TDR that link isn't working, for me anyway

They'd probably do it better than the PTS lad could ever do, you have to actually know what to do, not just on paper

gone are the good days John

wasnt Liam Neeson a signal man before he was an actor?

Also what about storage for rolling stock. A fiddle yard or storage sidings would come in handy. Would a station work on such a tight radius?, it would be hard to get large logos around without derailing. As junctionmad said by directional running is unusual and not prototypical, also the amount of point work to get to such a small MPD seems a bit of a waste. What if you put the station where the viaduct a girder bridge is and them at the start of the curve, this would allow a central platform which could facilitate longer trains.

Would the drivers be prosecuted at all when someone gets killed by a train?

Some have no respect for others. That probably what all the commotion was at the Mullingar station.

So haven't posted in a while so let me fill you in. The track plan is finalised, the terminus is now facing the other way so less shunting is required. A extension board will be placed so there is more space for the turntable and a goods yard, adjacent to the will be some carriage sidings. P.S. I will try and get pics shortly but I can't really get the tablet to upload them

I was hoping for one on eBay. The 181 is after going up to 62 pounds, hope you win Robbie!

Indeed i came across it while looking for an A

Many people here have converted them to DCC and sound such as Anthony but I'm a DC man

Ok, here it is, a 181 class might even be someone here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-Murphy-Models-GM-181-Class-187-IE-Irish-Locomotive-OO-Gauge-Used-Boxed/201413485428?_trksid=p5411.c100170.m2943&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123831%26meid%3D504f0d30c7534fc3a94ae1408ca1a55e%26pid%3D100170%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D311426683166

I believe I saw a 141 n the cheap on eBay, I'll try and get a link for you
-
141 and 071 can be bought from model shops like Marks (Dublin) and the model shop Belfast. I remember seeing a C in a. Display case in marks a few months back. Otherwise the As and Cs can be bought from silver fox. The 121s have never been made RTR but MIR made a kit of them up to there closure a few years back. I believe shapeways now make a body for it. The shunters I'm not so sure about...

It took them an nearly two hours to get from north to South Mumbai by car due to congestion and the awful state of the roads, not surprising why the railway is so busy. Within 40 seconds of a train departing the city terminus another arrives!
-
They still used the silver ball system on one of the single lines

what an excellent nick name,"raspberry Ripple" i think it will stick!

You would think after so many accidents they would make it safer...

Yes it probably would have been developed for that in the boom and would hang on in the crash, in the what if 2015 cruise ship traffic would be increasing slowly and bringing profit in. Summer would bring great business to the area -

A scenario in which the black sod bay terminus had been built to its earlier designs, finished just before the war the bay receives good traffic in the 20s but the 30s and 40s bring little traffic and after years of neglect it's closed. Possibly reopened in the 80s but scaled down to a one or two platform station, it now receives a couple of 22000s a day but nothing more. -

Also the crane at Dundalk could not cope with the weight of such a large loco, and as you said the narrow works would have a hard time fitting it. a 4-6-0 would be costly and wasn't really needed plus by the time they would have been built (1953-4?) it would be obsolete within a decade
