  1. Some good videos of the daily workings on the railway:tumbsup:
  2. PM sent
  3. He should read the obituaries in the morning. If he's not there, it's time to get out of bed and get modelling
  4. 8 men and some bars versus modern PW equipment ...hmmm
  5. The problem is that there are no non-generator units available to make up a full rake unless you paint your own anyway
  6. .. so you can go and blacken it again There are not quite as many shots of the roof detail on the prototype, but mostly they show the exhaust in a rust color combined with a fair bit of blackening on the silver even when the loco itself was fairly clean
  7. Thanks, Garfield. I forgot to post the link for him
  8. New Irish Lines/ Irish Lines Issue 13 has a drawing of a C1 (1934) railcar if that's any help
  9. Great testing, Noel and very useful for those who will want to ballast track
  10. Glover, these look SUPERB! Very nice. Love that post. Really great stuff.
  11. Where does one acquire these little artifacts from time to time?
  12. Thanks for that, lads. I realized the bottom LNER was probablely genuine but the CB&PR is a fake too? I'd be happy with a GS&WR one just to have a little something:)
  13. No, I spotted that too. There seem to have been at least 16 of these things yet no other photos that I have found anywhere. They have obviously had use but there appears to be quite a few potentially open pipes etc. Would these be large enough to be from a lorry and they just happen to be headed for the scrap-yard on the flat wagons?
  14. Yes indeed, Kieran. Very nice sets, and the more I see these the more they grow on me
  15. How does one confirm the authenticity of various pieces, particularly signs, which seem to turn up from time to time. It's hard to be sure that they are the genuine item or something that somebody has just cast a week ago
  16. Very good news, indeed!
  17. Duplicate from post #8 above Thanks for that, John. What's your reference for the GSWR wagons please? Thanks, K
  18. Many are, since the models were prepaid about October 2015. A nice product but I'll be relieved to finally receive mine
  19. I suspected that centralized distribution was not necessary. Lots of old photos of churns on the platform awaiting pickup, at least when branch lines existed. Great map by the way
  20. I think I have also seen some bulk milk containers mounted on flats as jhb suggests. Finding a photo might be a problem as I can't remember where. They can't have been too plentiful so JM poses an interesting question EDIT: Haven't sampled the contents but this would seem to be one I was thinking of from Brian Flannigan The first tank are sitting on 25201- series 12T flats (1962) with hand wheel and the second I cannot see but it is has the traditional brake lever
  21. Lovely shot, Tony. Is that the Omagh goods shed spanned by three tracks?
  22. Great to see the Irish Shell restored. I do prefer the (oddly?) spaced original lettering though. Also the Irish Shell & BP livery
  23. Partly obscured but this might help overall http://www.niclassicbuses.co.uk/before--after.html
