    We are not amused, and for the record I am awaiting a kit of a little 0-6-0, as for the rest of em.. To keep you on your feet, I'm going to make sure you do ALL the buildings for layout no.2, which will come about in a few years...

    Jahsus, Mullingar? The shed is in pretty dire condition, they would really need to fix it up, and clean up the yard. On that note, for an update on the greenway thing, buffers had been put in place just before the newbrook road bridge, and the line is cut off in several other places also

    What if.. The turf burning project had been a success, and diesel did not arrive until 1965-6?
  4. GSR 800
    Might as well hop on the band wagon meself...

    Or get Meadbh to give them a push? I don't think double heading would be justified, for a pair of auld 071s. As for some re entered 201s..better than being left to rot in the depths of inchicore

    You promised?(cough)

    I'm looking forwards to seeing this progress, especially the tank engine, and the railcar.
  8. GSR 800
    It's a shame, My first set was a Hornby 'industrial' the little tank would whizz around the track like a mad yoke... Hornby has still some good stuff, their 'super detail stuff isn't bad, but they still have tooling from the airfix era, and some of their buildings are hideous. They will probably be bought up, at some stage....

    For the firebox, what did you use? Half a pipe maybe?
  10. GSR 800
    Will ye go for that pint already!
  11. GSR 800
    Brilliant work there Kieran, more pics please!
  12. GSR 800
    The flux capacitator must be on the blink...(kicks) The layout looks EPIC
  13. GSR 800
    Well you had some As and Cs in green, some in ( filthy ) silver, steamers in dirty grey(except Meadbh and Macha) or black, or grey with black smokeboxes! You can see why blackntan was introduced in 62! So yeah. It was the crazy period with 20 different liveries, like today...
  14. GSR 800
    The 121 announcement was in this month's BRM
  15. GSR 800
    Aye, the grey livery, despite being drab and..let's face it, boring, really did suit the old Irish steamers, especially when it went that sort of dusty looking blacky-grey after being cleaned(ocasionally) with a greasy rag. Durty, but lovable. the new grey on the 071s looks really well, gives them a nice subtle clean look. I disliked the black and silver livery and that didn't suit them, and the ones still in it look like they are on their last legs...

    I'm fairly sure all of Des's kits have their chassis supplied,as with most steam kits.
  17. GSR 800
    So chances are it is a primer, so why apply the decals? Were they bored?
  18. GSR 800
    Very nice. I believe some of the Yanks use tree bark for cliff faces. How's the Terminus itself looking. PM sent

    Thought originally that it was the tight bends on the layout so they were replaced with larger radius track, but the problems persist
  21. GSR 800
    The problem with mine was that the pony truck keeps derailing. Very annoying.
  22. GSR 800
    No, actually they were the more modern Hornby ones.
  23. GSR 800
    When I bought a patriot and a Scot(to convert) I found both had problems with gears not meshing properly, and poor pulling power
  24. GSR 800
    Recently finished the smokebox door on 402. Thanks to Des for supplying the handles:) Anyone willing to give up a King Arthur chassis for it?
