    Some nice coverage of the magnesite wagons flows which ended in 1982 on this IRRS video. Some other interests might be the fuel oil wagons and 1950s built CIE coaches

    There is a plethora of them about at the moment. I'm thinking of selling some of my stuff!
  3. DiveController
    That's superb. I did ask them for a UG (fingers crossed)

    One for MM, one for IRM, one for Provincial wagons ........... Dave, I think you may have only one left after that I think they're called cattle wagons, JB

    Very authentic looking. Great job!

    No, the 1356 series coaches were built about 1953-55 and I'm sure JHB is correct about the final withdrawal dates of the Woolwich locos about 1960. A hooded van would be a nice addition for luggage or a full parcel/brake 2700-2765 Series Hooded Van Luggage Van Mayner Brass Kit Model All these are Mayner built

    You won't need a tin (steam heating) van if you used the Sheepy Steam Power but one of these 3101 series babies wold be required if you use an early diesel The four 3153- series had both and weighed in a a hefty 30T even though only 30' long, hence needed a third axle. Didn't all gen vans have double generators for redundancy?

    Looking good, Tony. Layout is coming on well

    Excellent Ciaran. Will be clicking on that as soon as I'm sober. Happy St. Patrick's Day from the US!

    PM sent, Tom

    Not to worry. I'll be happy if I ever get the U with a new motor and so forth. I guess demand will determine if they do another run or not. Thanks
  13. DiveController
    Whoops, my mistake. I'm still waiting a U, which was was I was thinking about in my mind Not gone for the UG yet

    Nothing here yet ..... but I'm not sure which batch is being produced right now and where I am on the production schedule. I hope they took heed of the balancing issues and tweaked the model

    The website isn't doing you guys any favors right now

    Peter what track and especially points are you using. Hornby are not very highly rated by most who have used them and can be more problematic than others. Peco is one of the preferred commonly available points. I should be mixable with any straight and curves from other manufacture provided it is all code 100 track (or whatever). Leslie, is this an electrical problem? DC or DCC and how is it wired. To lose traction mechanically the wheels on the loco or the track would have to be out of balance or a combination of both at that particular place on the layout

    Fantastic clip, Sulzer! This era has such variety it's just asking for some more stock to be available for it. So many things on this video too numerous to mention, laminate composites, Parks royals, C class, leopards, ranks grain wagons, top'n'tail Hunslets, Guinness tubs and tanktainers yard cranes, brake laminates, tin vans, railcars Weak at the knees here, lads ...... and it's not the wine Goodnight

    You should try both, Peter (that's a pseudonym, I'm sure;)) Longer carriages may have problems own tighter radii but smaller wagons and short wheelbase locos will need to be tested over points to ensure a smooth run and lack of any electrical problems

    Donal Murray's book on the GSR has pictures of both 385 (broad gauge) and 395 (narrow gauge) on p.78. The West Clare must only have had narrow gauge passengers to fit the same number of passengers into a railcar with one window less per side and a car that was 54" shorter Wrt the PW one, the door is open and obscures the profile view but it certainly seems to be no more than 4 windows per side with running boards only on the front door. I'm not sure if there is a second door on it at all. Is that IRS Drewry book available still?
  20. DiveController
    This broad gauge Drewry railcar is shorter and without a livery other than its own timbers. This one is for PW work It would seem that had to be hand cranked too?

    Thanks, JB
  22. DiveController
    Thanks, John. Were they filled from above and discharged from the pipes beneath?
  23. DiveController
    The O' Dea shots are amazingly clear and you can see the cap on what I'm presuming is a filler/discharge pipe? under the chassis on both sides, T'd into the tank above. One of the O' Dea pictures has the hose attached on 25008 and warning signs of the thin shell on 25009. Where were the heating coils and what supplied steam when they were in transit?

    Aaaand,.. now one can understand why Brexit was carried. Anyway, the 'Bay had been quite off the wall lately with very large sums bid for almost everything model railway related. I haven't even bid on anything in a couple of months, not that I really need anything, I suppose....

    Was JB able to clarify when tat photo was taken?
