As we settled into the long weekend and approach Halloween, has anyone any ghastly tails of ghouls or ghosts they'd like to share? Maybe even a few tales about ghost trains or the like?? BOOH!

Sorry, sorry, 3 axle coach:o
-
These are a good cheap 3 wheel coach, which are not too far away . .
-
Living in Loughrea now, that's fantastic.

Cheers, fairly comprehensive info here about the Irish venture - I'm sure you've seen it before, an interesting read all the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertforsythe/sandbox1 Mentions TV ads on Irish television in the lead up to Christmas - would be great to see some of those old ads

I hear all of that and I completely agree and it goes without saying that the current Murphy is outstanding, however . . . What makes Jouef hdi a must have for me is: 1. Only model trains ever manufactured in Ireland 2. Livered in CIE colour - if crudely 3. Short lived nature of the factory 4. Scarceness of CIE models produced 5. Oddity factor - european stuff livered as CIE Anyone else?
-
Interesting stuff. Would love to see the clip from the Late Late Toy show where the Jouef HDi stuff appeared, 1979/80???

If any spares pop up, do send me a PM:). I figured that they were going to France, the winning bidders history indicated as much. From time to time they pop up on ebay.fr. Any truth to the myth that some of the stock was buried on site when it closed in Shannon? or is that just a fairy tale? I've often thought a mini documentary about the jouef irish venture could be fierce interesting.

I am one of those sad bastards. I have a weird fetish for the jouef Irish stuff. Always wanted some, managed to get my hands on 3 of the coaches with the very thick white lines. Would love a loco to go with it, but the purse strings never seem to allow it when one pops up on ebay. One popped up recently, about 115GBP I think?

Tomorrow is Friday . . .

Indeed - I enjoyed the discovery also:)
-
The bulls from Sangre de Toro wine are kind of the right scale for a layout. Behold. I feel the need to buy/drink more.

Just came across some sad pictures of Tuam/Ballyglunin I took some years ago
-
My friend - Austin Lambe shot these. Great stuff.

Here you are [video=youtube;HkX-sgyQV5k]

There is now some lovely drone footage of that train passing through oranmore. Think I'll leave off the forum so as to avoid a legal debate about something that is purely for personal enjoyment/entertainment.
-
Yip, its incredible. They cost about 1500euro. Great piece of kit.

Photographed by drone at oranmore today

Hi all, A friend of mine recently bought a phantom drone. Hes done some stunning footage of ballyglunin station [video=youtube;9iSjgxHo-s4]

WRENNEIRE is your best man here. I have some jouef stuff. They used to go for silly money a few years ago. I remember locos going for 250/300euro. Not sure what the value of a complete set is nowadays.
-
Fantastic to see - what I am sure is challenging - modeling Irish in N. The furthest I got was buying a shapeways 141 body shell, which I'll get to at some point. Is your 121 a repaint or scratch built? looks good. Putting together some kind of Irish N gauge branch line set is on my bucket list for sure.
-
Where would I get one of those posters?? Love the artwork.
-
Will do
-
Will be there:)

The typeface looks far too thin to be arial. I'd say it from the Helvectica Neue font family. This '35 thin'
