Just realised that the wheel is a loco wheel between the wings on close inspection

The logo on the front is vaguely reminiscent of one used by PJKA, the Indonesian railway authority, in the 1960-80s period. But neither the loco, the livery, or the markings are any more Indonesian than they are Cavan & Leitrim.

I would guess it’s a “makey-uppy” thing, like some of those early “CIE” models of crude British outline locos and coaches in even cruder “Irish” livery.

Came across this elbem folks extremely close to the one on my loco ...??? Soviet railway badge wings and wheel .

I'm greatful for your knowledge guys I'm just puzzled it runs pretty well has 3 coaches bearing the same logos .green body and sliver roof on the coaches would I leave it alone or try painting the set in CIE colours??

Hi folks trying to find out any information about this train set HDI anyone got a name for it I have taken these pictures don't understand the crest thanks anthony

Hi Anthony

Yes your correct, you don't want to electrical short those, use a bolt and washers suitable that fit between and does not touch them- or using a plastic bolt is even better.....

Eoin

Thanks Eion it's looking like plastic bolt as there's not enough space between the terminal I'm glad I checked with you thanks a million Anthony

Hi Anthony

Here is one way of fixing it- remove the broken pivot from the chassis, insert a brass or plastic bolt through the hole and epoxy it in, epoxy a washer or two in the centre of the bogie to get the height right and to allow the bolt go through the washers, when set- slide the bogie onto the screw with a washer put on a loose nut so the bogie can wobble n rotate, loctite the nut when your happy with the fit;-

Hi Eoin just been  nuisance here.see pictures would a little bolt have any effect on the two brass terminals on the bogie wheels I don't want to make a mess .just trying to be careful don't won't to burn out the bogie or would it be ok.thanks Anthony

I walked from glenbiegh along every inch where possible to the where the train ended it's journey at Valencia . It was a lovely walk. I could feel the presence of those  that had taken that journey as I walked in the footsteps I could feel the history it was sad and happy. Peaceful. If we could turn back the clock indeed magnificent 

Yes lovely indeed I got all the pictures of the the killorgan preservation society there very helpful i just asked them the said no problem. Im awaiting a very rare DVD of the history of glenbiegh railway that I hope to post on here. Soon but sure you take things as you here them.

Glenbiegh is a little bit of heaven I'm awaiting a DVD from a local person regarding glenbiegh station
