GSR 800

When I went back to the old version I decided to stay with the new one. I've gotten used to it now, and the old one just looks to..old!

Wonder if any of those Mk3s up in Scotland are still in their old livery

He was asking about the Black and Tan locos, JB!

Sure yer both right!..I think:confused:

Aren't there still two 141s stored at inchicore in blackntan?

I remember interviewing the late Billy Lohan, former GSWR fireman and later GSR driver. I asked him what his first memory was of the railway. "There were six J15 in Tuam", he told me, "and I had to polish them until the lining shone".

 

I thought he's old, he's confusing it with something else. Then I realised - he's talking about 1914! The all-grey appeared some time after 1918 and stayed until the end of steam.

Would this have been a black or green livery? Sehr interesant, Herr Beumont( very interesting ya boyo Beaumont)

Can't do lining.

That's what John means, there is no need for lining, as they were all painted in the GSRs battleship grey

3 for me..2 grey ones and a blackntan one!

Here's one for ye all.

 

I had a dream. I was talking to someone who told me that they were going to make 0 gauge models of the 800 class and paint them black.....

 

Thankfully, I woke up.....!

 

Psychologists: make of that what you will.

Maybe you were thinking about me and my under coat on the 800( which was black)..nonetheless what a terrible dream...

I've added the Ability to choose Styles (you'll find it at the very bottom)

 

You can pick between the new style fluid (default), a fixed width version, and for those of a more change resistant persuasion, the Old Style

Bosko, you are a true and fair leader. Three cheers!

Maybe was just a glitch,returned to normal now

Ehh..lads..am i the only one seeing the old design for the site?

Ah yes, good point. But I assume everything but the boiler should be correct to the loco's current form?

Apart from minor details, such as Snap head rivets and that the dome would be rounded off a bit more,there would not be much of a difference

Ahh the Aul virgin vomiter

No need to apologies John,I didn't exactly make it very clear

Twas Limerick junction I was talking about John!

The enterprise was extended to cork in 1950 but didn't even get to see dieselisation. It was stopped in 1953, probably due to the fact that it over 5 hours long.i believe the film was in Tom ferris film, from Belfast to Baltimore.

Twas the enterprise John

".....JB, instead of being the whole GNR set worked through to Cork, am I right in saying it was a single coach worked across to Heuston and attached to a CIE rake?....."

 

I had always thought it was the whole set, UP. I've certainly seen a picture of what appears to be a full GNR set in Cork. There was a diner on it - though to be fair that could have been a CIE one. You're making me think; I'd need to check! Assumptions can be dangerous.....!

I saw a piece of film showing no.406 arriving at Limerick Jct with an entire GNR set,a strange looking spectacle.

At the October show, there was a picture of meadhb with enterprise headboards,for a second I thought it was a very strange looking VS class! How did they get the GNR coaches from Amiens street to Kingsbridge? I'm thinking the Phoenix park tunnel but I really don't know

Maybe, but effectively not at such staggeringly insane prices of nearly €80 for a flat pack cardboard "kit" of a signal box. Seems priced more for commercial use than typical hobbyists. €220 for a station building that needs to be painted!!!

Considering that few people make Irish buildings and the company is a reasonably new one,the prices would be high,Dave has said their prices will reduce as their market expands,and as Ed has already said you get what you pay for.

The train was testing the new Paris Strasbourg line.

There seems to be a massive growth in the Irish market in the past month or two... Irish railway models... Des releasing commonwealth bogies and the rerun of the sulzer...the laminate..Dawson hall Irish range.the golden age of Irish modelling is here lads..but it has just begun..

Scribbled onto to it can be seen "not to rou...shunt" rough shunt maybe?
