    I'm thinking of taking the chassis apart, and buying the Poppy's wood tech jig and building it around that.

    I didn't know what the spacer bars were until it was too late, so I went through a lot more hardship than I needed too. Are you using compensation? They wouldn't be easy for that.

    Actually, what if Irish rail was privatised, into 2-3 different companies,maybe in 2011?
  4. GSR 800
    Thanks for the advice, it's working well now.
  5. GSR 800
    How's your j26 getting on anyway?
  6. GSR 800
    Not far off Broithe! This looks like CIE green... What the Hell is going on!? Something that looks like a roundel on one side,a green interior, and of LNER design?
  7. GSR 800
    Right, I'll be back!
  8. GSR 800
    In the case, minister, it seems we have ruined the status quo! John will be baffled!
  9. GSR 800
    So.. Re privatise?
  10. GSR 800
    Took some more today. I'm not hallucinating. After a bit of a clean..

    Jesus that was some rant, eh? I musnt have had tea in a good while.. But seriously.. Meabh: because she was the first in service, might have reached the ton, and of. Course was preserved Macha: a lot of film of her,and(I think) she was the last one in service with the IRRS rail tour in 1964. Tailte didn't last very long, and she was like the Britannia of the Olympic class.. Her sisters cast a long shadow over her...

    Watch it Beumont! You know Tailte is my least favourite 800! (Grumbles incoherently)

    Can you see it in the one above John? Can anyone? I must be hallucinating
  14. GSR 800
    I must be going mad....

    Look inside the O John, that was the point of it, so it would be easier to see it! Apart from the V, which I saw on a loco once, nothing visible. It's wedged in a bush too...
  16. GSR 800
    Definitely a roundel on it.. Inside the crappy circle I drew..
  17. GSR 800
    Exterior shots are already up there John! Are ye standing on yer head again? Actually can anyone else see a very faded roundel on the "mini container"?
  18. GSR 800
    Doesn't make much sense though...
  19. GSR 800
    The strapping certainly matches up...
  20. GSR 800
    Ok lads, here they are... The first one I'm not very sure about, it seems to be half a van.. The interior.. Now, the second van is far more interesting, and harder to get to, but I'll have a rant about that later.. The faded roundel.. The interior.. And some other stuff.. Twas like Mission impossible trying to get to them..
  21. GSR 800
    Right John, will do..but they are nothing particularly special, as the are just vans. There is another van by the brosna too, in a bad state though.. Edit: isn't there a coach body on a farm near Dundalk? I'm sure I saw one there a while ago..
  22. GSR 800
    My uncle has a few auld vans on the farm if anyone is interested..

    With the J26 waiting for parts, not much more can be done on her, for now. So time to take a break from it and move on to another project, here an A class, is looking rather sorry for herself, awaits it's fate in the depths of the works.. Enough of that nonsense, she is in a serious need for a revamp. The first job was to strip the paint from her, so she was put in a sink of hot, soapy water.. Who's that handsome, witty young man in the reflection? After her bath.. Next to 552.. She still needs a good bit of cleaning up, I will do it tommorow

    Richie, I had already checked both transport of delight and Mike Morants collections, but nore they, or Ernie Brack, could solve the great problem... There is one photo.. (Copyright Walter Mc Grath) It looks like there is no step, but the poor quality of the photo makes it hard to tell...I'll leave it for you lot to judge.

    Hello all, 552 had a high coping on her bunker, it seems CIE put a step on the bunker sides,to make it easier to access. My question, was the step on both sides? It was definitely on the left, but I can only find one picture of the right side, and it isn't very clear. It would have made sense to have had it on both sides, but it's CIE.. Thanks in advance
