    From the previous decade... the Drumm Battery Train:

    Nice photos, JB... and it looks like you've figured out how to orientate your photos correctly. A momentous day!

    It was a joke. Trademark JB upside down photo... watermark the right way up...
  4. Garfield
    Sorry, t'was tongue-in-cheek... couldn't help myself (see photo in my post above).
  5. Garfield
    JB, have you considered watermarking your images to protect against ownership being claimed by someone else?

    Great photos, TDR. Valencia Harbour looks great... it really captures the desolation of the wild Atlantic coastline.

    I think I saw a photo of this coach once, in natural metal finish. Can't remember where, though! Looking at the coach end, its profile is slightly reminiscent of the Cravens...

    Welcome to the forum, Bhoulihan. Per site rules, can I ask you to provide an asking price? Cheers.

    Cheers for that!

    I don't think I've ever seen a photo of this locomotive. Do you know of any?

    Don't rule out having a go at scratchbuilding one. There's a great account of a build by Lima33 here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2345-NIR-80-Class-DEMU?highlight=lima33 Not push-pull... they were under their own power. They did replace the old ex-AEC railcar push-pull units on the Greystones and Maynooth services, though.

    The Bachmann class 20 is the way to go, by all accounts. However, I just had a look at the prices they are going for on eBay and nearly fell out of my seat... the cheapest 'buy it now' price is €127.23, with a lot being offered for close to €250 or more, right up to €326.88. And that's all excluding postage.

    Naturally.

    Ha... and a diesel at the end in case they ALL fail! Edit: That video reminds me that in Germany and some other central European countries they have 'Plandampf' events, where preserved steam locomotives take charge of regular service trains, including freight... [video=youtube_share;Xpqkc9uJaSA] Imagine 461 being set loose on the DFDS liner... The closest we've come to anything like that is when the RPSI's LPHC No. 3 was hired by a contractor to haul ballast trains on NIR metals back in the mid '00s.

    I believe the white light was located on the left-hand side of each cluster, so... white red white red. Edit: This photo appears to show that exact arrangement: http://table158photography.weebly.com/uploads/8/2/1/2/8212554/____mj0374.jpg

    Correct... the Metro Vicks always had two red and two white marker lights, as did the B101s.

    Bold, Des... very bold!

    He was asking about the Black and Tan locos, JB!
  25. Garfield
    There's one (141). The other (142) is at Whitehead.
