll try to post more detail when I can, but the vast majority of CIE coaching stock after c1953, PRs and laminates to follow were all on the Inchicore built 61’6” chassis

    OK, OK,.... despite my earlier post regarding the lack of motive power for this era, I had forgotten how good the coaching stock from GSR look and yes I would obviously buy a rake or two if they were available. I'll be honest though, I'd be happier if IRM had taken a stab at these rather than Hattons. So the expectation would be a rake of various 4 and 6 wheel bogies sufficient to make the Cork-Rosslare Boat Train. I have a red-lined Black loco that has been sitting idle for a decade Actually Hattons could throw in a Pullman while they're at it

    . poltergeist is actually just his eBay handle. You can find your stuff there
  19. DiveController
    Just corrected the typo in your post. You’re welcome
  20. DiveController
    As would we all had there even been a timely announcement of a pending alternative which doesn't seem likely if you're purchasing these
  21. DiveController
    I understand the livery delay issue but pictures would speak volumes here if that were possible. I would be even more interested in GSR/GSWR if traction was available but right now that would probably amount to a OOworks J15. I liked the SSM GSWR Maroon bogie coaches but never got round to making any. In the absence of any steam traction option for the period realistically I would probably pass on GSR although I have one of everything green ordered in this range and a couple of BnT brakes
  22. DiveController
    78 years of use would have out it at late GSR or inception of CIE
  23. DiveController
    Oddly in the Uk it would probably haven been listed as part of the original GSWR and they have to find a work around. I don’t think Ireland is that thoughtful in preserving heritage

    Read this entire thread only to find your post at the end , Dave. This is the most informative post regarding liveries. I realized the bowling ball livery is actually probably the only one that ran with the last of anything Orange This is so not my era as you know but as an ex-pat when these were introduced I don’t have any real nostalgia for them. I do like the look of the RTE Big Music week ( only nostalgic way to justify a purchase ) but I’m confused about the intercity ribbon livery post 2013. Is this when IE went I’ve to the current logo?
  25. DiveController
    Can someone explain the liveries on these? The post 2013 livery for example seems to have both intercity ribbons and rubix cube icons?
