  1. 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..
  2. My uncle has a few auld vans on the farm if anyone is interested..
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. They look fantastic. Brilliant work
  7. I think that was GS&WR green, that CIE applied, in 1955.
  8. Nasty..
  9. I think everyone who survived the ICRs should be given the card for a good psychiatrist .
  10. Absolutely Epic. The attention to detail is fantastic
  11. Maybe if your talking about the SG3 class! They were absolute powerhouses!
  12. +1. He really captured the (often overlooked) elegant look if the SG class.
  13. John, wasn't 184 put in CIE green sometime during the 80s? Well done Rich, electrics is not my forte, but clearly you know your stuff. How is the woolie getting on?
  14. Aye, but someone might know who the person who made it is etc Something like that could surely assist a CAD for a possible very far in the future model...anything is possible..
  15. So, nobody knows where it came from? It's an excellent 3D model anyway...seems like it's for a train simulator...

  17. John,even a 29000(the horror) won't set it right. The only way to do it is to crop your images! I guarantee it will work. I will send money to you for a pint if it doesn't
  18. You over threatened it didn't you?
  19. Ahh..I just pointed a shotgun at it.
  20. All the right way up? Did you figure out the secret John?
  21. "Conas a tu ta" still gets a few laughs in the classroom!
  22. The canal was doomed once railways came to Ireland. Didn't One of the companies propose draining a canal and lay then track on the canal route?
  23. Of course one of the reasons the state didn't fund them was probably got to do with the fact that they were building the 400s and the 900s, and after that the 509s, some of the largest locos ever built in Ireland!
  24. Fantastic stuff. If I had half your skill, I would be a happy man.
  25. Could have just been a plan to intimidate the government into funding, like what the GNR did in 53,except (both) governments took them more serously. I think JB might know more about that then me..
