    You would think after so many accidents they would make it safer...
  2. GSR 800
    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

    My god that's a stunner! That'd be one hell of a layout:drool:
  9. GSR 800
    Very interesting idea, I'd say there would be some very interesting designs, but why would this scenario happen?, and what of the turf burner? I'm almost tempted to have this scenario on my layout. I'd love to see a model of a GNR 4-6-0, a good donor would be a LNER B12.

    Despite " mass emigration " before the famine the population was still growing by roughly 1 million a decade, mass emigration or not
  12. GSR 800
    What would it be like if the great famine had never happened,railway wise, with a population of 10 or 12 million?
  13. GSR 800
    So did he prepare the drawings for the 800s?
  14. GSR 800

  15. GSR 800

    The coupling or "driving"rods are the rods connecting the wheels to each other while the connecting rod is the rod the connects the wheels to the cross heads

    New town looking great,can't wait for more updates
  24. GSR 800
    the attention to detail is exquisite even down to the vacuum brake pipe! a beautiful model indeed
  25. GSR 800
    i suppose the deltics would be an overkill. but what about the smaller classes like 31s and 33s
