  1. Hi guys.Since im building a yard for kedleston i knew it needed some buildings.But very few layouts are set in the 50s in ireland,so im not sure what to put in the yard(par an engine shed,water tower and turntable)
  2. Certainly like the look of the luggage van.........
  3. Hi guys.800 is about 75 percent complete par the wiring :mad:and crankpins:mad:and some other small stuff. To save me from the mental a good friend,who has been very helpful and has supported me (supplying me with necessery equipment for my endeover)has said that he would finish her off. A better idea,as i am hopeless when it comes to wiring
  4. Bit strange but,considering the Scotsman now nearly 100 years old was still working (despite her seeming to be constantly in doncaster with cracked crankpins) so if the steam era for some reason had never been brought to an end or effientcy of steam had improved to provide instant steam(this was already discussed in another post)i dont see why the 800s wouldnt have lasted into 2000 or even later.I also bring up the question why werent they converted to oil burning?
  5. Great work as usual! The orange "stripe" and black line seems to be a modern design with a bit of the old black n tan livery
  6. the money does put me back all right.went to buy some tracks and had nothin left in my pockets after!but as long as you dont spend your life savings..............or college funds...........
  7. In his picture of thurles engine shed he captures one of the 800s on shed

  11. Little Red lima shunter i repainted.it had a nice livery but just didnt look the part. not based on any irish prototype
  12. would they buy a 201 or 071?or more reasonably lease it?
  13. Great job! Also good job with the Compound.Like the RPSI set
  14. Hi guys,im trying to get as much info on the 400s as im am thinking of making a wiki page on them.anything of any significants would be helpful.
  15. a Sub would have probably have known the boat or something large was tangled in it as the extra weight would slow the sub down.
