GSR 800

Is it hidden in the midst of this thread?

Bogie cement? Or some flats?

They look fantastic! But they will have to be FILTHY

Harry, you'd be getting a hurl to the side of the knee if you arrived at my door at 2:30 in the morning, the only 800 we'd be discussing is 1800-WEEWAAW

 

Personally, I'm not mad about doing any loco til we get a few bits boxed off, principally because I still run mine on clockwork! As I've said recently, there is a fairly sizeable wishlist in IRM HQ that is ever evolving, but whatever it is will be subject to what the community want & need. My cries for making Sambo fell on deaf ears....

 

Richie.

Your puny hurls would snap like twigs around my thick Rugby worn legs:p

I would love to see a model of Sambo, it was such an iconic and unique engine.

That's fine...three will do... As long as they are all mine.....

And in CIE green

2.30am, somewhere in North inner city Dublin. "Knocks on door" Harry? Hi, Make this(thrusts prototype drawings at him, walks off. Looks down "GSR class 800". "Well,.. sh*t". Goes to pub for Guinness

(To capture the feel of Dublin, imagine the Edge playing guitar)

I've not found that true , and it was an eejit that said it

Careful now, I'm the leader of an incredibly large and powerful mafia, that is restricted the the Cork mainline!

As that well known eejit used to say "slow and steady wins the race"

Any news on this?

This is very interesting. So to summaries anyone modeling the 40s-50s-60s(me!) should have cattle banks/platforms in a station?

Don't worry Ed, the feeling is mutual..

Sure now? 'cos I thought they were black but, when I looked closely, they turned out to be a very very very very very very very very very very very dark blue.

Don't go there man! Battleships, fencing and tea end up getting involved!

Dead skinny dexters and Kerry cows would be the right cattle for that era. Take it from a culchie;)

Looking good. Is that john Wayne helping you there? Happy thanksgiving,pilgrims...

UTA or GNR livery, tyeres lining involved!

 

No hiding away with all all over grey for a GNR 4.4.0!

 

:-)

Of course you could model the GNR of the late 1920s,locos with no nameplates on any locos and a nice plain black livery. Glover really was the "ornate" type wasn't he!

Could you post up a pic of the platforms?

I'll try that,thanks

Got another the right way up bit blurry,sorry

Dave of modelrailbaseboards.com is your man. I'm sure he will be around shortly

CIE no.402 has been painted, it is now awaiting finishing touches and a chassis of some poor unsuspecting King Arthur. this is the only picture I could get the right way up,which is very annoying.

Down with this sort of thing!

Careful now..

Still, at least the DVTs never killed Jeremy clarkson 3 times

Looking at RM it certainly seems like Whitemetal is how they do it.

 

I'd still like one, and could always to a little etch/pack to enable extra detailing if required

Sounds good to me!

Bring back the 141s!( throws barrel at 2700 class)

Very nice. The layout is really coming together.
