    Comparing pictures the tender looks very Like a D10s tender
  3. GSR 800
    A b12 tender is like it although a bit smaller
  4. GSR 800
    That was it Nelson.

    Doesn't one of the preserved j15s have a 400 tender? I heard that somewhere but can't be sure if it's true

    That shot of the glimpse of the mk3 in its old livery is the picture that shows the end of an era, stunning

    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

    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!
  18. GSR 800
    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
  22. GSR 800
    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!
  24. GSR 800
    They still used the silver ball system on one of the single lines
  25. GSR 800
    what an excellent nick name,"raspberry Ripple" i think it will stick!
