    Yup, saw that coming .... Isn't it an N masquerading as a Irish K1? Aren't there are a few minor difference ladder on the tender etc?

    This seems to be a 'recreational hazard' when posting with any of these sites. They're always free and accessible until they're not and you have a lot invested at that point. All the images can be uploaded onto the IRM server as I understand from Stephen by checking on the 'local copy' rather than referencing a third party host directly. Any link breakage, file structuring, change of terms & conditions and ......

    Mark's reply to that question in 2012

    Ah, well spotted, Jason. There was only one iirc

    yes. Sorry, that was my fault. I was referring back to Rich's post above without making that clear to, well, anyone else, I suppose The first coach in this train seems to be a first/composite. Looks to be only seven vs. the usual 8

    Would they be suitable for a certain brass kit due for release late 2017, a MGWR Ks/GSR 650 Class with superheated round topped boiler round canopy cab, open coal rails tender as running 1916-Mid 1930s or in its later CIE condition?

    I missed your post Roxy. Like that garden railway. Nice job and well done, right down to the appropriately position fig/?rose leaf?
  10. DiveController
    True. Many unusual pairings of locos or coaches were to rescue failed trains of simply as stock transfers The first coach in that train seems to be a first/composite

    Rest easy, Dave. I think he was referring to BULK CEMENT on the IVORY livery with the black CIE logo. There is only one photo that I'm aware of showing that. In the grey livery, BULK CEMENT branding was all over the wagons as you rightly point out. Wonder how it made it onto the ivory on so few wagons? A number of them look a little darker through the rake. Lighting, cloud cover, older more weathered wagons, even some in orange depending when the photo was taken (although I suspect not)

    They're not that easy to respray accurately with the silver framing around each window. Most resprayers want to respray only from the BR IC coaches masking the centre area but the color in that area on those coaches is more of a charcoal IMO rather than black. Yes, there are silver decals available for the windows. Still leave the doors...

    Looks, moves and sounds well. Very nice job, Graham! Enjoyed that video

    THat's a shame. I had picked up on the hints last year and was disappointed when some announcement eventually did not follow. I'd like a whole rake in Supertrain livery to be honest, for those of you who think it's drab, that's fine, but these coaches looked very well in that livery Yes, I have to agree with that. It might not be the best economic sense for a manufacturer but I can tell you there will be many modelers who come into the hobby in the next few years who will be happy that some are still available other than through the 'Bay or similar at a premium price

    Agree. Maybe a mod could split it off into a separate tread entitled Dublin's Tram Depots or similar?

    Leyland Lion LT6 GSR were the same dimensions as the LT5As as I understand it Enough on here so you don;t have to buy the book if you prefer not to https://books.google.com/books?id=D-hKCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT125&dq=leyland+lt6+history+leyland+bus&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi028vEvs_UAhVHeSYKHfj6CKgQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=leyland%20lt6%20history%20leyland%20bus&f=false

    Nice, Nelson. Not sure they've looked like that in a very long time...
  18. DiveController
    Yes......... first let me see the money:) (PS couldn't resist. I'll PM you the details)

    Cyril McIntyre's CIE BUSES 1945-1987 has a reasonable view of the right side of the NP class on p6 and an N on p12.
  20. DiveController
    Looking well now!
  21. DiveController
    Timing is everything, I suppose. The second bid was mine and a lovely little runner she is too It's been on there and probably will be for a while. It's from the set in an American box
  22. DiveController
    They're pretty old, early CIE, maybe GSR. I presume this is the finished product you refer to but no luck with a photo of the original I'm afraid
  23. DiveController
    Fantastic resource, Ernie. Thanks for the time you have put into providing it
  24. DiveController
    Tread softly because you tread on dreams WBY

    Looks like it was originally mounted through the base but is now hung with a Phillips screw though the wing
