  1. Halfords red oxide spray cans work well. Two light costs gives a nice finsh then a coat of matt varnish to finish the job.
  2. IRRS do not have a copy of the 6w steam van But would be very happy to take a lend of a drawing for duplicating for its collection. original drawing and a digital copy would be returned to owner .
  3. Heard it's going to be a ding a ling & a strong smoking truck from a man in a a well known shop
  4. Early journals are now quite rare and command a high price I am afraid. I know from experience that the IRRS have back issues mostly from late 1960s to recent copies. There was a reprint in the 1950s of the first 10 editions produced. So you know which ones your looking for ?
  5. Started life as delivers in red repainted grey in latter year
  6. Hi I am enjoying reading about your projects think we are going to have to add four more hours to a day so you can get everything done !
  7. Wonderful stuff your going to need a small factory. Nice new shiny things. Brillant work.

  9. Hopefully these items will be out for "Christmas" They are due end Nov and I wish to thank Paddy for his Permission to take and post the photos.
  10. Also the kitchen bars are well represented internally this is the Galway kitchen set-up
  11. The interiors and floors are not a separate components they are moulded Monocoque style as a integral part the body. The black base is moulded separately and consists of the underside details and buffers with bogie mounts,couplings.
  12. All the Current Murphy models mk ll s Have toilets except brake van which has Guards Compartment Brake wheel and Bucket seat
  13. Here are Some Photos of the New Murphy Models MKll Composites in the "Flesh" Note the toilet.
  14. I believe 10 mk111s will be saved for this operation.
  15. Eoin your a genius. Just read every post in this thread from scratch, From concept to outstanding model. What a fantastic model well done.
  16. line speed up-grade will be apart of normal line maintenance
  17. Translink expect the masts to go up first any track modification to upgrade line speed will happen after new traction is delivered and place into service.
  18. Cost of low-emission locos and fuel would make it almost impossible to run a low cost service.
  19. Enterprise will be running to the expanded Great Victoria Street station not Central Translink already own the land to expand the station to at least a six platform station possibly eight platforms, each platform will be able to handle a nine car plus size train. The redevelopment of the station will include the bus and train station being under one roof funding will be covered by building a new shopping mail, offices and residential appartments.
  20. New electric locos and coaches or Emu's will go out to tender in the next 10years for delivery in 15 years time. Dmu's or Demu's will not be used due to the cost of maintenance fuel. It is cheaper to use a diesel loco or electic traction
  21. The coaches are having a full refit including the replacement of the internal carpet body panels for GRP panels, lighting, toilets and seating. The project will be finished within two years of starting and will give the coaches a useful 10 to 15 year life extension. By that time the plan to electrify Dublin Belfast line will be under way with a max speed of 120 mph on the line. The trains will be running to the expanded great Victoria street station and not the inconvenient Belfast Central.
