    Excellent shots as always Ernie but have the say that the TPO is fantastic with the collecting apparatus still in use/in place! Would anyone happen to know the origin of that 6w? TPO, maybe GSWR? TIA

    Amazing rake of 2 dozen bubbles! This is post 1994 IE era with the bubbles sporting ivory tanks and black chassis (all of which are completed obscured by cement!)
  3. DiveController
    Can you post a link to that video, would be interested to see... ?
  4. DiveController
    Now that's more like it!

    Whats the origin of the last 4w XP wagon?

    HI Richie, Gunsmoke is the word I was searching for and I certainly remember getting old photos processed myself decades ago and varying degree of variability from reality as determined by the camera, film and processor.

    Thanks for that, Fran. It's not easy to make out the chassis color in old photos and I had to brighten mine significantly also and came to the same conclusion. Thanks for that photo of the unloading though. I would have to say that the grey in all the photos seem to have a 'blue steel' (pardon the pun) appearance which I also see in the CADs on the IRModels site. Is the photo at the top of the thread the finished grey as this seems different to most photos I've seen (which are few)

    Grey for me but didn't the slate grey have a grey chassis or that's just for the mockup? They look nice thought, really crisp. Really happy to see these coming

    The plough being modeled very closely to prototype, surely the question should be whether 16mm track would foul the inside of the plough particularly on unconventionally tight non-prototypical curves?

    I too was hoping for some CIE before re-runs ....
  11. DiveController
    Would be interested in the complete kit as not at the level of other with regards to that skillset
  12. DiveController
    Not everyone has the ability to attend swap meets and find niche Irish products with facility, hence eBay exists and certainly cheaper than hopping a boat to reach Stillorgan if you reside in the UK for example.
  13. DiveController
    In that case, I'd like to commit voter fraud and belatedly vote for the slate grey again

    Was there some issue that prompted the toughened windscreens? How did they differ physically from the originals?
  15. DiveController
    More likely it'll go back on at GBP100 instead of 1,100. Still a pretty stiff price at that!
  16. DiveController
    I’m sorry for the late question on this thread @warb but do you happen to know what year this photo was taken?
  17. DiveController
    Other than Cork Kent itself? Unfortunately PukeBucket has pulled some of his wonderful photos of his model (unless one cares to be extorted by them)
  18. DiveController
    ?
  19. DiveController
    Always interested in tankers. Do you know time period when these were used, 80s? EDIT: Hold on, I just realized there's a whole parallel thread on here
  20. DiveController
    Well, it's interesting that only a couple of votes separate Accurascale and longer standing manufacturers such as Rails of Sheffield

    Haven't been on the site this week. Just found out about this. Rake of cement grey please! ... although I'm not surprised by the Irish cement logo voting. I have one pack of these just for nostalgia/display but that's where it'll end for me. It's nice to see that this is being considered so that the bubbles are not 'gone forever' That's a good point Noel. I have orange and CIE ivory ready for a mixed rake, but I hadn't though of that. I'm not sure I've seen a picture of a mixed rake of slate grey & newly introduced orange
  22. DiveController
    I'm not sure if it would be a viable small project or not (like a Rawie, I suppose) but it would probably be helpful if one could get complete common Irish bogies such as the commonwealth bogie to retrofit to existing/future rtr and scratch/kit built instead of trying to build these individually. BTW at the risk of echoing others comments, it's an exquisite build and I'v been watching this thread with interest. Some great information regarding battery boxes and vacuum cylinders and great prototypical and model photos
  23. DiveController
    Done
  24. DiveController
    Odd, that form is usually more prevalent here in the US. I haven’t heard anything from them. Must drop an email
  25. DiveController
    A long rake or two will do very nicely indeed! .... which would mean I’d need a black, black & yellow and a rebuilt loco to haul them
