This is a huge disappointment and PitA. I got a little out of sequence and thought it was going one be project 3 but #4 would have been fine. Personally I wanted a couple of rakes in Supertrain. Of all the models so lamented on this site. Absolutely agree, it's' not going to happen. As for Push/pull .... I'm not sure. That being the case, wouldn't we be more likely to have seen ballasts in original CIE livery, 12 orange bubbles and six with the black chassis, Taras in blue initially rather than bauxite, and I doubt that Supertrain would be preferred above the later IC livery

Did these arrive and sell out?

Wow! Very impressive, Noel!

Jim Poots did an E class but I have no idea if he has any intention of a re-run at some point. I would certainly be in the market for a couple of Es also

Given the safety record, these must certainly be ambulance coaches on the Knock special? You're sure about the year then?

The one on eBay was 0141A which is the preserved version, newer LED lights etc repainted into original livery. Wrenneire’s 188 is probably more what you after

@jhb171achillSo just too clarify this is the post '55 lighter green?

The were all delivered in silver along with 4w sorting vans/TPOs (iirc we discussed them before). I have some photos but don't know who to credit but someone will put one up I'm sure

Correct, HLV in green in Mayners This is the photo I had in mind (thanks, Ernie) but BOTH are luggage vans, one in silver and one in green. Luggage vans ('hooded vans') has a central pair of door whereas the HLV had TWO pairs of doors fore and aft of the centrally located boiler with exhaust vents on the roof of the HLV. This is best seen in Ernie's second photo where the third van from the loco on right is a HLV in green (double doors, exhaust barely visible because of the angle) followed by the silver LV next to the BnT. I believe the HLV still had capacity for 3T of luggage and were probably used year round even when heating was not required and can be seen in many photos taken in June/July. However as you say, may have to be taken in for maintenance before the autumn again.

There is a photo in my mind of both a HLV and a hooded van with other stock. One is in silver (the HLV I think) and the luggage van in green. I thought it was Ernie's but I couldn't find. Anyway, the 1962 IRRS tour to Ardnacrusha has a green eau de nil lined luggage van (Rails through the West p12). John's photo above is of the HLV (nice photo)

Good info GSV and thanks for the photo Wrenn. Any others photos?

Complete

I'm glad there is a fix. That's some of the worst wobbling I've seen in a while. I have 6 sitting somewhere but have have not had a chance to run them so fingers crossed. Otherwise, very nice cosmetically but running is a must

Try PM to Leslie of Provincial wagons

Are there any plans to produce 12 individual numbers in the orange bubbles?

Hit 'Edit Post' then use the third icon form the right, then upload from a url or computer. Check the local upload checkbox so it is uploaded onto the IRM server and not stored on a 3rd party site that may restrict use in the future like PukeBucket did recently

I'm sure you'll get to the root of all this after a thorough investigation

Better now than when the layout is in it! That would be soul destroying.

Good luck to all! We were hit hard by Hurricane Harvey, my in-laws in Tampa by Irma and now my parents by Ophelia all in one year! It's moving quickly and into colder waters so hope for the best

Not sure. Apparently 6,400hp from the NIR 111s was certainly enough to damage a coupling. I'm sure it would depend on train weight also

Have you considered that she wanted to buy this, needed to give you a motivation to approve the purchase and now you 'owe her one' as a result?

You can also order them from the RPSI website

I don't see the attachments although obviously others seem to

Normally I'd say green would be a great alternative for you but given the relative rarity of the black and yellow, that has to be it. Most of the blacks had no panel and a red buffer beam, whereas others such as C211, C226 and re-engined B233 had a yellow panel/red bufferbeam. C203 has a YELLOW buffer beambeam in addition to the panel which was an very unusual look if you like to model some oddities
