Stunning work as always, David! Can't wait to see this layout in the flesh.
-
Thanks, Joe! An excellent layout nonetheless...
-
I can't recall whether Harry Mulholland's 'Knockmore Junction' was built to regular 7mm standards or if it's finescale. It shares some stock with 'Octavia Hill', too... Does anyone know for certain?

A gentleman based in Germany has built a Supertrain-era model of Kilkenny station in 21mm gauge. It was featured in the May 2014 edition of New Irish Lines.

There are two distinct layers on the sample to the left... -
Can a Brake Van or Coach stop a runaway train?
Garfield replied to DiveController's question in Questions & Answers
Was the purpose of brake vans not so much to stop runaways as to keep tension in loose couplings to avoid any working loose and splitting the train? -
Hi folks, I've split this conversation from the thread in the 'for sale' section. Can I respectfully remind you all not to derail (pun intended) such threads with tangential discussion. Thanks!
-
Just to add to what Fran has said: some detailing has been refined but we've also added some more eye candy, too.
-
Yeah, separate tooling required for HO and OO...
-
Ah, hadn't noticed you'd changed the sideframes!
-
Now that you've a MM141 chassis under your C class, you could try using its bogie sideframes with the 121. They're pretty much the same, apart from some minor details and a slight difference in length.

Cheers, gents!
-
Finally! Someone appreciates my efforts! Enjoy your wagons!

Another recent addition, once again French rather than Irish: It's an enamel platform nameboard for a station called St Hilare sur Garonne (now known as St Hilare de Lusignan), which closed in the early 1970s. Here's a view of the station as it is now on Google Street View: It's located roughly halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse...

No problem, Patrick! The one at North Wall is located at the wagon servicing facility and is used to raise wagons so that axles can be removed and replaced.
-
There were also similar cranes at Heuston and Dromod, and another at the wagon servicing facility in North Wall, which is still still in use. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head... I'm sure there are more.

Hi Molderman, It'll be hard to judge interest until you put up a list of what's available...
-
I thought Matlock had retired, Dave?
-
Dave has a few curves alright. According to Railway Modeller's latest swimsuit issue, he's 40-33-43. (I'll get me coat...)
-
There's a great echo in here, JB!
-
I'd recommend purchasing 'Modelling the Irish Narrow Gauge' which is a collection of articles by David Lloyd that appeared in Railway Modeller over the years. There are plenty of drawings in it, although I can't recall if the bus coach is amongst them. Either way, it's a useful resource for anyone modelling Irish 3ft. I think the book is out of print now but can still be purchased on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modelling-Irish-Narrow-Gauge-David/dp/090058615X
-
Just to clarify... the Cavan & Leitrim just had the one 'bus coach'. The West Clare had a few of them, but they were on shorter chassis.
-
No, it looks to be the same mouldings with a different livery. The windows on the power cars are painted on.
-
She weighs less than a 201, although her axle loading is a bit higher. It's the platform edges and bridges you'd have to keep an eye on (not to mention the hammer blow from the cylinders)...

Shorter couplings for MM Cravens and Mk2s?
