    A few coaches or a few rakes? 8113 going to look great with my IRM mk2s(last year’s Christmas bonus)
  3. MOGUL
    I got 8113 DCC fitted on Hattons a few months back, find of the year! and a GSR sentinel with DCC last week.. but missed todays MK2Ds as I was stuck in the usual Friday Dublin traffic, feel destined new to have any of the original mk2 run

  5. MOGUL
    My recommendation is this also https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/bedford-j1-ambulance-dundalk-fire-service-76bed007 Can be got east enough for under €10

    Linea messina was taken over by Italia I think, who were in turn take over by evergreen.. On another note, Boluda have launched a Santander to Dublin service this week, so we might see some of your weird boxes up this way

    Don’t have one of those but I think I might have a spare CIE scamell Scarab in the stash

    Michael Portillo traveled to the mine(complete with hard hat, high viz and Salmon covered trousers no doubt) in one of his railway journeys episodes.. A long time since I've seen it but I think it showed the shunt.. Also of note, is that Tara mines have a unilok and a shale wagon(last one) that are used to calibrate the scales

    Can't make it this year, as I have my own newly tooled arrival due early in October.. First show since IRM was a thing(that one was fun!) that I will miss but can't be helped! I'm sure there will be regular updates on here to keep me in the loop!

    Translink

    MOGUL replied to buzzhornet's topic in Irish Models

    I only have the Translink and Ulsterbours tours Irizars at the moment(same as the Marks buses).. But there is a nice EFE translink Wright bus(sold mine to DJ), and also an Optare solo(used for Causeway tours) available also, but hard to get as they are older models.. This thread by @WRENNEIRE is a good summary as it covers most of the Northern buses

    I think adding shops like this could be handy, especially for O gauge modellers! We seem to get a lot of UK shops listed on Irish websites as souces, but Brexit has killed that mostly.. So mainland EU shops can be a good replacement source for things like layout materials, vehicles, containers etc

    Imma leave this here http://www.britishmodelbuses.com/Britbus.htm

    Nah, too small for that, you’d have it cleared out in a week and be looking for more! We only use the20ft reefers to send stuff to New Caledonia(pop 270000) these days.. It’s even more out there islandy than your island @DJ Dangerous!

    Looks the job, the container is a highcube, and the extra height does it favours it making it look in scale.. just needs some rust on the corner castings and the tractor unit needs a smear of grease on the 5th wheel and a few breakfast roll wrappers in the cab window!

    €250 for a 141 with the wrong box, pass thanks.. Miss getting them in Hattons for £90(not that long ago)
  18. MOGUL
    At least we know there is something other than a stapler in the boxes! Very nice, how much did that set you back Dave?
  19. MOGUL
    Those look like they would have put a big dent in the bank balance! Any pics of them out of the boxes?
  20. MOGUL
    it's more a case of did my wallet survive Check your mail, might be able to help with above!

    Castlebar has no loop, so would need to include some form of Runaround.. Likely two sidings off the UP side with a facing point on the Dublin side of Castlebar.. Cunninghams yard is close to the line and already has a reach stacker in operation.. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/brian-cunningham-669940b7_a-massive-thanks-to-everyone-at-harrington-activity-6866470744340123649-11ca?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

    DFDS used their own, both dry and reefers(require in winter months to prevent freezing).. IWT hauled for BG and also some CLDNs
  23. MOGUL
    The 20 a day figureis misconstrued, the Baxter’s supply chain manager mentioned it but it is their total output, not what is moving with XPO/Samskip.. Most goes via Dublin with ECS and DFDs, both using road haulage..Obviously the proportion may change if the depot in Castlebar gets built
  24. MOGUL
    Not really, DFDS and IWT have both also transported Baxter loads by rail at various times over the past few years
  25. MOGUL
    It's not a new freight flow, it's just 6-8 export loads a week from Baxter to Waterford using the existing XPO train instead of going by road to Dublin.. The article seems to be based off the PR
