    Easy one this what you have is one of the tranship wagons the big casting is the fixed end with the smaller casting bottom right being the end wagon crossed over .only thing is it wouldnt have a wooden deck just two lines of rollers,The two wagons above are a couple of the oil tank chassis they acquired which were turned into container flats.

    Surely you mean red dome,Andy

    Short answer no as there are eight of them in three different liveries,however the other two will be widened. Andy

    To be pedantic it was used to make sure the wagons were the right way round to affect the transhipment as the tranship wagons had one end fixed so could only used one way round.Andy

    The Donegal coaches,and the two C&L brakes are avaliable as far as i know,but of a sore subject the Donegal coaches building my th one when i finally sorted out what looked wrong about them,they're too narrow,Pete used the internal width rather than the external making them 6 inches narrower hence the body doesn't overhang the chassis.Andy

    The Porters cap motor was supplied with the later batches as the early ones had a more basic gearbox it doesn't have the original wheels as they were originally 2mm though the centre axle is 2mm to accommodate the 2mm final drive.I remember having a chat with Pete about the 5's apparently he produced 125 kits in all,I wondere how many are built and running?,i've got four operational with two to build i've seen quoted that only about 10% of kits are actually built.

    The little grey Fergies seem to have got everywhere as well as their successor the red Massey 35 the only place they didn't seem to predominate was around Letterkenny were you used to see a lot of the Fordson Dextas .Grey Fordsons were much older beasts,originally built i Dearborn then Cork until production was moved to Dagenham in 1932 appearing in Blue with orange wheels(traditional Essex cart colours apparently) though my one is in RAF blue grey being an ex RAF tractor,Andy

    Simple one that ,yes.Andy

    Yes and then again no the DNG tanks were actually DX 060's with saddletanks,the main difference being the wheel diameter 4'3" for the Specials whereas the DX's were 5'2". I built mine using the London Road kit for the Special tank but with the larger wheels and using the splashers from their DX kit which they do as a spare.Worsley does four of the coachesi most say they do jolly up Valencia when they make an appearance.Andy.

    Its simple i used that setup for Lochty The trick with the SEEPs is to convert the fixing holes into slots(file or burr)and don't tighten the screws just leave them slightly floating that way you have enough movement for the switch,Andy

    Yes please need something to haul my BCDR six wheelers Andy
  20. Andy Cundick
    Quite agree i usually pick up a box of them at Beaulieu Autojumble each year use them on all the models as well as on all my vehicles from Austin to Land Rover via JowettAndy

    For starters theres a track plan in Pattersons Book as well as one in the Narrow Gauge Magazine Donegal special No50 i think the Michael Bunch Book vol 1 has the best selection of Derry section photosthere was an article recently in the IRRS Journal on the derailmenti'll sort out some more details when i dig out my Londonderry section album.Andy

    Valencia has her first trip out in over three years to Yate next Saturday its been exhumed from the workshop(hadn't seen it in while) currently going through the stock,one or two odd combinations seen at the moment Harland & Wolff diesel on a rake of DNGR six wheelers anyone ? Andy.

    Bought a MGW coach it hangs over my workbench as an example a how bad 3d prints can be,Andy
  24. Andy Cundick
    Certainly interested in both loco and tender Andy

    The writeup is a bit odd,as Chris refers to "adding bits of plastic to the locos" whereas 4 and 5 are both scratchbuilt in brass,the railcar is a Worsley kit on a Halling chassis,the Beyer is a Gem kit on a Branchlines chassis and the Kerr Stuart is a Meridian kit on an Arnold TT Kof shunter chassis the only thing i did to the Kof is remove the body,no plastic was used on any of the stock as all the rolling stock is brass as well.still as you say Chris does do a good photo,Andy
