    Great detail on Aaron's containers, goes very well with the skeletal, I think. They also look well unloaded to show off the detail on the flat itself
  2. DiveController
    Very nice! Does it come with the container?

    My 'order' has been sent to you, Leslie

    Excellent job, Kieran, when compared to Leslie's photograph

    Hi John, I would take one of each at a minimum. Will revert. Any pricing for multiples? Thanks, K

    Noel, it's a nice job and I'm sure she'll run well. I have to agree with Richie that the side frames would benefit from being replaced which would give the best of both worlds. She is a bit plain on top and will look nice when numbered and weathered a little. Nice job though

    Spot on, jb. Two stone or quarter of 112 lbs

    I believe that the brake standard 1904 and the 1429-1443 series laminate #1442 were fitted with storage heaters to work that branch. I'm open to correction especially on the latter in the 80s. If so, John's 1904-1908 etches would be correct for the former, and Irish Freight models does a reasonably correct version of the latter (when it's in season)

    Moved this from Noel's paintshop thread where it was an aside Finally found one (that I had seen before and did't realize the significance of it at the time). 18829 in the light? green, black chassis, some letters under the number likely P&T and something else, illegible, Limerick, c. 1962. It's not mine to post unfortunately. As JHB said, he has photos to post in an upcoming book

    We've just had some spring storms which is usually followed about week later by a huge resurgence in the mosquito population. The complicated Mosquito magnet I used before was a waste of time but I run a Dynatrap from early, pretty much all season long and there is nothing smaller than a hornet to be seen. Has been much better last couple of seasons. The large one will clear a good half acre or more using a UV bulb and a solid state catalyst that produces Co2. Electricity os the only consumable and I run it dusk-dawn on a sensor. Sorry for the modelling aside

    Very nice indeed!

    It is beyond me why Ireland still has so much difficulty taking advantage of this as a tourist attraction, preserving railways, or housing the likes of the Fry Model railway

    A chance for interested parties to see the the OOworks UG in the flesh!
  14. DiveController
    Please. Looking forward to it

    Thanks for the correction and explanation, David. I suppose IE could strengthen with the Craven in limited circumstances, return to non-gangwayed coaching, in summer during daylight hours, though this must have been an exceptional circumstance.

    Leslie, will you have any of the OOworks GNR locos to show off your GNR rolling stock with at Bangor?
  17. DiveController
    Three Dutch vans were rebuilt to run with the ex-BR Mk2A rakes of the early 1990s. The original builds could run with any vacuum braked stock such as the Mk2D Aircon stock
  18. DiveController
    PM sent, Leslie. I would definitely be interested in one. Can't believe I missed it! I suppose my appreciation of the GNR has also grown over the last few years hence the new interest in the UG
  19. DiveController
    Can you clarify what you're referring to? I wasn't aware of Craven/CIE-built GSVs? Thanks in advance

    Now hopefully we don't get the usual plethora of unhelpful comments regarding IFM models but I think Wrenns comments are fair and I'm inclined to agree (with you both, I think) that the 6-wheel HLV doesn't capture that distinctive styling of the prototype. This is one of my favorite vans from that period and this model fails to capture my heart. The TPO isn't bad and since there are no rtr alternatives to choose from,... well, enough said. Still happy to see more prototypical builds from the talented scratch builders on here. Put em up, lads

    Although they were related chronologically and by design, with my limited knowledge of the GNR I had forgotten that. They outwardly are so dissimilar to the U which lost its tanks, was shortened then lengthened by the addition of a tender. The T1/T2s never received the beautiful sky blue livery of the express passengers locos, being confined to shorter suburban workings for the most part. In terms of era they contemporaries of the U class, whereas the UGs did not appear for 2 decades after the U class. Lovely model, Patrick!
  22. DiveController
    Ok, JB, many thanks. Please post or PM K
  23. DiveController
    Many thanks, Noel and Happy Easter everyone!
  24. DiveController
    That's the Irish way, like IE with 201
  25. DiveController
    Feeders to each length in the middle and to each points. Points may nee insulating joiners on the no-stock rail. Good instructions online of how to wire the points depending if our using switches or by hand
