  1. 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
  2. They look fantastic. Brilliant work
  3. I think that was GS&WR green, that CIE applied, in 1955.
  4. Nasty..
  5. I think everyone who survived the ICRs should be given the card for a good psychiatrist .
  6. Absolutely Epic. The attention to detail is fantastic
  7. Maybe if your talking about the SG3 class! They were absolute powerhouses!
  8. +1. He really captured the (often overlooked) elegant look if the SG class.
  9. 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?
  10. 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..
  11. So, nobody knows where it came from? It's an excellent 3D model anyway...seems like it's for a train simulator...

  13. 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
  14. You over threatened it didn't you?
  15. Ahh..I just pointed a shotgun at it.
  16. All the right way up? Did you figure out the secret John?
  17. "Conas a tu ta" still gets a few laughs in the classroom!
  18. 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?
  19. 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!
  20. Fantastic stuff. If I had half your skill, I would be a happy man.
  21. 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..
  22. But would it be a state owned company, or a GSR type company. Great Irish Railways?
  23. Would there even be an NCC? What a horrible might have been...
  24. Would there even be NCC jeeps?
  25. As John said,Both were relatively modern, and if a certain design proves better than others,obviously other companies would follow maybe the GNR were influenced by the NCC,however some W class had older "MR" style tenders which looked ancient!
