    The Irish sound recordings are copyright to Mr SoundGuy (not DCC Supplies or MSB). He now works exclusively with Zimo chips not ESU Loksound. Sound is expensive but only one of each class/livery need have sound as only one or at most two loco's sound can be heard at one time. Unfortunately, the basic soundchips have not come down in price over the years. Mr SoundGuy sells primarily through his own website now and can be contacted directly with queries/orders.

    The Alphagraphix reference is CC72A or CC472B. The livery is grey "GN" No 609 "To carry 20 tons" with Guinness Dublin emblazoned on both sides! I got mine from Michael Morris at one of the Wexford exhibitions (€6). I haven't assembled mine but you would need a bogie chassis to make it operational.

    The book "First steps in railway modelling" by CJ Freezer has a detailed discussion on building baseboards. Marks Models and other outlets should have it available.

    Alphagraphix do a card 4mm model of the Guinness bogie GNR wagon and Irish Freight Models do a Guinness tanktainer which looks nice: http://www.irishfreightmodels.com/index.php/shop.html#!/Guinness-Wagons/c/3461297/offset=0&sort=normal

    Irish Freight Models do the Lyons Tea 4-wheel wagon (see video above). I tend to run the Kilkenny Coal, Pierce's wagons etc on Ballybeg just for fun and variety of colour while acknowledging they are not strictly authentic!

    No doubt Wexford Model Railway Club will be holding their annual Wexford Festival Model Railway Show on the Sunday/Monday of the October Bank Holiday week-end in Wexford Town.

    Just to answer my own question, I found two photos of a bogie P&T van at Downpatrick from 2007:

    Does anyone have pictures of the CIE TPO in green livery showing presence/absence of decals?

    That looks like my first car: a Fiat 127 L 2-door in Pippen Red 462 DZL a 1981 model. The other car is a Ford Fiesta of similar vintage.

    Nice! I have ordered one in '5os green livery...

    A17 (IR livery) and 230 (Supertrain livery) also looking good complete with DCC soundchip (A39), detailed and directional headlights. Well done George.

    Track running through (and fitting in with) scenery (with a specific context)

    Athearn SW1500 chassis from America have gotten very expensive especially with the weak Euro. I haven't seen any available with sound. There is no room in the MIR bodies to house a decent speaker. However, with a new design for 121, it should be easy to engineer the space for at least a Bass Enhanced speaker.
  14. Irishrailwayman
    I approached PM many times over the years pleading to have sufficient space included in his designs to accommodate a Bass Reflex speaker or at least a Bass Enhanced speaker. The small round speakers could never hope to reproduce the sound of 141/071/201 with any degree of authenticity particularly as chip/speaker technology develops. However, to no avail so far - will he leave enough room in the new 121s to house a decent speaker I wonder?
  15. Irishrailwayman
    Well done Eamonn on excellent work in spite of 'flu, work and impending events.
  16. Irishrailwayman
    The full Bass Reflex speaker is worth adding for depth of sound for 141/071 and 201. However, particularly with the 141, a fair amount of the lead weight has to be filed down (take care as this substance is toxic). It is a bit easier with the 071 but in both cases the speaker will intrude into the cab area. Adding a driver figure can mask this but the cab light in the 071 will not be visible with the larger speaker intruding.

    Not to mention the IrishFreightModels Laminates in Green and in Black/Tan when they become available.

    There are two great DVDs on the CB&SCR including elegaic music in the background as the rails are lifted. Worth a look as the quality of images is amazing given how long ago they were taken!

    Thank you - this is a handpainted kit provided by the now defunct Model Irish Railways in resin form. The transfer vinyls provided with the kit included yellow numerals and flying snails lined in black. Here are a few other photos of 121 taken on my layout Ballybeg by Enniscorthyman.

    Green laminates in standard and brake variants to replace MM non-prototypical green carriages would be nice along with a black/tan/single white stripe laminate standard to break up the cravens/park royal rake!
