GSR 800

Well we did. 40-10!

Sorry i didnt get this up sooner it got too dark.Practically rebuilding the shed.I will have some more pics tommorow:)

Finally back to work! Some insulation is being put in followed by electricity and the boards get some pics up within the hour (or 2)

I believe so heirflick.Good to know someone who "was " nearby;)

A i see! i guess i am just at hormonal.Possibly the youngest one here!

And please call me ismael......I mean Harry

Yes Heirflick i do. how did you know?

Great footage!must me very rare. thanks for finding this!

Right on Des!

So i am looking around the forum looking at great layouts and models when a tab pops up NO DSL CONNECTION. contact eircom and apparantly i am too far from the eircom"boxes". i asked a few friends about different networks but they say some use eircom lines.Does anyone have any advice as this is also preventing me from updating things as it seems i can no longer upload pictures!

Ahh i see.I was thinking of six wheelers:rolleyes:.As for those sugar beet wagons i have a pic ( from the second glance ) with a 400 going tender first with a rake of beet emptiessorry about the flash

A time when The J15s were prime( and the 4-4-0s of course! )

wouldnt you have too go back to the early 1900s for that

Noel where is the second picture?

The modern scene does work very well for the budget modeller-some people just want to see trains run round:)

I would love to see that 22000 pull in in that livery. the other one just doesnt seem right.this suits very well:tumbsup:

She is more alike an NCC or GNR goods engine

or maybe a j15a

GNR SG3 class maybe?

And the little green tank engine:D

cylinder block

Crankpins

Hi Noel what you say about the 201s is true. they are overweight and have a track busting axle load. This,combined with Irelands confusing railcar programme made them virtually useless ( par the Dublin -Cork )I think IE believed that,with the huge amount of money in peoples pockets in the 90s-2000s they would need these engines for pulling new longer loads. 10 to 12 car sets was what they thought would be the norm.Now they are after figuring out this many commuters would never happen and have"eased off the throttle"The 22000 class was the answer

Alas what will happen to the hobby in 40 years?As a young adult myself:cool:It seems the method of how to get into the hobby have changed.Unlike a lad in the 50s 60s 70s 80s and even the 90s i dont have the joy of watching engines shunt and run round their trains or get serviced etc. instead i look at the vintage steam locos of britain and ireland as monuments of the good old times.But i think a modeller who would want to model the 20th century now or in the future would have to look around alot more. Videos, books and help from people who know what they are on about.I do not think DMUs passing through a station and nothing else seems a bit dull.
