    The T&C would be an excellent place for this little locos. Beet in the autumn, and excursion trains in the summer(with a couple of ancient 6 wheelers behind of course!)if you were going with such a layout, no.552 would be a good candidate, as it was a regular performer on the T&C.

    It's actually far more expensive, if you ad postage, it ends up at over €100!

    It did look a bit like that, but the green was much darker

    Lads, has anyone seen a railcar( I think it was a 29000) in a dark green livery? I saw a glimpse of it leaving Mullingar on the Sligo line. Is this a new livery or do I need to go to specksavers?

    Would ye nearly be better scratch building or kit bashing?

    Those were the good Aul days.. Hmmm..

    Absolutely fascinating! So these locomotives designed for freight workings? These would have been a very powerful locomotive at the time,possibly one of the largest in Europe? Such a shame they were all scrapped, they would have been a fascinating exhibit at Cultra! Would the 500s have been the first "successful" 4-6-0s? I have a feeling that the GWR will get involved in this conversation..

    Should a new thread be started for the long toms and nicknames for other locos?
  9. GSR 800
    Sure I was trying to show you your mistake!

    I'll buy at least six.. Then declare bankruptcy.

    The vistiors were not pleased.. But the layout design is looking good! What era are you planning?

    Ahh,well Kieran, I think the AECs are one of the most liked(maybe even loved!) railcars in Ireland, probably due to the character,comfort and various attractive liveries which they carried. I for one certainly like the AECs and I'm sure many do as well

    Holy Sambo, these people are clearly a higher power, brought down from the heavens to show railway modellers how to weather properly:p( I think I'm goin a bit mental..must be all that glue and gloss varnish....)

    It would almost defiantly have been on the Dublin Cork mainline, 2 reasons A=this was the mainline such an" exclusive coach" would usually be limited to the main lines example being the Pullmans, the furthest they ever got from the mainline was headford junction.B=the loco hauling the train is.. The 800 class which were restricted to the mainline, although being the flagship locos would have meant they would have showed up on advertising a fare bit in the early 50s

    Woohoo Guru!. Was there only one "silver princess" in Ireland?
  18. GSR 800
    Well my point is now pointless..

    People these days would simply expect a food service of some sort on trains,ships and planes. They do make a profit(usually) from selling food so..

    Ah Janus isn't it awful isn't just awful, awful is the word no better word to describe it, do ye know what awful isn't the word at tall! Terrible terrible so the word, wouldn't it have been better if it had just been SCRAPPED( Twas quoting father ted(quite badly too!)
  21. GSR 800

    Pure brilliant JH! I'll have to number my house 800 so!

    Thought this was free to a good home Pat?

    Wow,that's very interesting. Maybe that's why the GNR considered a 4-6-0 around the same time. Were they inchicorised? Belpaire firebox,snap head rivets or were the neglected? Also how many were built? Sorry bout all the questions but I'm very interested in this. And I had thought the 400s we're the first Irish 4-6-0s
