Oh, I see how that might have occurred. No problem. If anyone has photos of any coaches in silver livery, would also appreciate if you could post on here please

Yes, there are. Without getting into a discussion of what was built using traditional wooden framed building techniques and what were prefabricated laminates, some of the 1950s stock were turned out in the 'silver' livery along with the A and C class locomotives, the class leaders of the B, E, G classes and the 4w luggage vans. For certain there is photographic evidence of one or more 1429 series 7-compartment standard coaches in silver and some others if I recall. 'Unfortunately', I'm not at home and cannot access my iMac as I physically disconnected it having been hit by lighting last month Some indirect evidence of a silver composite laminate on John's post here http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1367-Irish-Railway-News-1957-60?p=20242&highlight=Silver+livery+coach#post20242 Silver 4w Luggage 'Hooded' Van There's a photo of a laminate on the site somewhere, can't find it Good old Ernie, The odd man out is unquestionably a 1429 series coach The rest are green however. The silver would have been most common from 1955-1960ish only

Hahahaha, notice one, Jim!

Seriously, there's something left to close? Experienced 2600 railcars yesterday, just to afford my daughter the experience of being on the 'train'. Awful things. Pretty quiet early morning but reasonably brisk custom in the mid-afternoon. I doubt you're wrong, John. Little or nothing was done to develop a modern rail INFRASTRUCTURE when the governmental coffers were full , let alone now. Yes, but the holders of the purses things would have to subsidize it, whereas they'd acquire income in so many ways from forcing train travelers onto the roads

A little dark as you say. Shame. There's a sense of atmosphere just a little too dark to appreciate. Maybe a reshoot at some point with a dull lamp in the foreground somewhere, wouldn't take much light and still keep the evening scene. Good attempt though!

Watched it through! No problems with length. Great video, Kieran!

PM sent

Good luck, Dave, I think this will be a great exposé of your fine work. I do not suppose you're going to have it up and running in the next week? (Yeah, had to ask)

Looks really authentic, Gerry!

Kieran, releasing surplus stock to the fraternity is always appreciated but ..... for God's sake, man, don't stop building!

Nice job, Nelson. Thanks for that. Looking forward to mine now

Kent Station and the goods depot are protected structures. I wonder what parts are included in the goods depot, probably not the remaining signal cabins?

I'll be back in the US by then but looking forward to this as I said before.

Very nice orange bubbles, Noel. I'll be waiting for the orange bubbles also

Beautiful pictures. 112 had it original marker lights and blue cab windows in those. Sad to see the Hunslets in such a dilapidated state, the warning chevrons on opposite ends of 102 look to be two different colors due to weathering! Interesting to see the long NIR trains with generator vans on both ends. Incidentally, did NIR gennies have a single generator per van?

Great information, Noel!

nothing changes ..... but they've 'expressed regret' (PCBS) and are reviewing their procedures (the ones reviewed the last time it happened)

A ping is as good as a bump, and it is October

Very nice looking model!

One ping only

The Chinese need to get a move on since we're using the Gregorian and not the lunar calendar over here. 2016 ends in December not in February

Failed 8113? Unusual to see a consist of 111s

Different companies, greater distances, larger populations, more densely populated urban centers, larger loading gauge, etc etc but if you have 7-8 minutes to peek at the start of this video, it's interesting to see this freight yard in operation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhp3TdeLvdM
