The Enterprise returns to service

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

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

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..

Generator cars for irish coaching stock - specifically HLV

Scribbled onto to it can be seen "not to rou...shunt" rough shunt maybe? -
To save ye lads the trouble..http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/45-enniscorthymans-workbench/page16 however it only starts there..
-
I presume the class 55(Deltic)chassis are a cut and shut job?
-
This the lighting kit I believe. I doubt Des would put a lightning rod on an Aul B101, unless he found a new way to pick up electricity via the dark clouds in the sky...

Ye got there before me Kev!
-
So...beautiful....

Jayus the lads in CIE must have really regretted the silver livery! I think there was one or two J15s shunting at Limerick at the end of steam. Amazing how they outlived their supposed replacements the J15as and Bs.
-
I'm not saying they made do. I am talking about what was available RTR 30 years ago. I am well aware of excellent kit built and scratchbuilt models, Cyril Frys brilliant models being an example of this
-
Only time will tell...
-
Why would there be? I never saw the steam era and I am modelling it.
-
Don't think many people will ever model that!
-
Look how far we have come lads, as Noel said 30 years ago the best we had was a bunch of Hornby stuff repainted in black n tan, now look. The diesel era is almost completely covered loco wise. Coaching stock from the bnt era is also almost complete. The steam era is far from complete, but with Des from SSM many of the main steamers can be modelled also along with coaching stock and freight. 3D printing is in its early years. With the launch of Irish railway models the future looks very promising. What will the scene be like in the next 30 years?

holy Sambo, your rate of work is amazing!

When I first found out about Irish railways (and the 800s) when I was about 6 I took out my tomy Henry train and painted it in a dark green! The rest is history...
