OO Irish freight wagons, vans etc
DiveController replied to Paddy Mac Namara's topic in Irish Models
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 -
Well, it's interesting that only a couple of votes separate Accurascale and longer standing manufacturers such as Rails of Sheffield

IRM Bubbles Almost Sold Out. Would you like more?
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in General Chat
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 -
CIE Laminate Coaches - Worsley Works - ECMbuild in 4mm
DiveController replied to murrayec's topic in Irish Models
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 -
Odd, that form is usually more prevalent here in the US. I haven’t heard anything from them. Must drop an email
-
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
-
If you consider that the orange bubbles only existed in that livery for less than a decade (barring a transition period) while the ivory livery endured for a further three decades, I'd say the orange bubbles have acquitted themselves well in terms of sales. 'Glad' they have sold out for you!
-
I’ve some Mayner brass just arrived from Kiwiland too
-
Smart looking livery with the green on white I think
-
Nice shot, Dave! I seem to remember someone stating the Tara logo was in yellow or gold but that definitely looks grey on white when new and pristine
-
ooooh, nice shot Warb.iS that part of a traverser for emptying the ore? Looks like that overhead lifts the roof off or secures to the wagon on the four top anchor points?
-
If anyone has pictures in blue livery I'd be interested in seeing that please Only ones I can think of off the top of my head and one from Ciaran Cooney Collection http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway Stations N/Navan/IrishRailwayStations.html#Navan_20110321_003_CC_JA.jpg

Irish Railway Models 21mm Conversions
DiveController replied to DiveController's topic in Irish Models
Great shots, really shows the difference on the comparison. -
Sorry Bos, I didn't understand that
-
Yes, that's not right. I'm glad you;re getting a replacement. Hopefully no issues with that or we're all in trouble
-
Could;t open the video link

Agree. I know some of the prices listed are ridiculous but isn't this the bargain thread guys?

EM/OO Fine standards applied to Irish 5'3" gauge track.
DiveController replied to Mayner's topic in Irish Models
That a pretty big range 'something greater than 24mm' - 48 mm -
How timely. I just checked the site yesterday Still late 2018/2019. So maybe for Christmas then Is that commercially available or had to be mixed specially?

Nice job with the weathering but I feel like even the light weathering is overdone as most of these coaches were kept in pretty good condition as far as I recall ( always subject to user error , of course). However, he fact that I personally haven't actually done any physical weathering to any of my own stock probably diminishes the value of this opinion somewhat.....

EM/OO Fine standards applied to Irish 5'3" gauge track.
DiveController replied to Mayner's topic in Irish Models
If only someone would build 21mm flexitrack and even one basic short prototypical crossover (which is very large by all accounts, let alone the express crossover) or a basic non-prototypical crossover (most Hornby, Peco Bachmann crossovers fit into this category), it would make entry into 21mm gauge so much easier, Fine for fiddle yards and small layout but not practical to build anything larger than this form scratch -
Are there any better photos of that livery variant that has been described above?
-
If it’s just that you want to protect the the ‘copyright’ to the photos a little (c) McGartland or (c) GNRi pseudonym will go a long way as Ernie says. I’ve enjoyed your contributions to the forum for the area that is close to your heart so I wouldn’t be dissuaded from posting if there is a viable alternative. Irish modeling is a relatively small group as we’re constantly reminded and every time someone leaves we are the poorer for it.
