Dave, have you not got all the cravens (x10) already? Love them now, but the Fri only to Cork on them in the 90's was horrible! The seats!

Hi Metrovik, have you further details on this? What trade stands will be there? Which layouts? Thanks.

That is interesting. So working in multiple or a driver in each?

I had a look at Barry Carses Metro-Vick book. The Maybach engines were actually rated for 1200hp but the engine rpm was restricted to 1200rpm so the generator could cope. Would have been interesting to see what they could do with 1200hp! Definitely one I'll be going for.

Hi All, Interesting video, few glaring errors in describing what's there, but still good for a look. Newtoncork

Yep. I put down a substantial deposit and lost it. Managed to get one from Ellis Clarke Trains for about 900Euro. So they do come up.

Excellent clip. I remember taking a class 80 on Cork -Cobh in late 80's. Sat behind the engine, of course!

Sad to see such hard working locos in that state. Last time I saw freight out of Cork was 171 and 177 in a siding at Mallow with the bubbles. Think it was about 2006 but not sure.

Great show. Managed to pick up a Dutch Van. Georgeconnas layout is pretty amazing in the flesh.

Yep. I bought a set, minus the loco, last year from Eliis Clarke for £625, which is minus the tax. Think it worked out at about 900Euro in the end. They are very nice but not the same quality as IRM stuff.

I used to see Colm on Magaine Road in Cork when I was a teenager. Didn't know at the time about his railway knowledge, which is a shame as it's obvious he was a fountain of information.

Had a great say out at the show yesterday. Herself even gave me some cash when I ran out. Good to see the hobby alive and well.

Getting the 07.00 from Cork tomorrow. Booked the quiet carriage, next to loco, hoping it's not quiet. Herself heading as well. More to keep me in check. Really looking forward to it!

Lads, I'm just happy that you are so invested in Irish modelling and have successfully set up a bigger business to subsidise it!

No need for Lisbon style 4 wheeled trams! https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/publicans-left-stunned-cork-luas-31429170
