  1. 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..
  2. Scribbled onto to it can be seen "not to rou...shunt" rough shunt maybe?
  3. To save ye lads the trouble..http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/45-enniscorthymans-workbench/page16 however it only starts there..
  4. I presume the class 55(Deltic)chassis are a cut and shut job?
  5. 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...
  6. Ye got there before me Kev!
  7. So...beautiful....
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. GSR 800

    class 121

    Mmmmm......just beautiful
  11. Only time will tell...
  12. Why would there be? I never saw the steam era and I am modelling it.
  13. Don't think many people will ever model that!
  14. 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?
  15. holy Sambo, your rate of work is amazing!
  16. 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...
  17. Fantastic vids there TDR, great to see how the layout looks in action
  18. Could NIR have taken a leaf from CIE's book and rebuild the Hunslets with GM engines?
  19. That mogul with the beet rake looks like a photo of a 400 at mallow hauling a long rake of beet emptys tender first. Another excellent scene
  20. A 141 in grey slate livery?
  21. From whom John?
  22. Sound man!
  23. The shade on No.800 meadbh
  24. So..no? Thanks anyway.Hmm does anyone know the type of green or even what mixture for the dark CIE green?
  25. Richie, by any chance would you know what's the type of green CIE green for the steam locomotives were?
