GSR 800

It seems after the 800s were repainted in the darker CIE green the were originally given Gold lining before given black and white lining.

Cork Kent station had one, don't know if it's still around.carraige sheds were not very common in Ireland and only termini would really have them.

That blue looks good on it ..is the rest of the train painted?

When I saw that first pic showing the whole layout there..WOW!

Probably both of those factors

Or something like this?http://www.steamlocomotive.com/colored/sp4449-inline.jpg

maybe for steamers black with orange lining?

bit of blackntan heaven there Noel. the fueling point is a lovely addition to the layout.just keeps getting better

Brilliant work Anto! Love the AEC,always had a bit of a soft spot for them

it seems you cant get to the site unless your a member here

Looking great Stephen. Can't wait for Mini whitehead!

RS, yes it was listed earlier yesterday for GBP £20 hence conversion to about EU €29, but now its listed for EU €20. SeanW, is this ebay item one of your listings? As a donor for a respray it seems an ok price at €20 but the postage seems too high (i.e. 20+14=34).

Noel I think the postage,for me anyway is €4.00. But the actual cost of the mk2 was originally €30. Once when ebaying I saw a lovely old Dublo tank for €15 then when I checked the postage it was €18!

Would their have been any talk of large 4-4-0s in Ichicore in the 30's to respond to the GNRs compounds?

That's a monster Wrenn!

I hope she(or it) gets better! It's happened to me with a duchess a few years ago except much further! Still works ok though

You have a B2a?

.

Well well, a model of 461! I can't believe This thread isn't a sticky thread

Achill would be a lovely tourist railway. Halts at the famine village, keel and the a climb to reach Keem beach loop. Terminus at Achill sound

What if the GSR HAD built Pacifics? Named after saints methinks? No. 1000 St Patrick?

And preservation? I can think of a roundhouse of 800s....

Your first one looks a bit like my grandparents house in Mayo. Great model of an Irish cottage:)

Thanks John,my god they made a right mess of poor auld 356, and then left her at inchicore in a hidden siding to rot

What on earth are yez on about!?
