Right ye asked for it! The U class: Built by Beyer peacock in 1915' No.196-200' Second batch Built by Beyer peacock in 1947' No.201-205 The original U's were going to be painted in lined green, but this never happened due to Glovers "don't decorate ANYTHING" era

I thought the priestly ones were very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very VERY dark blue? Jasus I'm out of steam( pun intended ) after all of the very's, I'm going to have a cup of Tea
-
Aye, ye might get caught out with that. I remember, I needed some black apostrophes but when I got them they were actually a very very very very dark blue:p..
-
The UG's were never in given the blue livery, although they certainly would have been a sight if they were!
-
Not really, as when they looked like that they would have been in the grey livery. In the green livery and black livery(which they were modelled in) they would have been "inchicorised" with new riveted smoke boxes and new smoke box doors, along with various other modifications.

Remember how the GNR used to classify some classes of locos? Ps5'6", and the Ps 6'6". The GNR T'was a great company sure it t'was.

Wouldn't that be the first real Irish RTR steam loco? I wouldn't include bachmanns mogul as it is just a direct repaint.

Bit pointless to have some areas on lines that trains can reach 100mph, while others cannot. In order for the railways to be competitive with motorways there would have to be serous investment in.. The permanent way, would need to be upgraded, so trains could reach a sustained speed of 100mph at least. Rolling stock, in my opinion if the railcar scheme is going to continue, they should at least refit them to be more comfortable for both passengers, and drivers (it was mentioned how terrible they are to drive in another thread' especially the 22000s) -

Merry Christmas, yah bunch of train loving!..enthusiasts

Having travelled in Mk3s, ICRs, and Cravens(i think), i would have to say that the MK3s were very comfortable, and i think the cravens were comfortable as well,( cant remember fully, it was a good while ago) But on the case of the 22000 class ICRs i find them reasonably comfortable. the only real problem I ever had with them was leg room, but i have grown used to this as they are vastly superior to other railcars, such as the 2700 class.

Hi Joe, When i started modelling myself i had a layout 8x4 with a loop(a roundy roundy as called by some!) the curves were pretty tight, a looked a bit unrealistic. with space like that in my opinion a "straight" layout with a fiddle yard and scenic breaks? Again just my opinion. I will probably get scrutinised by others for basic names for the types of layouts!
