GSR 800

No, it's CIE green now.

Thanks mate

That's an absolute disgrace, brilliant,historic and wonderful coaches,destroyed by wastes of oxygen.

Is the remaining one still in maroon or in the RPSI livery?

Can we suggest Claire Byrne for Taoiseach?

And Miriam for President, Genuinly!

Managed to get the mainframes together this morning, after a cup of tea of course!

Well done Tommy, the 121 looks great. I think Des does some 121 transfers

 

Very best of luck with it. Maybe a huge Achill or Clifden based layout will ensue! Drool drool drool

I suppose if a few of your beloved Achill Bogies were to be featured the club would receive a handsome donation with a few drops of Guinness and drool on it?..

Gents, I realise everyone's consumed by election mania and you're having a bit of craic, but please remember politics are strictly verboten on the forum.

Got it Pat:tumbsup:

Verboten? Trying out some German Herr Conboy?

Sorry posted that twice :confused:

Will the sets work out of Connolly or just heuston?

Both

The two types of frames are not interchangeable, as there are slight differences in wheelbase, most likely because of the etch artwork. You can't use the coupling rods from one on the other unless you modify the openings for the hornblocks.

I know mate:tumbsup: Might use the old frames for a turntable or something, like what the CDR did

And no Richie, I'm not going to glue my hands together!

You'd have a job interrupting Vincent. When he isn't interrupting people himself or shouting over them, he's loudly coughing and creating his throat. Worst interviewer in history, though in his favour he won't take any waffle from anyone.

 

To model railway clubs; good to see not one but potentially two new start ups above.

And now on TV3 tonight with Vincent Browne , WITHOUT Vincent browne. Instead it's Ivan Yeats...Ill stop now..

Throw in a few wide hand gestures....

I wasn't interrupting you Vincent!.. I mean John!

Well eh fianna fai...(papers fall on the ground)(tries to get papers with foot, fails miserably)

SSM j26 class

Managed to get this yoke started last night, with soldering the bearings onto the frames

The kit comes with the original brass frames, and the more modern nickel silver one. The more modern one is recommended. The original one is designed for compensated frames.

Bits and bobs

If whingers aren't allowed, count Enda out! ;-)

I'm talking to you, in the soft voice, to indicate the seriousness of my speech. I promise to get 40 new different Irish locomotive classes onto the shelf within 2 years. Boom boom! The three amigos as Gerry said!

Like the one of Merlin..

Interresting..

6 pints for you, Mister Beumont! I always loved the 70s..

John,

crop your images slightly before posting, and they should be the right way up

Happy Birthday Dave!

Broithe, that's a very nice cake, but The livery is incorrect, although some pictures, and fading, did make CIE green look a sort of light blue...

Thanks David, might use it for future projects, now to get me some copper cladding!

David, what kind of electrical pick up do you use for your steam locomotives?

As far as they could possibly get before.....their scrapping

Wonder if the A in the 201 livery was given the new logo?

Does anyone else see the style and ghost of Drew Donaldson in these models? The GS&WR 4-4-0 in particular.....

Very much so, except Drew painted everything, from his 800s to his G2s in CIE green..

Hi grandad, welcome to the forum

Have a look at this thread http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4248-Turf-Burner-Model?highlight=Turf+Burner

I think Dave(Wrenniere) of this forum has a brass model

According to the latest gauge o guild circular he's done 461, I'd say it's finished by now.

Oh Sambo. A model of 461. (starts running to Dublin)
