  1. The path to depart for Heuston is at 19:35, so some time between 5 and 7:30.. Sorry can’t be more specific but it would depend on ops in the port which can vary greatly in time
  2. Docking tomorrow morning at 6am, based on paths and past moves, I would imagine 3 cars will be transferred on Thursday eve and 3 on Friday eve
  3. Looks like a weathering challenge for @murphaph
  4. She was, the vessel is the Maria and she is currently showing as docking some time on Thursday now.. https://www.dublinport.ie/information-centre/next-100-arrivals/ 6 cars on her, so maybe transfers on Thursday and Friday, will see if I can find out more
  5. Will have another BELL box on the train.. Ex Ballina this week, likely on Thursday
  6. Those are the same ones back again, likely someone had them in their trunk.. When you click the adds, they were listed on the 6/12.. Maybe someone realized they had over paid!
  7. Was just coming on here to post that, great minds think alike.. Fairly sure that’s one of the dickey mk2ds that didn’t sell for ages as there was a livery issue
  8. Wouldn’t be surprised if a certain someone had it on eBay for £450 plus £25 shipping by next week! Not sure if Hattons started checking eBay for priced but their pre owned has gone pricey the last while, they had cravens in the original livery at £96 for ages, think they sold 2 at that price but there’s one still up..

    Containers

    I received 3 books from @iarnrod in the post this morning.. Thanks Noel! On page 40 of Philip Horton's Locomotives and Recollections I spotted this, quite a small photo so sorry about the orientation but was the best way to get a good quality shot with my phone.. Its a Transamerica spider tank like the one @Arran released a few years back https://shop.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=72_73&product_id=171 on hire to BELL lines, and with a BELL line logo(coincidentally Noels thumbnail!) Nice easy container for someone to model with some home brew transfers for their BELL liner to add some variety
  10. Two vessels due in, first one tomorrow and second one Wednesday morning.. 6 cars per vessel.. So transfers Monday to Thursday every day,
  11. 076 works todays down liner, this one is IWT3499, with the up train today and tomorrow's down train being IWT3500.. Work commitments mean I won't get out to see that one but close enough!
  12. The doors on the Wec boxes have inset handles, that’s why the door looks strange from the inside.. this showed up in Ballina today, 20ft with 8ft 6 in yellow square like your TESU box
  13. Finally finished this one after over 2 years.. Not the tidiest work but was glad to finish it in the end and it was only €7 for the kit.. Completing this one has given me a spur to make a few more kits while waiting for my base boards to be made, so have a Sherman crab in the pipeline also Airfix ME109E in 3/ JG51 livery, France 1940
  14. 076 is on IWT, not sure what the second loco is.. 232 is/was in timber
  15. Looks like a standard 20ft 8ft 6 box, 33.2CBM on the door confirms it.. The sign looks like a caution 8ft 6in one, must be a very old box(can't make out on the CSC plate on the door) Were you there hunting strays?
  16. Next ICR centre car deliveries are due to Dublin at the start of December.. First vessel is due 4/12 with 6 cars Next vessel is due 5/12 with 6 more And a final vessel is due 17/12 with 6 more cars..
  17. What's the tank on the tank transporter, looks like a Challenger but in North African camoflage? Fantastic modelling by the way!
  18. Without stirring the pot.. IRM moved some track panels for Maam when they released the As, supported Tailte tours on their inaugural run and dontated funds from the sale of ballasts to the DCDR to preserve the real thing.. Wonder if hattons could be convinced to contribute towards rescuing a 6 wheeler, there is a suitable candidate just down the road from Maam after all!
  19. It's nothing like a scamell scarab, but I think it is a Scamell, the script on the bonnet looks like their logo.. Likely a later design than the Scarab but with similar intended use or for use as a terminal tractor shunting semi-trailers onto the ferry.. What the model name is, I haven't the foggiest, doesn't seem to be much online about their smaller vehicles

    IRM Fert Wagon

    Just got my shipping notification.. Can't wait for tomorrow
  21. Not strange at all, the current schedule has no train in NW from Saturday morning till Monday afternoon.. The weekend sees both sets of flat wagons and normally a timber stabled in Ballina.. This coming Monday is an exception, as due to engineering work in Tullamore the down train will run on Monday instead of Saturday.. Probably the first down train on a Monday in about 9months
  22. Yes it is true, myself and Ciaran Cooney had a good chat about it at the weekend after seeing the diorama at the MRSI show.. Ciaran, who is an expert on these things reckons there are very few photos of trains on the branch, but his excellent article on sidings in the IRRS journal a few years ago included a few.. He reckons the track layout in the mill was limited, with a loop and a siding/headshunt down the side of the brown roofed(intake) shed.. Here are some pics I took by way of a photo survey in May 2021, the mill is up for planning for the dreaded buy to let apartments, so see it while you can! The foliage hides it, but the small brown roofed shed has a sliding door on the side that looks like it would have received H Vans: The end wall of the brown shed looks like it was open, and has been covered with corrugated after closure.. not sure if rail sidings ran in under the roof or not This shot is taken on the railway line side of Canal looking along the alignment into the mill, the parapet looks in decent condition, and a small pillar still stands in the canal for the skew of the bridge.. the bridge itself was an industrial looking arch girder jobby
  23. Aughinish inports it bauxite in large bulk vessels, mainly from Brazil.. It then exports finished alumina by sea in smaller vessels around Europe.. A friends Grandfather was a ships captain with Arklow shipping and a regular run for him was from Aughinish to Blyth with Alumina, from Blyth the Alumina is railed to Fort William and Lynemouth.. Aughinish receives and ships all its tonnage by sea from its own berth in the river rather than the main Foynes operation.. Tara never shipped from Foynes, and have their own terminal in Dublin port so this is unlikely.. However Foynes did ship Zinc that was railed from Silvermines, on behalf of a Canadian company called… Mogul!
